College Town Conversations: Ancient Egypt and the Secrets of Sacred Baboons
Thursday, April 24
6:30-7:30 p.m.
| |
Baboons were venerated in ancient Egypt, which is puzzling because baboons were never native to the region. Egyptian trafficking of living baboons over land and sea can be traced to the very origins of farming in the Nile Valley, representing a longstanding fascination with animals from distant lands. Join Nathaniel Dominy, Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College, for a discussion of his research on mummified baboons in ancient Egypt.
