The lecture explores daily life in the workers' village of Deir el-Medina, founded during the 18th Dynasty to house the specialized craftsmen who excavated and decorated the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Through the artifacts preserved at the Museo Egizio in Turin and the results of the Italian Archaeological Mission, the speaker reconstructs the social organization, religious practices, and work of scribes, painters, and stonemasons. Guiding the audience will be Alessandro Girardi, curator of the exhibition "Egypt. On the Trail of the Gods", who will illustrate how excavations at the site have provided an exceptionally detailed picture of this community's life, from dwellings to ostraka with notes and drawings, to evidence of strikes and legal disputes.
