SUSAN WEEKS
Our hearts go out to our Honorary President Dr Kent Weeks and his family, following the tragic news of the accidental death of his wife Susan Weeks at Luxor on the night of December 12, 2009. A distinguished Egyptologist in her own right, Susan Weeks was the Theban Mapping Project’s artist. Her funeral was held at Luxor on December 13.
WHAT IS THE SUSSEX EGYPTOLOGY SOCIETY..?
CELEBRATING MORE THAN 10 YEARS
Formed on the 10th of September 1996, the Sussex Egyptology Society (SES) grew out of an evening study course in Egyptology attended by about 30 enthusiastic amateurs.
Several of the students on that course still serve on the committee of the society, which in the years since has grown into one of the major Egyptology groups in the UK.
A registered charity (No 1060748), the SES runs an outstanding annual programme of monthly lecture meetings, attracting leading Egyptological specialist speakers from the UK and overseas. The Honorary President of the SES is Dr Kent Weeks, director of the Theban Mapping project.
