At school, we were always used to being taught staple subjects whether it be Math, History, English, or Social Studies. Our minds were never capable of expanding due to the stable subjects we were given.

As younger kids back in the days, many things drove our imagination to wander, which is why we were always hoping for more. What if we were taught Astrology or maybe even Mythology? What would our lives be like today, but most importantly, how would our minds be like?

Breaking news ,that is the best we have heard so far, is that the Egyptology Research Organization Egypt Exploration Society has gracefully decided to offer free archaeological lectures online! Can you believe it? Archaeology is a very expensive subject to learn as it is greatly enriched with so much knowledge, which is why this is a big deal!

The Egypt Exploration Society (EES) is known to be UK’s biggest funding organization for Research, Training, and Fieldwork for those who are interested in studying Egyptology. Free online lectures will be handled by expert Egyptologists who have been working in the field for decades as well as have so much knowledge to let us in on.

The EES dates back to 1882 and since then has explored a range of 150 sites amidst the Nile Valley. Not just that, but they’ve also published more than 350 volumes of the research and knowledge they have gathered!

For those of you who are eager to learn about your ancient land of Kemet, the first free lecture will take place on March 25^th. The will discuss the rehousing of over 5000 glass plate negatives (photographs) from the excavations at Armant and Abydos.

The second lecture, taking place on March 24^th & 26^th will cover a brief history of the Egyptian society dating back to its origins in 1982. The lectures are some sort of a webinar but unfortunately has a capacity of 100 people. Make sure to register at their EES events section on their page.
