- **Event Description**: An interactive hands-on study day that focuses on ancient Egyptian animals, how they were viewed, treated and worshiped!About this EventOur Bolton's Egypt Study Days have been going from strength to strength since our first, "All About Mummification", in Summer 2024. With this latest day we bring you "Animals in Ancient Egyptian Religion".Animals were central to ancient Egyptian belief, and were integral to the civilisation's identity. They were revered as sacred beings, embodying divine power, but also played essential social and practical roles in everything from food and labour to fertility and protection. In this study day we explore the animals encountered by the ancient Egyptians, how they were featured in daily life, and how they were incoporated into the ancient Egyptian belief system of life, death and the afterlife.Yet our Bolton Study Day not only looks at the importance of Bolton's Egyptian collection, its unique blend of workshops provides the opportunity to get up close and learn at first hand.The day will consist of two lectures, three hands-on workshops, an a practical demonstration of a mummy re-rolling.The Study Day will conclude with after-hours wine, nibbles and chats with the experts in the Bolton’s Egypt galleries themselves.Agenda🕑: 10:30 AM - 11:00 AMArrival drinks and registrationInfo: Attendees should arrive before 11am and register with the group leader.
