Following the success of the 2008 cycle dedicated to digs and recent  discoveries in Egypt, specifically in prehistory, the “association” (not-for-profit) « Université dans la ville », proposes for the 2009-2010 season a new cycle of conferences along with screenings and dedicated to research and discoveries in the Nile valley. They will host Luc Watrin and concentrate on general Egyptology subjects following a chronology covering the periods in question. Specific aspects will be discussed such as the role of territorial conflicts in building the Egyptian State and Egypt’s relationship with its neighbors.
