- Peter Der Manuelian, Harvard University's Giza Project
The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures welcomes back alumni Peter Der Manuelian, Barbara Bell Professor of Egyptology; Director of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, and Harvard University’s Giza Project Director. Manuelian will present an illustrated lecture summarizing some of the great discoveries, archaeological significance, and fascinating personalities behind the expeditions to the tombs and temples surrounding the famous Giza Pyramids. This includes George Reisner, the only rival to James Breasted for the title of greatest American Egyptologist of the time. He will present new technologies for bringing old digs back to life for international collaborative research and teaching.

The final picture of the pyramids in romantic landscape could be sold as copies to raise funds. Beautiful! Direction facing? Photographer?
Yes, a print or download will spread the knowledge of what you have.
@@jpkatz1435 Thank you. I am speaking of the final photo in the presentation.
It's rather interesting. @33:30
We know ancient egyptians depicted things not in a pure natural way, but rather how they thought things are best presented. The statue of Menkaure f.e. shows very broad shoulders and body with a relative smaller head proportionally speaking. The same can be said of the sphinx with it's larger body, but smaller head in the same fashion as the statue of Menkaure. This could perhaps also be an argument that the sphinx is not build from 1000's years earlier civilization, but is genuinly from the Old Kingdom.
So important 59:00

'Late period king', otherwise known as a father.
Still no source material on piramid construction process. That is amazing.
I believe that there are hidden chambers under the Sphynx
The ground beneath the Great Sphinx has been investigated and it has been ascertained to be fissured bedrock with considerable water encroachment. Before the building of the Aswan high dam in the 1960s this water table would have risen during the inundation period to only a few feet below the ground level. No chambers could have successfully dug into such fissured, flooded rock.
Turning Egyptology into a Disney cartoon to interest the kiddies will backfire.
this stinks
