Professor Michael Fuller discussing a tomb painting at Beni Hasan, Egypt.
St. Louis Community College students, Professors Michael Fuller
and Neathery Fuller visited the
Egyptian archaeological site of Beni Hasan on 5 March 2001. We visited Tomb No. 2 of
Nomarch Amenemhet during the reign of Senworset I (1971-1926) which shows a fortress
under siege and scenes of wrestlers. We also visited Tomb No. 13 of
Khnumhotep II (which includes the scenes of Abishar, an Asiatic, coming to Egypt).
