About this Event
The ancient Egyptians were intensely connected to their natural world. As a riverine society surrounded by desert, their seasons revolved agriculture – what they could reap and sow along the narrow band of fertile soil fed by the inundation of the Nile. The cyclical growth and re-growth of plant life was so important to these ancients – it even influenced their ideas around death, rebirth and funerary practices.
Come learn about the beautiful lotus flower, the noble papyrus, cedars they brought from Lebanon, incense trees from Punt – and other legendary flora that the Egyptians glorified in their art, mythology, belief systems and eternal works of architecture.
