Egyptian Lovers Offer Free Lectures Tomorrow at MFA

Those who can't get enough of Egypt, Egypt should make their way to the MFA tomorrow afternoon where two Belgian Egyptologists (is there really any other kind?) will present free lectures on their recent discoveries.

Harco Willems, of Leuven University, will discuss the giant statue of Djetihoptep and the Middle Kingdom's "displays of power and authority." Marleen De Meyer, also from Leuven, will discuss the "excavation of the 4,000-year-old tomb of Henu," which sheds light on funerary beliefs in the Middle Kingdom. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Forays into Middle Kingdom Egypt is a free presentation at the Museum of Fine Arts. Tickets are required and are available at the box office. The lectures take place tomorrow, Sunday February 7, at 2 p.m.
