SUMMARY:Chariot and Horse in the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by John Hale\, University of Louisville: \nAfter wild horses were first domesticated on the grasslands of the Eurasian steppes\, troops of nomadic riders began to conquer agricultural communities to the south and east\, thus establishing some of the world’s earliest empires. Although such equids as the donkey and mule (a horse-donkey hybrid) played essential roles in the development of farming\, horses were mainly utilized in hunting\, in displays of status\, and in war\, becoming in time the ultimate status symbol of male dominance from Celtic lands in Atlantic Europe to Chinese kingdoms and empires in eastern Asia. Chariots were first used in raids and battles\, as platforms for archers and spearmen. But their potential for sport and racing ultimately overshadowed their military role\, particularly in the Roman Empire. Lecturer John R. Hale has directed fieldwork at the extensive Roman horse farm of Torre de Palma in Portugal (modern Lusitania)\, where mosaic artists created portraits of five famous stallions. In this illustrated lecture\, he shows how chariot-racing become the most popular sport in the Roman world\, with such hippodromes as the Circus Maximus in Rome becoming the largest of all Roman public structures. \nContact information for the Penn Museum: info@pennmuseum.org\, 215-898-4000

SUMMARY:Great Monuments Lecture Series: THE LASTING LEGACIES OF MESOPOTAMIA Ideas\, Monuments\, Images
DESCRIPTION:Many of the fundamental cultural features of modern western societies have their origins in the civilizations of Mesopotamia\, which flourished from 3000 to 323 BCE in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers\, now modern Iraq. This exploration will highlight aspects of this lasting legacy\, with special reference to the collections on display in the Middle East Galleries. \nHolly Pittman\, Ph.D.\, Curator in the Near East Section and Bok Family Professor in the Humanities\, Penn History of Art\, has excavated in Cyprus\, Turkey\, Syria\, Iraq\, and Iran. She has had primary publication responsibilities of the art\, especially the glyptic art\, from the sites of Malyan in the Fars province of Iran\, Uruk-period Tell Brak\, and Uruk-period Hacienbi Tepe. She co-curated the Museum’s Middle East Galleries as well as the traveling exhibition of the Treasures from the Royal Tombs of Ur. Her current research interests revolve around the excavations of the sites of Konar Sandal South and North in the region of Jiroft\, in south-central Iran. Dr. Pittman has participated in two seasons of excavation of these two mounds and the exploration and survey of the region.\n$5 per lecture.

SUMMARY:"Deep Dig: Unpacking the Stories of Troy and Homer" with the Penn Museum
DESCRIPTION:Unpacking the Stories of Troy and Homer\nFour Thursdays: January 7\, 14\, 21\, and 28\n6:30 pm – 8:00 pm\nWith Dr. C. Brian Rose\nIn this four-part series\, learn about the archaeology of Troy and the Trojan War\, including the ways in which both the site and war have been viewed throughout history. Troy is located in northwestern Turkey\, at one of the easiest crossing points between Europe and Asia. Consequently\, Troy has been a contested region between east and west for the last 3\,000 years. Contemporary discussion of war\, as well as art and literature about modern conflicts\, regularly reference the Trojan War. \nReview the Trojan War’s archaeological evidence and contemplate how armed conflict in and around Troy in the late second millennium BCE influenced the war stories chronicled in Homer’s Iliad. Consider how the physical landscape around Troy has affected participants in more recent struggles\, such as World War I\, during which soldiers at Gallipoli were fighting in the same terrain as Homer’s fictional heroes. In addition\, draw parallels between defeated Trojans and current refugees from Syria who line the same coasts. End with a greater appreciation of the deep legacy of this city\, as evidenced by fragments left behind by its past occupants. \nC. Brian Rose (B.A.\, Haverford College; M. A.\, Ph.D.\, Columbia University) is the Ferry Curator-in-Charge of the Mediterranean Section and James B. Pritchard Professor of Mediterranean Archaeology. Since 1988 he has been Head of Post-Bronze Age excavations at Troy\, and between 2004 and 2007 he directed a survey project in the Granicus River Valley that focused on recording and mapping the Graeco-Persian tombs that dominate the area. He has directed the Gordion Excavation Project in central Turkey since 2013. His research has concentrated on the political and artistic relationship between Rome and the provinces (Dynastic Commemoration and Imperial Portraiture in the Julio-Claudian Period\, Cambridge\, 1997) and on the monuments of Troy during the Classical periods (The Archaeology of Greek and Roman Troy\, Cambridge\, 2014). He served as president of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) between 2007 and 2011\, and received the AIA’s Gold Medal in 2015. He has been a Trustee of the American Academy in Rome since 2001 and currently serves as Chair of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. His recent seminars have dealt with Roman topography\, the archaeology of Troy\, Augustan Rome\, and Hellenistic and Roman sculpture\, architecture\, and coinage. He also curated the Penn Museum’s special exhibition The Golden Age of King Midas (2016)\, featuring artifacts from Gordion through a special loan agreement with the Republic of Turkey. \n$175; $125 Penn Museum Member

SUMMARY:"Deep Dig: How to Read Maya Hieroglyphs A Beginner’s Guide"
DESCRIPTION:How to Read Maya Hieroglyphs\nA Beginner’s Guide\nFour Tuesdays: March 9\, 16\, 23 and 30\n6:30 pm – 8:00 pm\nWith Dr. Simon Martin\nThis four-part\, online course will explain the fundamentals of how ancient Maya glyphs work and how they were first deciphered. Maya script was in use from at least 300 BCE to as late as 1700 CE—a span of two millennia—and it was the most sophisticated writing system to emerge in Mesoamerica\, a region encompassing much of Mexico and Central America. Often carved or painted on materials as diverse as limestone\, jade\, stucco\, clay\, bone\, and barkpaper\, it was used to mark the passage of time and to glorify the reigns of kings and queens. Reading the glyphs has opened unparalleled vistas into Maya life and thought\, transforming our understanding of this ancient American civilization. \nSimon Martin is an Associate Curator in the American Section at the Penn Museum\, a political anthropologist\, and specialist in Maya hieroglyphic writing\, with a particular interest in the history\, politics\, and religious beliefs of the Classic Period (150-900 CE). His major focus for three decades has been on the social and political organization of the Maya lowlands and reconstructing the network of hegemonic ties between polities. He has conducted epigraphic fieldwork at Calakmul\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site set within the largest biosphere in southeastern Mexico since 1994. His work on Calakmul and its political network has appeared or been discussed in Science\, Scientific American\, National Geographic\, Archaeology\, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Simon also took part in the NOVA television program “Cracking the Maya Code” and other shows for the Discovery and History Channels. His most recent contribution was to the National Geographic Channel’s “Lost Treasures of the Snake Kings” (2018). He has authored 37 articles and book chapters\, together with another 15 co-authored pieces. His book Chronicle of the Maya Kings and Queens\, with Nikolai Grube (2000)\, is now in its second edition (2008) and has been translated into five other languages. He co-developed the exhibition “Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya” for the National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C. and Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\, writing its accompanying book together with Mary Miller (2004). He co-curated the exhibition “MAYA 2012: Lords of Time” and the Penn Museum’s newly installed Mexico and Central America Gallery. His most recent book “Ancient Maya Politics” was published by Cambridge University Press this year. \n$175 General | $125 Member

SUMMARY:Artifacts and Archaeological Processes: The Lives and Afterlives of Objects in Pompeii
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Catherine Baker\, Bryn Mawr College\nFrom the chipped corners of an ancient die to the mortar on a reused inscription\, artifacts tell stories. Archaeologists reconstruct these object biographies\, tracing the lives of ancient artifacts from their creation to their final deposition. In this talk\, I explore the stories of some of the artifacts excavated by the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (University of Cincinnati)\, including dice and gaming pieces\, statuettes\, tools of potters\, and even nails. These object biographies shed light not only on the way people first used these objects\, but on their afterlives – the ways in which objects were discarded\, recycled\, and reused. These lives and afterlives of objects\, in turn\, shape the archaeology of a site\, allowing us to trace the complex patterns of use\, reuse\, and discard which characterized the history of one neighborhood in the Roman city of Pompeii.\nHybrid Event.

SUMMARY:American Research Center in Egypt- Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) Lecture: Dr. Luigi Prada
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 15 \nDr. Luigi Prada\nAsst. Professor of Egyptology\, 
Uppsala University (Sweden) \n“If a crocodile has sex with her\, she will die swiftly”:
 Dreams and Divination in Ancient Egypt” \n3:30pm\nClassroom L2

\, Penn Museum \nAbstract \nIn the ancient world\, the Egyptians had a reputation for excelling in divination\, the practice of gaining knowledge about the future via occult channels. Many types of divination were known and habitually practiced in ancient Egypt\, primarily by temple priests who employed specific handbooks for this purpose. Such arts included astrology\, the study of the behavior of animals (so-called animal omina)\, oil divination (aka lecanomancy)\, and more. But one particularly popular branch of divination was oneiromancy\, that is\, dream interpretation. \nThis talk will introduce the audience to new research on ancient Egyptian oneiromancy\, discussing in detail the workings of dream interpretation manuals and what light they shed on our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian mind. \nBiography:\nDr. Luigi Prada is Assistant Professor of Egyptology at Uppsala University\, Sweden. Formerly\, he was a member of the Egyptology departments of Oxford\, Heidelberg\, and Copenhagen University. Within Egyptology\, he specializes in textual\, religious\, and social studies\, with particular focus on the Late and Graeco-Roman Periods. He is passionate about fieldwork\, and is the Assistant Director of the Oxford/Uppsala epigraphic team working with Egyptian colleagues in Elkab in southern Egypt; he has also participated in fieldwork in Sudan. He is currently President of the Society of Friends and Collaborators of the Museo Egizio in Turin (ACME).

SUMMARY:In Between: A Play Written and Performed by Ibrahim Miari
DESCRIPTION:In Between is an award-winning\, semi-autobiographical one-man show that portrays the complexities and contradictions inherent in Palestinian-Israeli identity. On the precipice between two cultures stands Ibrahim Miari\, son of a Palestinian Muslim father and Jewish Israeli mother. In this riveting and thought-provoking one-man show\, written and performed by Miari\, he recalls his childhood in Israel and brings us into the complexities and contradictions that define his life “In Between” two worlds. With deftness\, wit\, and humor\, Miari transcends today’s political distractions and reminds us of the deeper inner struggles and bonds that link us all. \nThe play touches upon issues such as identity\, culture\, religion\, traditions\, and the tensions between Jews and Arabs\, Israelis and Palestinians. Miari has performed the show at theater festivals\, universities\, Hillels\, synagogues\, and churches across the United States\, as well as at international theater festivals\, where it received the Best Show Award at the Thesips International Monodrama Festival and the Audience Favorite Award at the Bitola International Monodrama Festival. \nAfter the performance Miari will offer a “talk-back\,” giving audience members the opportunity to ask questions\, discuss issues that the play brought up for them\, and engage in dialogue with one another. \nBefore the show\, enjoy the Penn Museum’s new Eastern Mediterranean gallery\, open two hours prior to start time.

SUMMARY:Stolen Legacy: A Conversation with the Artist and Curator
DESCRIPTION:Adult Events \nIn partnership with internationally-renowned artist\, composer\, and educator Hannibal Lokumbe\, the Penn Museum presents Stolen Legacy\, a libretto and musical commentary on the removal of art from the African continent. This provocative piece responds to how\, in Lokumbe’s own words\, “the exchange of money for art created expressly for the spiritual maintenance of a tribe and/or nation can create a lasting physiological wound to the culture from which it was removed.” He adds that “nowhere is this more evident than in the case of African art.” This program is part of the Museum’s own reflective process about our institutional history\, which is tied to colonialist and racist narratives\, and our work to reconcile our past with restorative practices. \nBe a part of this ongoing conversation about the history of museums and about ethical stewardship of the legacy of the past. \nAs part of a multi-tiered experience that includes classroom visits and a free public performance\, join Hannibal Lokumbe\, composer/author of Stolen Legacy\, for a conversation about the the intersections of art\, the cultural legacy of colonialism\, and monetary exchange\, open to both University of Pennsylvania students and the general public at the Penn Museum on January 13 at 3 pm. Dr. Tukufu Zuberi\, Curator of our Africa Galleries and Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations in Penn’s Sociology Department\, will facilitate the discussion between the artist and the audience. \nAbout Hannibal Lokumbe \nClassic composer and jazz trumpeter Hannibal Lokumbe (né Marvin Peterson) has been celebrating and commemorating the African-American experience through music and words for over four decades. Lokumbe’s work has been commissioned and performed by symphonies and orchestras across the country\, including the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra\, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra\, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra \, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. His oratorio “African Portraits” has been performed over two hundred times by orchestras across America since its Carnegie Hall debut in 1990\, and was recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim. He has received numerous fellowships and awards\, including from the NEA\, and is a Lifetime Inductee to the Harlem Jazz Hall of Fame.

DESCRIPTION:The first excavations at ancient Phoenix (in southwestern Turkey)\, beginning in 2022\, have yielded extensive evidence for the existence of an Apollo Sanctuary at the site\, which was in use from the early Hellenistic period. The archaeological data have shown that the Doric temple transformed into a basilica in late antiquity\, serving as a church until the late Byzantine Period. This lecture focuses on the material culture that witnessed the ritual activities\, dedications\, and architectural transformation of the Apollo Sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Great Lectures: Teotihuacan: Rome of the Ancient Americas
DESCRIPTION:Around 100 CE\, a huge metropolis began to emerge in the Basin of Mexico\, one the Aztecs would later call Teotihuacan\, or “Birthplace of the Gods.” It quickly came to dominate the region\, and\, with its completely new urban grid-plan\, contained as many as 150\,000 people. Its two gigantic buildings\, the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon\, were surrounded by smaller temples\, plazas\, and a thousand or more apartment compounds. They were all once richly painted in dazzling colors and complex designs depicting twisting feathered serpents\, prowling jaguars\, storm gods and water goddesses\, priests\, warriors\, and lords. But its history has long been a mystery\, and we are only now beginning to understand its importance and impact on ancient Mesoamerica. \nSpeaker: Simon Martin\, Associate Curator and Keeper in the American Section\, Penn Museum and Adjunct Associate Professor Anthropology\, UPenn

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Rune Nyord\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Annual Felix Korsyn Lecture\nSaturday March 18 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Rune Nyord\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow (2022/23) at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts in Washington\, D.C.\nLecture Topic: “No other satisfactory reason can be given”: The European discovery of the ancient Egyptian afterlife \nAbstract:\nThe modern understanding of the ancient Egyptians as bent on a quest for eternal life is the result of a long history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. Associations like the preservation of bodies for eternity and initiation into religious mysteries interacted with textual sources of the Biblical and Classical traditions to shape images of the ancient culture that could be deployed in a variety of contexts for theological\, philosophical\, colonial\, and other purposes. This lecture examines some key formative moments in this tradition\, suggesting that many aspects of the modern understanding of Egyptian afterlife beliefs owe as much to the contemporary concerns of the milieus that helped shape them as to the ancient Egyptian sources that were only gradually becoming known as these ideas were crystalizing. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Rune Nyord is Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University in Atlanta\, GA\, and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (2022/23) in Washington\, D.C. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in ancient Egyptian funerary culture\, as well as the history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. He is the author of Breathing Flesh: Conceptions of the Body in the Ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts (Museum Tusculanum Press 2009) and Seeing perfection: Ancient Egyptian images beyond representation (Cambridge University Press 2020)\, and has edited and co-edited of several volumes\, the most recent being Concepts in Middle Kingdom Funerary Culture (Brill 2019). \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members. For non-ARCE members admission is as follows: $10 general admissions; $7 for Penn Museum members\, Faculty & Staff; $5 for Students with ID (12 and under FREE).

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: North American Mounds as World Heritage
DESCRIPTION:A millennium ago\, Native people constructed over 120 earthen mounds at the site of Cahokia\, a World Heritage site in Illinois. Built entirely by hand\, the largest of these constructions towered 100 feet over a city that was more densely populated than the contemporary medieval city of London. Over two thousand years before Cahokia’s construction\, Native people in Louisiana built Poverty Point\, another World Heritage site\, and one of the only earthwork complexes that rivals Cahokia’s size and complexity–and they did so without agriculture or permanent settlements. These sites highlight the incredible engineering ability of ancient Americans\, and remind us that we don’t need a passport to visit sites of outstanding universal value. \nSpeaker: Megan C. Kassabaum\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, UPenn
