Description

Since they have been rediscovered by the Western world, the Pyramids of Giza have been the subject of endless discussion and theories. They are silent witnessess of a mysterious civilization we have not yet able to decipher, despite years of research. To this day, we do not yet fully understand how they built the pyramids, and more importantly why. In this talk we are going to try and penetrate the mind of the Ancient Egyptians, to understand the pyramids and the message they still hold for us after thousands of years. The talk will be accompanied by relevant images and an exploration of the great pyramid itself. Speaker: Gilad Sommer, philosopher and writer, director of New Acropolis Chicago, founder of the Israeli Tristan Institute of performing arts, his book "Above All, Be Good - the Story of the Stoics and their teachings," was published in 2019.
