Distinguished researchers in the field of ancient writing systems will deliver five consecutive lectures led by Dr. Mohamed Abd el-Ghany, Professor of Greek and Roman History at the Faculty of Arts, Alexandria University.

The following day, Photographer Dr. Mark Van Stone, a specialist in Mayan scripts, will lead a workshop titled “Write with the Maya glyph” in order to highlight the beauty of the ancient Mayan civilization.
