Harvard’s Philip J. King Professor of Egyptology
Peter Der Manuelian first discovered his passion for all things Egypt
during a fourth grade history class at the Belmont Day School.

“I remember that as the first class that actively grabbed my
attention,” said Manuelian.

From there, he was hooked. Luckily, young Manuelian was able to foster
this interest locally at the famous Egyptian collection at Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).

Manuelian is Harvard University’s first Egyptologist in more than half
a century.
