Exploring the trials and tribulations of lesser-known pharaohs, those who the history books have perhaps not given the acclaim they deserve. This maybe as they were overshadowed by an illustrious predecessor or a dynamic successor. Alternatively, they may have lived in troubled times or were of non-Egyptian descent. We will travel through the dynasties reinstating our unsung heroes and heroines. This will include the builder of the first true pyramid, Sneferu, the great unifier Mentuhotep II, the herald of a Nubian Renaissance, Taharqo, the last native Egyptian ruler, Nectanebo II and the forgotten Ptolemaic queens. We will explore the monuments they created and their interactions with national and international relations. We will use a variety of sources including material
culture and textual.

Lunar veneration was overshadowed by solar worship in ancient Egypt. This day school will examine the deities associated with the moon and the roles they played in Egyptian religion and thought. Again, the use of silver is secondary to gold in ancient Egypt. Here we will study the crafting of silver as offerings to the gods, to create jewellery, amulets, coffins, and coinage in the later periods. We will also consider if the ancient Egyptians associated the moon with silver
