Not only with the dead? Banqueting in ancient Egypt

Professor John Baines

Despite the presence of vast numbers of scenes of food, drink and
preparations for eating and drinking on ancient Egyptian monuments, images
of people partaking in them are rare. This lecture highlights features of
conviviality and elite settings, including structures where banquets could
be held. The ubiquity of death was seen as a reason to eat and particularly 

to drink before it is too late.

Members free, visitors welcome, a £3 donation invited.
