The Glories of Ancient Egypt
January 3 – 15, 2010
TRIP IS FULL!
Let us know if you would like to be added to our waiting list for next year by emailing us at wakce@uwc.edu.
What monuments on earth have inspired more awe and fascination than those of ancient Egypt? Along the Nile River some 5,000 years ago arose one of the world's first civilizations, a civilization that obliges us to ponder the magnificence of antiquity. How was this ancient civilization different from and similar to ours? Beyond the obvious technological improvements are the Egyptian world view, the values, the notion of sacredness, the structure of society and government, the essence of humanness that characterized this early state. Enjoy your journey with us to Egypt and the lush Nile Valley, which cuts a narrow swath through the desert. Let's visit some of the world's greatest monuments and learn about the culture that raised them. Who were the mighty pharaohs, who were the actual pyramid and tomb builders, what were their purposes, and what do these unmatched archaeological sites tell us about humanity and about ourselves? This is no mere tourist trip; travel with a professional archaeologist and look beyond the stone to the ancient people themselves. What caused such a great civilization to emerge when and where it did? How did it manage to keep re-making itself for thousands of years, and what is its modern legacy other than the breathtaking ruins? Join us on a two-week tour including the most important sites, museums and cities, past and present-Cairo, Luxor (Thebes), Alexandria, Memphis and Giza.
