[Lecture] Harvard Semitic Museums Presents: The Dog Catacombs of Annubis @ Yenching Auditorium, Harvard...

In this free, public and illustrated lecture, Paul Nicholson, Professor in Archaeology, will discuss the sacred role that dogs played in the cult of Anubis—the dog-headed deity associated with the afterlife—and what their mummification reveals about ancient Egyptian culture based on the findings of a recent full excavation of the site and the careful examination of the dog mummies found there.
