This yearâs annual Dr. Sally Katary Memorial Lecture, a fund-raising event for the Sally L.D. Katary Travel Scholarship will be held on Saturday, May 15 at 1:00 PM. (The suggested donation is $10. )The virtual lecture features presenters Prof. Jean Revez, UniversitĂ© du QuĂ©bec Ă MontrĂ©al (UQAM) and Prof. Peter Brand, University of Memphis. The co-presenters are the directors of the Karnak Great Hypostyle Hall Project. Their title:
âGaining New Perspectives on the Hypostyle Hall at Karnak:
The UniversitĂ© du QuĂ©bec Ă MontrĂ©al (UQAM) â University of Memphis Project at Karnakâ
Since 2011, the project has been recording and studying the complex decoration on the columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall in the Temple of Amen-Re at Karnak. With generous funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the US National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and other agencies, the project has employed photogrammetry and other emerging technologies to enable researchers to gain new insights into the elaborate decorative program and complex epigraphic history of the columns, as well as the virtual reconstruction of fallen columns that are no longer in situ.
With a focus on the most recent work carried out during the past few years both off the field (the production of 2D and 3D sets of data of the columns) and on site in Egypt (the ongoing study of the original state of the Hall before its partial collapse at the end of the 19th Century), the presenters will spell out the main objectives of their undertaking, the means by which they wish to attain them and the major results achieved so far.
Previously the Katary Lecture has been held in the fall, but this year it will be held on Saturday, May 15 at 1 PM EDT to allow it the attention it deserves. Registration for the Zoom event will be via Eventbrite, and tickets are by donation. Sign up at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/dr-sally-katary-memorial-lecture-tickets-145720330431
