OLLI Class: Ancient Egypt

Description

Imagine the last of ancient Egypt... The predictable Nile as it flows from south to north to create the verdant delta with beautiful papyrus, the source of paper. The land of the great pyramids, the land of pharaohs, mummies, hundreds of deities, magnificent architecture, and historical personalities. Historically, Egypt is considered by many historians to be the first civilization. Egypt had the first documented female ruler, the first massive use of geometry, trigonometry, and even astronomy, and was so rich in agricultural production that it was considered the breadbasket of the ancient world. Come join us, as we may not ?walk like an Egyptian? but we will look at all their magnificence and their demise.
