Ramadan Hussein will be taking part in a relaxed Q + A with a focus on religious texts (I'm especially looking forward to learning about the serpent spells) concepts of the afterlife and Ramadan's recent discoveries of the mummification workshop and Saite (26th Dynasty) tombs at Saqqara.

From the spells or 'utterances' of the famous Pyramid Texts belonging to Unas of the Old Kingdom, to Djoser's stepped pyramid and Ramadan's team's recent discovery of a funeral parlour and one-stop-mummification shop, Saqqara offers a rich and fascinating insight into life and death in Ancient Egypt throughout the ages.

The shifting sands of Saqqara continue to reveal new secrets and as director of the Saqqara Saite Tombs Project, Ramadan is uniquely placed to answer your questions on the subject.
