A trip to Egypt is an experience not to be missed ……. But a trip to Egypt led by Professor Bob Brier is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Also known as Mr. Mummy, Bob is an Egyptologist and Senior Research Fellow at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University. He has researched and published on mummies and the mummification process, and has appeared in many Discovery Channel and Learning Channel documentaries. He is a featured lecturer on The Teaching Company (www.teach12.com), and has served as Director of the National Endowment for the Humanities’ “Egyptology Today” program.
Besides being one of the foremost Egyptologists in the world, Bob’s wit and teaching skills makes him one of Far Horizons’ most popular study leaders. He is a wonderful teacher with a special flair for evoking the distant past in ways that make it seem vividly present.
