Egypt was one of the few ancient societies where love was a big reason for marrying. And we have plenty of evidence: paintings and statues showing affection between husband and wife, love poems expressing devotion, and letters of longing when a husband or wife dies.
In this one-time class, we'll discuss:
𓂀 The age of marriage for young men and women.
𓂀 What a marriage ceremony was like.
𓂀 The...Students will learn about:
1. The societies that approve of love as a reason for marriage.
2. How to find/view archaeological evidence for love in ancient
societies.
3. How a modern archaeologist influences the
interpretation of the evidence you find in ancient cultures.I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours. As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian object into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or even Native American studies. I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon for a class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn. And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
