DESCRIPTION:Note: This event has been CANCELLED. We apologize for any 
 inconvenience. The Sed Festival is one of the most frequently depicted
  royal iconographic motifs in the decorative relief programs of ancien
 t Egypt's numerous temples and royal precincts. Upon taking the throne
 \, each Egyptian ruler hoped to celebrate not one\, but many Sed Festi
 vals—both in life and in the perpetually renewed state of existence 
 the ruler hoped to achieve after his death. While previous studies of 
 the Sed Festival have mostly ignored early evidence for the festival p
 rior to the political unification of the Egyptian state at the end of 
 the 4th millennium BCE\, careful analysis of Predynastic and Protodyna
 stic iconography suggests that\, as early as Naqada I\, local Upper Eg
 yptian rulers celebrated rituals that later formed part of the celebra
 tion of the Sed Festival.
