Illustrated Talk: An Introduction to Hidden Art in Ancient Egypt

Millions of us admire the eternal beauty of Tutankhamun’s funerary mask. But can you spot the hidden art in it? And why is it hidden, anyway?
In this talk, the first in a series of three to be held in Somerset this spring, local author and speaker Justin Newland introduces some of the mysteries of hidden art in ancient Egypt.
He not only explores the easily seen messages and codes in their art but also reveals concealed figures and animals.
talk will appeal to the art lover, the student of history, those fascinated by Egypt, or anyone curious about the enigmas of life.
