  6. Our August meeting (Sunday 3rd, ONLINE via Zoom) will feature Dr Jacquelyn Williamson giving a talk on "Nefertiti's Sun Temple: Queenship and Death at Amarna".

    Nefertiti's Sun Temple, called a "Sunshade of Re," is a fascinating puzzle. Although partially destroyed in antiquity, enough remains of its decoration to ask, and sometimes answer, new questions about the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt (1/3)
