CSI Egypt at Chestnut Hill Library

- Why Go: According to the library website: "Modern crime scene investigation is sometimes very similar to the methods used by archaeologists as they try to gather clues about how ancient people lived. This presentation will look at the famous discovery of King Tut's tomb, as well as the speaker's own field work to demonstrate how careful archaeological detective work slowly builds us a picture of ancient Egypt, often one small clue at a time. The Outreach Lecture Program is funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology."
