Dear ARCE-OC Members and Email subscribers:

We want to alert you to a slight change in Saturday’s ARCE-OC lecture, "The Amarna Royal Family and Modern Genetic Testing," by Diane Hagner. Diane cannot attend in person as originally intended, so her lecture will be shown in Zoom broadcast format. The broadcast will only be to the Bowers Museum in the Norma Kershaw Auditorium, but will be recorded as usual for
those who register through the Bowers Museum for the recorded version.
https://www.bowers.org/programs/talks/arce-the-amarna-royal-family-and-modern-genetic-testing-with-diane-mueller-hagner

All of the usual ARCE-OC activities will be in place onsite at the Museum, including the Welcome Table (where you may check your ARCE membership status), and the opportunity drawing for a number of Amarna era-related prizes. Everyone at the lecture receives a drawing ticket, and additional tickets may be purchased at $1 each or 6 for $5 as an assistive fund-raiser for ARCE-
OC.

We hope to see you on Saturday!

The region of Nubia—now spanning the modern border between Egypt and Sudan—was long a subject of Egyptian imperial domination by its ancient pharaohs. However, in the eighth century BC matters were suddenly reversed, when the kings of Kush, the ancient name for Nubia, became the overlords of Egypt for nearly a century, before being forced to withdraw in the face of Assyrian invasions. Yet the Kush*te kingdom would endure back in its heartlands for another millennium, the heritage of its Egyptian sojourn still visible in its fields of pyramid-tombs. This talk will feature the story of these Nubian pharaohs of Egypt, from the origins of their kingdom of Kush, through their time as rulers of Egypt, to their heritage in the heart of Sudan—and their rediscovery in modern times
