Middle Kingdom Egypt

Forged in a time of famine and political fragmentation, the reunited Egypt of the Middle Kingdom gave birth to new conceptions of the afterlife and the notion of the autocratic king as good shepherd. The Egyptians themselves viewed the Middle Kingdom as a classic period and a pattern to be imitated by later generations. In this class, you will study the art, architecture, and history of the Middle Kingdom and examine the neighboring cultures of Nubia and the Levant, not only from the perspective of ancient Egyptian literature, but also through the discoveries of modern archaeology.
