- **Event Name**: The Curious Case of Broken Noses on Ancient Egyptian Statue - Authors Talk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 03:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Why deface a statue anyway? And why the nose? Why not the ears or eyes? As well as statues, friezes were defaced too. While the nasal destructions began in the Old Kingdom, they also occurred in the Middle and New Kingdom.

In this talk, Justin explores this strange phenomenon and proposes some remarkable explanations. It will appeal to art lovers, history students, those fascinated by Egypt, or anyone curious about the enigmas of life.

This is the second of three talks about Ancient Egypt to be held in Somerset this spring by local author Justin Newland. An entertaining speaker, he’s given over 70 talks to local societies in and around the South West.

He’s also the author of The Genes of Isis, an epic story set under ancient Egyptian skies, and five other historical fiction novels, with another to be published in July. Justin holds a Ph.D. from Imperial College, London, and lives with his lady in plain sight of the Mendip Hills in Somerset.
