Talk 'Mar de fons: voyages and expeditions The ancient Egyptians and the sea’, with Irene Cordón i Solà-Sagalé

Back

With Irene Cordón i Solà-Sagalé, Doctor of Ancient History

In the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el -Bahari there are a series of reliefs that illustrate one of humankind's earliest documented voyages to the land of Punt which was led by Queen Hatshepsut herself in the 15th century AD. In this talk we’ll be examining the Ancient Egyptians’ relationship with the sea, including not only their naval exploration and trade with the Land of Punt, but also the literary journey of Amun of Thebes to the island of Cyprus which offers a fascinating insight into the relations between Egypt and other maritime regions.
