This lecture explores the 3,000 year history of Egypt, focusing on the development of Hieroglyphics and the lasting influence of Egyptian ideas. 
NOTE: In the lecture I erroneously state that Jean-François Champollion was in Egypt with Napoleon. He did not go to Egypt until a later archaeological expedition. This is what happens when you lecture without notes.

I am a student of language and literature. I have been reading, writing, and studying for most of my life. I received a B.A. in English from Fresno State and then went on to receive an M.A. and Ph.D. in English at Indiana University. I am interested in literature, philosophy, history and gardening. For the last 16 years, I have been a teacher at Peninsula College and, when not working, reading, or writing, spend much of my time in my garden.
