Join us for an online twilight session on Wednesday 22^nd June 15.45 – 16.45.

Did you know that in 1822, the Egyptian hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone were deciphered for the first time and that in 1922 Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun? Two huge discoveries that gave us unparalleled insight into Ancient Egypt.

Meet Loretta Kilroe, curator for Sudan and Nubia at the British Museum, and gain in-depth knowledge about both these fascinating stories that are sure to fire pupils’ imaginations.

“The expertise of Loretta was such a fabulous resource, which has meant that I can drip in knowledge as I am teaching the children.”
