The lecture is organized by the BA Antiquities Museum, and will be delivered by Prof. Stephan Seidlmayer, Director of the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo.

The lecture will discuss Hassawanarti, a small rocky island close to Elephantine, Aswan, with at least 80 potential pharaonic inscriptions to be discovered; by far most of them are still unpublished.
Many of the texts were carved by the highest officials. They provide important information on the administration of the Aswan area in ancient times, and also on the cults and religious festivals of the temples of Elephantine.
