Title: Walk Like an (Ancient) Egypti
Course Section Number: FRT-101-08
Department: Freshman Tutorial
Description: FACE TO FACE COURSE. FRT-101-08: Walk Like An (Ancient) Egyptian: A Social Science Deep Dive Nicholas Snow teaches economics and Philosophy, Political science and Economics and Wabash College. He enjoys garage rock, reading, playing guitar, and watching movies. The ancient Egyptians were one of the first major civilizations in human history and one of the most stable having consisted in a relatively stable state, with ups and downs, for nearly 3,000 years. Just to give a little perspective, Cleopatra's birth, for one example, was closer to the building of the first Pizza Hut (Wichita Kansas 1958) than to the great pyramids! The Egyptians have left the modern world with a lot to admire and to puzzle over (why did Egypt develop along the Nile?; How were the pyramids built?; etc.)! This tutorial will take an interdisciplinary approach to studying this fascinating culture using tools from economics, political science, philosophy, anthropology, archeology, and other sciences to intriguing questions related to this famous ancient civilization!
