Symposium on Amenhotep III the Sun King

[BBLUX]

There is a 3 day symposium on Amenhotep III starting next Saturday 3rd March at the Mummification Museum. It will be during the day but I do not yet have a programme.
Hopefully I will rectify that tonight and will post more details once I have them.
Attendance will be open to the public.

It is now to be held at LUXOR MUSEUM.
On Saturday 3rd March the public lectures will be 10am until 5pm with a lunch break 2 - 3pm. These will be opened by HE Mohamed Ibrahim Ali, Minister of State for Antiquities (MSA)
