Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

Speaker: Mark Lehner, Director and President, Ancient Egypt Research Associates, Inc.
Hybrid lecture: Rediscovering Sculptures of King Menkaure at the Giza Pyramids

Between 1908–1910, Harvard’s George Reisner found some of the most iconic pieces of ancient Egyptian art at the Menkaure Valley Temple at Giza—including four magnificent triad statues and the larger pair statue now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Over a century later, Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) reinvestigated the temple. Join AERA President Mark Lehner to learn about new findings that span 300 years—from the time of Menkaure to the end of the Old Kingdom (2447–2153 BCE). Lehner will also revisit the site where Reisner found the famous pair statue of the king and an unidentified woman–possibly his queen, mother, or a goddess–with surprising new results.
