'To be ignorant of what took place before you were born is to remain a child forever’ (Cicero). From the epics of Homer and Virgil to the first novels, from Egyptian magic and Greek mythology to the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle and the growth of Christianity, from Egyptian pharaohs and Athenian democracy to the fall of the Roman Empire, the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Greece and Rome are a fundamental source for our modern culture and thought.
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CULTURE MA FT PT The MA Ancient Egyptian Culture emphasises not only the study of the intellectual and material cultures of ancient Egypt, but also its language. Egyptology at Swansea University enjoys an invaluable asset in its purpose-built Egypt Centre, which houses over 3,000 objects from ancient Egypt (as well as Greek and Roman artefacts), the largest collection of this kind in Wales. This impressive and important collection illustrates more than 5,000 years of human development from the prehistoric to the early Christian era and plays an integral role in our teaching.
