Anthony T. Browder, founder and director of IKG Cultural Resources, has devoted 30 years to researching ancient Egyptian history, science, philosophy and culture. He currently directs the excavation and restoration of the 25th dynasty tomb of Karakhamun in Luxor. Browder is the first African American to fund and coordinate an archeological dig in Egypt and has conducted more than two dozen archeological missions – he is always discovering and will talk about his own discoveries and our ongoing fascination with King Tutankhamen.
Enoch Pratt librarian Tyler Williams will talk about how and why the pyramids were built. Through it all, visitors of all ages may write their name in hieroglyphs and modern Arabic, play ancient Egyptian games, decorate crowns and necklaces and roll a papyrus scroll.
Just as brilliant minds worked to decipher the Rosetta Stone, YOU can follow clues leading to a sound studio where you can listen to the trumpets actually found in King Tut’s tomb. Karen Leggett Abouraya will read from her picture book Hands Around the Library: Protecting Egypt’s Treasured Books and the Koshery Corner food truck will be serving right outside.
Come celebrate the
100th Anniversary of the Discovery of King Tut's tomb
and the
200th Anniversary of the Translation of the Rosetta Stone
