What is The Sussex Egyptology Society?
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.

Huge thanks again to Sainsbury’s!
 |
The SES Committee would like to express heartfelt thanks to
Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd for sponsoring our “Scoffin’
for the Coffin” event at Worthing on March 18. Sainsbury’s donated 90 hot cross buns, free of charge, for us to sell to members and visitors to raise funds towards our £600 target to help finance the “Who’s the Mummy?” project, which is using advanced imaging techniques to try to put a name to the original owner of a 2,700-year-old coffin lid preserved at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. Thanks, Sainsbury’s! |
