What if the treasure of Khufu was discovered during Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign and secretly hidden somewhere in Paris? To solve the mystery, Christian Robinson, an archaeologist with unorthodox methods, embarks on an extraordinary quest from Cairo to the most iconic places in Paris.

He has worked in the development field for 40 years and is an emeritus professor of urbanism at Wits University. Join us for a talk on the rise and fall of the city’s economy and listen to Prof Mabin’s thoughts on how community can help the city rise once more.
