The Golden Age of Tutankhamun:
A Preview of the de Young Exhibit

For the first time in 30 years, the myth, magic and mystery of King Tut return to the Bay Area in June 2009 at the de Young Museum. Discover the history and culture of Egypt's 18th Dynasty, culminating in the nine-year rule of the Boy King. Along the way, we'll ask a number of intriguing questions, only recently answered by Egyptologists: Who were Tut's parents? What was his name at birth? Who was his wife and did he have children? Was he murdered?

We'll also offer in-depth discussion of the exhibit pieces, using the latest in digital education technology. Each artifact tells an amazing story and this course will share those stories with you before you go.

Jehon Grist, Ph.D., Executive Director of Lehrhaus Judaica, will teach these classes. He earned his doctorate in Near Eastern Studies from UC Berkeley, where he was a Regents' Fellow. He has conducted field research in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the Valley of the Queens in southern Egypt.
