Featured speaker: Dr. Cheryl Ward, Director, Center for Archaeology and Anthropology, Coastal Carolina University.

A magnificent trading vessel, carefully depicted on the wall of an Egyptian temple, embarks on a royal expedition to the mysterious land of Punt. Is this journey mere myth, or was it real? Did the ancient Egyptians have the expertise to embark on a long sea voyage?

Join a team of archaeologists and boat builders as they reconstruct an ancient vessel and launch it into the Red Sea on a unique voyage of discovery.

Cosponsored by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
