Dear Friends of ARCE-PA,

“Tutankhamun’s Father”
DR. JAMES P. ALLEN, Brown University, Rhode Island
Saturday, September
11th, 3:30 PM
Classroom 2, Penn Museum
One of the key questions of ancient Egyptian history is the relationship of the
"boy-king" Tutankhamun to his predecessor, the "heretic"
pharaoh Akhenaten, and the Amarna royal family. Drawing of both
well-established data and new findings from study of DNA, this talk presents
one possible solution to the historical mystery.
Dr. James P. Allen is the Wilbour Professor of Egyptology at Brown University and president of the International Association of Egyptologists. He has served as Cairo Director of ARCE and curator of Egyptian art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is the author of numerous books and articles of ancient Egyptian language, literature, religion and history.
