Legacy of Horemheb: The General | Livestream Recording

Описание: Traditionally, the Egyptian monarchy was a father-son affair. But what happens when a commoner becomes the pharaoh? This was the question confronting Horemheb, who had been a high-ranking general and government official during the days of Tutankhamun. Following Tutankhamun’s death around 1330 BCE, Horemheb himself seized power and became the new king of Egypt.
But since Horemheb already had a career before becoming Pharaoh, he had established a tomb in the necropolis of Saqqara. This monument was rediscovered in the 1970s, and within it, archaeologists found elaborate artistic scenes that chronicled the career of the general.
Thus, the pre-royal tomb for Horemheb is one of the most interesting of the period. And in this livestream recording, we're going to explore it in detail and see what can be learned about Horemheb as a man and the society in which he lived, a society that was still grappling with the after effects of Akhenaten's revolution.
