Ancient Egypt and Us

Professor Adrian Kerr, a resident of Southwest Florida, has spent more than 30 years regularly visiting Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Iraq and Israel to study the ancient civilizations of the Middle East.

His recently published book, “Ancient Egypt and Us,” outlines the impact of ancient Egypt on the modern world. Modern religion, art, architecture, cosmetics, medicine, warfare, peace treaties, government, math, and women’s empowerment all have their roots in ancient Egypt.

The funds generated from the sale of this book provide financial support for a group of permanent University of Chicago Egyptologists, who record and restore hieroglyphic texts and reliefs that are threatened by the rising water levels in the areas surrounding the Ancient Egyptian temples.
