Global Speed: Egypt with Dr. Kara Cooney

Global Speed is a community lecture series featuring international figures in the art world, to entertain and inform on global art topics

Lecture Topic: The Women Who Ruled the World

Almost no evidence of successful, long-term female leaders exists from the ancient world – in the Mediterranean, Near East, Africa, Central Asia, or East Asia. Only the female king of Egypt, Hatshepsut, was able to take on formal power for any considerable length of time, and even she had to share power with a male ruler. Given this social reality, how then did Hatshepsut apply her political genius and negotiate her leadership role? This lecture will work through the ample evidence for Hatshepsut’s reign in an attempt to find the woman behind the statues, monuments, stelae, and obelisks.

A UCLA professor, Kara Cooney, who is a self-described “Egyptologist” included a passage in a book she authored claiming Kyle Rittenhouse shot two black men, totally wrong on something EASILY checked. How does she have ANY credibility for things thousands of years ago?

She is an Egyptologist yet can’t get the most basic facts correct about one of the biggest legal cases in the society she currently lives in. How can anyone take her seriously? No wonder Americans are losing faith in the institutions of education. It seems that the institutions have far too much faith in themselves…
