The surviving statues represent some of the finest in ancient Egyptian sculpture. Crafted for eternity\, these statues served as “bodies” through which the king could function in this life and the next. The iconography\, inscriptions\, figural groupings\, stances\, gestures\, and even the damage of these statues have stories to tell. While these stories rarely involved ordinary Egyptians\, certain statue details hint at far-reaching economic ties that did. This talk dives into the mysteries behind Menkaure’s sculptures—exploring their symbolism\, damage\, and relocation—and reveals how much they still have to say\, even after thousands of years. \nAdvance registration recommended for online and in-person attendance. \nFree admission. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 4:00 pm. Presented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science and Culture.

Movius\, Jr. Lecture Series \nLouise Leakey\, Director\, Koobi Fora Research Project; Research Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Stony Brook University; National Geographic Explorer at Large \nKenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin has been—for over five decades—a cornerstone in unraveling the story of human origins in Africa. In this lecture\, renowned paleoanthropologist Louise Leakey will delve into the groundbreaking discoveries at Lake Turkana\, including hominins and fossil fauna that have reshaped our understanding of human ancestry. She will discuss the challenges of early exploration\, and the impact of the Koobi Fora research camp\, the National Museums of Kenya\, and the Turkana Basin Institute\, in advancing paleoscience. In closing\, she will address opportunities to enhance research\, collections care\, and capacity-building at Lake Turkana through innovative funding\, collaborations\, and citizen science projects. \nAdvance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance. Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nPresented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture\, and the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University. \nLouise Leakey is a third-generation Kenyan paleoanthropologist who is carrying on the legacy of the famed Leakey family in the search for human origins in Kenya’s fossil-rich Turkana Basin. A National Geographic Explorer at Large\, Leakey\, daughter of Meave and Richard Leakey\, and granddaughter of Louis and Mary Leakey\, all renowned paleoanthropologists\, became actively involved in fossil discoveries at age five when she was proclaimed the youngest documented person to find a hominid fossil. Educated in the UK\, she earned a PhD in Biology from University College London in 2001. Leakey also serves as a research professor in Anthropology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. Louise directs the paleo-anthropological expeditions of the Koobi Fora Research Project in northern Kenya. New discoveries by her team in recent years include multiple hominin fossils\, as well as the 1.5 million-year hominin trackway published in Science in 2024. A new species discovered at Lake Turkana in 1999 extended human fossil diversity back to 3.5 million years and\, according to the New York Times\, “overturns the prevailing view that a single line of descent stretched through the early stages of human ancestry.” Additional fossils recovered from this time period in recent years have contributed to the understanding of the diversity in the hominin fossil record. In addition to her long-term field studies in the Turkana Basin\, Leakey also works closely with local communities and alongside wildlife authorities to preserve Kenya’s unique plants and animals of Kenya’s north. A lively lecturer\, she gives talks and distributes science stories to Kenyan school children as part of the outreach efforts of her research project through her organization Leakey Journeys and Expeditions. Born and brought up in East Africa\, she has travelled widely throughout the continent. Her family has been involved in the field of human origins for several generations and has contributed enormously to the understanding of our African origins through their work in both Kenya and Tanzania. Her family has been involved in politics and government\, national museums\, and wildlife conservation. Her husband\, Emmanuel de Merode\, is Director of Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo\, Africa’s oldest national park and home to endangered mountain gorillas. His team has worked tirelessly to secure the future of this protected area through significant investments in renewable energy in this war-torn region. Louise is a mother of two adult daughters\, a pilot\, and an educator. She has many colorful experiences and insights to share.

Told from the perspective of the murdered Pharaoh Amenemhat I\, the poem is remarkable for its grim subject matter and popularity in ancient Egypt and Nubia. While previous scholarship on “Amenemhat” has focused on the poem’s composition\, Geoga’s lecture will focus on its enduring legacy after 1\,000 years in circulation. Margaret Geoga will explore who read “The Teaching of Amenemhat\,” how they understood it\, and how ancient interpretations differ from those of modern Egyptologists. \nAdvance registration recommended for in-person and online attendance. Free event parking at 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nMargaret Geoga is assistant professor of Egyptology at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures and the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Chicago. Her research focuses on ancient Egyptian literature\, scribal culture\, textual transmission\, and reception in both ancient Egypt and later periods. Her other research interests include ancient Egyptian intellectual history\, translation\, literary theory\, and the history of Egyptology. Her work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation\, and the American Philosophical Society. She is also a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (2023–25). Geoga holds a PhD in Egyptology from Brown University\, where she also completed a concurrent MA in Comparative Literature. Prior to The University of Chicago\, she was an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Humanities at the Wolf Humanities Center of the University of Pennsylvania. She also taught at Brown University and Providence College. Her current book project focuses on “The Teaching of Amenemhat\,” an enigmatic Middle Egyptian poem depicting the murder of a pharaoh. Combining textual criticism\, material philology\, and reception theory\, the monograph investigates how this unusual and highly popular text was passed down\, edited\, and reinterpreted over the course of approximately 1\,000 years by its many ancient readers in both Egypt and Nubia.

Since then\, other impressive public monuments and religious buildings have been discovered in downtown Mexico City in the area occupied by the sacred precinct of Tenochtitlan. Archaeologists recently uncovered the largest Aztec sculpture ever found—of the earth goddess Tlaltecuhtli. After providing an overview of the history of archaeology in Mexico City\, Leonardo López Luján will undertake a formal\, iconographic\, and symbolic analysis of the Tlaltecuhtli stone to unveil its functions and meanings. He will also describe the exceptionally rich offerings buried under this sculpture as well as the possible presence of a royal tomb at the foot of the Templo Mayor. \nFree admission.

His discovery predated all previous evidence by over 300 million years. Life began in Greenland. At the same time\, its melting ice masses are disintegrating day-by-day\, and scientists around the world agree that it could drown our entire civilization if it continues. \nDirector Ivalo Frank’s new film is a tribute to a vast\, scenic country caught between two extremes: the beginning and the end of life on Earth as we know it. Frank’s film is anchored by an encounter with a group of children from the village of Kangaatsiaq who fall in love\, form friendships\, and struggle with loss and longing.\nA Q&A with filmmaker Ivalo Frank and Sussi Adelholm\, Head of School in Kangaatsiaq\, Greenland\, will follow the screening. \nFree event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage.

Both basic and precious goods from faraway lands “shipped” to royal palaces\, elite estates—sometimes even rural households—and technological advances in craftsmanship and commerce transcended boundaries of language\, religion\, or culture to spread rapidly. Mediterranean Marketplaces explores how the movement of goods\, peoples\, and ideas around the ancient Mediterranean transformed the lives and livelihoods of people at all levels of society\, driving innovations that had lasting impacts—even on the modern world.

Maya women were often essential for uniting kingdoms. When a marriage was arranged between Maya royal families\, kings would exchange gifts like this ceramic three-legged plate for serving chocolate. Use the museum’s iPad as a “magic window” to discover fine details on one such plate that cannot be seen on the actual artifact. A gallery facilitator will guide you through the experience and will share more about the Maya. \nRegular museum admission rates apply. \nPhoto © Tony Rinaldo URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/augmented-reality-maya-chocolate-plate-2/ LOCATION:Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology\, 11 Divinity Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:International Archaeology Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/10-21-maya-plate-TonyRinaldo-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.377512;-71.1141269 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 11 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=11 Divinity Avenue:geo:-71.1141269,42.377512 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231011T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231011T190000 DTSTAMP:20260422T170653 CREATED:20230929T141321Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230929T141321Z UID:10006555-1697047200-1697050800@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:The Living Dead in Ancient Egypt DESCRIPTION:“Oh Unas\, you have not gone away dead\, but alive.” The Pyramid Text quoted here tells us that the ancient Egyptians believed in the continued influence of the dead in the lives of the living. The dead in ancient Egypt were supernatural intermediaries\, folk heroes\, and some were even deified\, worshiped as gods in the Egyptian pantheon. This talk will build on the research found in Dr. Troche’s first book\, Death\, Power\, and Apotheosis in Ancient Egypt (Cornell University Press\, 2021) and invite audiences to learn about the spectrum of deceased actors in ancient Egypt. In particular\, she will delve into the process by which some of these dead were deified and the ramifications of this deification\, such as challenging royal authority during the Pyramid Age. \nFree and open to the public.

Today\, this well-preserved village is a key source of information about the daily lives\, artistic practices\, and religious traditions of ancient Egyptians. Yasmin El Shazly will discuss the importance of ancestor worship in Deir el-Medina—particularly of Amenhotep I and his mother Ahmose-Nefertari.

An iron dagger from the tomb of King Tutankhamun is one of the oldest Egyptian objects verified to be of meteoritic origin. In this lecture\, Almansa-Villatoro will discuss Egyptian texts\, iconography\, and religious writings that associate iron with the sky and stars\, indicating that ancient Egyptians were aware that meteorites came from space. This knowledge—most likely shared with other ancient civilizations that connected iron and sky in their texts—was lost in modern times\, as it was only until the eighteenth century that meteorites were confirmed to be of extraterrestrial origin. \nFree event parking at 52 Oxford Street Garage.

Capellini\, Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology\, Harvard University \nBeing able to walk upright on two feet is a physical trait that distinguishes modern humans from our early ancestors. While the evolution of bipedalism has contributed to our success as a species\, it has also limited the evolution of other features and increased our risk for certain diseases. Capellini will discuss the genetic research that is helping scientists better understand the relationship between bipedalism and our risk of developing knee osteoarthritis—a degenerative disease that afflicts at least 250 million people worldwide.

Leventhal\, Professor\, Department of Anthropology and Executive Director\, Penn Cultural Heritage Center\, Penn Museum\, University of Pennsylvania \nThe story of Maya culture as a once-great civilization that built towering pyramids in the jungles of Central America was developed and popularized by national governments\, anthropologists\, and archaeologists. Previously unable to control the story of their own culture\, Maya communities today are actively reframing their heritage and centering their most recent history—not the distant past—to regain power and self-determination.

Corcoran\, Professor of Art History; Director\, Institute of Egyptian Art & Archaeology University of Memphis \nIn ancient Egypt\, one of the final steps in the mummification process was to equip the body with a permanent face covering that helped to protect the head and also to ritually transform the deceased into a god. The earliest examples of these were stylized masks\, later replaced by more realistic-looking\, painted portraits. Using evidence from the archaeological record and\nthe Book of the Dead—a series of spells meant to guide the dead as they sought eternal life— Lorelei Corcoran will discuss the production and function of the “mummy portraits” that were popular throughout Egypt in the Roman period and what these images reveal about the religious beliefs and multi-layered ethnicities of their subjects. \nFree parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. \nPresented by the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Harvard Art Museums \nRelated exhibition at the Harvard Art Museums: Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt open through December 31\, 2022 \nImage courtesy Harvard Art Museums: 1939.111 URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/the-mummy-portraits-of-roman-egypt-status-ethnicity-and-magic/ LOCATION:Geological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/10-06_corcoran_detail.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.3781869;-71.1154884 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Geological Lecture Hall 24 Oxford Street Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=24 Oxford Street:geo:-71.1154884,42.3781869 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220427T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220427T200000 DTSTAMP:20260422T170653 CREATED:20220413T134734Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220413T134734Z UID:10006362-1651082400-1651089600@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Members Night at the Museum (Hybrid Event) DESCRIPTION:Harvard Museums of Science & Culture members are invited to a fun\, informative\, rotating tour of our newest exhibitions.

But what is the relationship between these images—along with the deep history they evoke and the processes of discovery that made them visible—and the history of modern Egypt? In this talk\, Wendy Doyon will discuss the relationship between state\, archaeology\, and labor in Mehmed (or Muhammad) Ali’s Egypt—an autonomous khedival\, or viceregal\, state within the late Ottoman Empire—and explain how the power of the Egyptian state in the nineteenth century was built\, in large part\, on the creation of modern antiquities land and the organization of Egyptian workers as state assets controlled by Mehmed Ali Pasha and his dynasty-building successors. \nPresented by Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/the-power-of-antiquity-in-the-making-of-modern-egypt-free-virtual-lecture/ LOCATION:Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East\, 6 Divinity Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/doyon_600x400.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.3780714;-71.1139248 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East 6 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=6 Divinity Avenue:geo:-71.1139248,42.3780714 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220420T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220420T190000 DTSTAMP:20260422T170653 CREATED:20220323T164920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220323T164920Z UID:10005934-1650477600-1650481200@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Mexican Red: The Perfect Color that Changed the World (Free Virtual Event) / Rojo Mexicano: El Color Perfecto que Cambió el Mundo (Conferencia Virtual Gratuita) DESCRIPTION:Gabriela Soto Laveaga\, Professor of the History of Science and Antonio Madero Professor for the Study of Mexico\, Harvard University \nCochineal (Dactylopius coccus) is a small insect that produces a brilliant red pigment. Found in textiles\, paintings\, cosmetics\, and many other objects that span the globe\, cochineal is an integral part of world history. Cochineal pigment was used by Mesoamerican peoples long before the Spanish arrived in the sixteenth century. After being introduced to Europe\, it quickly became a precious commodity and control over its global trade was a source of conflict and competition for over three centuries. In this lecture\, Gabriela Soto Laveaga will trace the fascinating history of cochineal production and the many efforts to control its trade. \nPresented in English with live Spanish interpretation by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with the Mexico Program​​​​​​​ of the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. \nVisit the related bilingual online exhibit launching April 20\, Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red\, at https://hmsc.harvard.edu/exhibit-spotlight. \n***\nLa cochinilla (Dactylopius coccus) es un pequeño insecto que produce un pigmento rojo brillante.

Harmand\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, Turkana Basin Institute\, Stony Brook University; Director\, Mission Préhistorique au Kenya/West Turkana Archaeological Project \nHuman evolutionary scholars have long assumed that the earliest stone tools were made by members of the genus Homo\, 2.4–2.3 million years ago\, and that this technological development was directly linked to climate change and the spread of savannah grasslands. In the last decade\, fieldwork in West Turkana\, Kenya\, has revealed evidence of much earlier technological behavior. Sonia Harmand will discuss the discovery of stone tools in a 3.3-million-year-old archaeological site in Kenya known as Lomekwi 3. She will show how this discovery is reshaping our understanding of the emergence of human-like manipulative capabilities\, as well as the development of cognition in early hominins—the group consisting of modern humans and all our immediate ancestors. \nPresented by Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/exploring-humanitys-technological-origins-virtual-lecture/ CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/harmand-at-Lomekwi-3-site-600x400-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220331T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220331T190000 DTSTAMP:20260422T170653 CREATED:20220302T153843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220302T153843Z UID:10006333-1648749600-1648753200@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Exploring Egypt’s Middle Kingdom at the Site of Ancient Thebes (Virtual Lecture) DESCRIPTION:Antonio J. Morales\, Assistant Professor of Egyptology\, University of Alcalá; Real Colegio Complutense Visiting Fellow 2022\, Harvard University; Director\, The Middle Kingdom Theban Project \nOne of ancient Egypt’s high points of cultural\, intellectual\, and social life was the period referred to as the Middle Kingdom (2030–1650 BCE). The ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor) was the Egyptian capital during the early stage of this period and the site of multiple funerary temples and tombs. In this lecture\, Egyptologist Antonio Morales will discuss an international and multidisciplinary project that is conducting archaeological\, historical\, and cultural research\, as well as conservation work\, in Deir el-Bahari and Asasif—two funerary areas at Thebes—to better understand the city’s role in the development of Egypt’s classical age. \nPresented by Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/exploring-egypts-middle-kingdom-at-the-site-of-ancient-thebes-virtual-lecture/ CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/morales-Photo_2_600x400.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
