Wisdom and Philosophy in Egypt: A Journey through Ancient Worldview

Philosophical Journey through Ancient Egypt

How did people over 4000 years ago think about a good life, moral action, and the order of the world? This special tandem tour at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim combines Egyptological expertise with classical antiquity studies and invites you on a mental journey from the third millennium BC to Roman times.

Wisdom Between the Nile, Mediterranean, and Rome

The Egyptologist and philosopher Oliver Gauert and classicist Josefine Neidhardt present central concepts of ancient wisdom and philosophical history. The focus is on the intellectual developments in Egypt and the interactions with Mediterranean cultures. The tour makes visible how ideas about ethics, responsibility, and human action have been passed down, changed, and reinterpreted over centuries.

A Tour as a Philosophical Dialogue

The 90-minute event is more than just a classic museum tour. It is conceived as a philosophical dialogue, where participants are explicitly invited to engage actively. Connections to questions that also shape the present arise between historical objects and the themes of the new Egypt permanent exhibition.

Egyptian Collection as Cultural Heritage

The Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum is one of the internationally recognized institutions for ancient Egyptian culture. The collection provides insights into around 4000 years of Egyptian history and opens a vivid access to religion, daily life, writing culture, and worldview. The tour connects these testimonies with historical developments in Greece and Rome and showcases Egypt's cultural heritage as part of a closely intertwined Mediterranean history.

Discovery Experience for History and Thought Enthusiasts

Anyone interested in local history, archaeology, ancient philosophy, and intercultural relations will experience an extraordinary city and museum tour. The atmosphere of the exhibition rooms, the proximity to original evidence, and the expert dialogue create a cultural enrichment for curious visitors.

The audience can expect an informative journey through time, surprising historical contexts, and the opportunity to contribute their thoughts. Secure your place for this special tour at the RPM Museum Hildesheim and discover how contemporary the great questions of humanity were thousands of years ago.
