The talk will be held tomorrow, Thursday 15 December from 18:00 onwards in the Assembly Hall and will be run by Marina EscolanoD. in Egyptology from the Johns Hopkins University (USA) and a BA in History from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

This was the turning point for future generations of Egyptologists who have worked to develop this knowledge, as well as to discovering and deciphering new passages that shed light on this culture.
