Presentations

My presentations cover two different fields:

UNEARTHING EGYPTOLOGY:
A look into the history, theology, architecture and landscape of ancient Egypt
DISCOVERING THE MEDITERANEAN:
Interesting events, art, artists and characters from around the Mediterranean 

Each presentation is written as a ‘stand-alone’ talk – complete in itself, lasting approximately 45 – 60 minutes..
My Egyptian presentations run chronologically, and can also be delivered as a sequence of individual, and related talks.
However, ‘ Ancient Egypt: A History in Twelve Objects‘ and ‘Beautiful Florence: A History in Ten Objects’ can be delivered as fewer objects to fit individual timetables, or as two shorter talks of ‘Six Objects’ – each lasting approximately 45 minutes.
