Color: Its Significance and Production in Ancient Egypt

Dr. Jehane Ragai, professor of chemistry at The American University in Cairo, will give a lecture on the study of color in Ancient Egyptian culture, Wednesday, April 9, at 4:00 p.m. in Room 1007 in Engineering Buidling I on Centennial Campus. The lecture will illustrate the complementary contributions of the humanities and science to the study of color in Ancient Egyptian culture. Ancient Egyptians were primarily concerned with a precise language of color, which in spite of being predominantly symbolic, later acquired aesthetic connotations. Such a language found full expression through carefully controlled means of production and manufacture.

This lecture is hosted by the departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry.

Lecture Start Time: 4:00 PM (Refreshments will be served at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2002, Engineering Building I. )
