- **Event Name**: The Deep Dig: Life and Afterlife in Ancient Thebes
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Mar, 2026 at 11:30 pm – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 am
- **Event Description**: Journey into the heart of the Theban Necropolis in this four-part, virtual course exploring one of ancient Egypt’s most significant and complex burial landscapes, Dra Abu el-Naga.

Through interactive lectures led by two emerging Penn scholars, we’ll explore the historical context of Dra Abu el-Naga, from its richly decorated tombs and the individuals who commissioned them to the material remains uncovered during Penn Museum excavations in the early twentieth century. Along the way, we will consider how memory, identity, and the afterlife were expressed in tomb architecture, imagery, and objects, as well as how later reuse and modern documentation shape what we know today.

Drawing on recent research, excavation records, and archival material, we’ll examine how archaeologists use remains of the past to illuminate the lives, beliefs, and social networks of the people buried in this ancient necropolis.
