About the Event
Join us as we interview our newest Port Ancient Parter: Learn Egyptology!
Jacob Glenister is the creator behind "Learn Egyptology" and a Ph.D. student in Near Eastern Languages and Civilization focused on Egyptology at the University of Pennsylvania. His academic interests within the field are broad and include the Egyptian language family's connections to its neighbors and the society and material culture of Egypt's Predynastic Period. He also works as a tour guide for the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
Learn Egyptology uses lecture-format videos to make Egyptology and especially its more technical aspects easier to understand for the public. The current focus is on the Middle Egyptian language, providing in-depth explanations and examples of the grammar of the notoriously difficult language. As the project continues, it will include videos on other stages of the Egyptian language and aspects of ancient Egypt's history and culture.
