BOOK CLUB: THE MUMMY CASE (H366)

H – Literature

Dover (Wyoming Church) | February 5, 2026-March 5, 2026

Thursday: 9:00 AM-10:15 AM

This is a hybrid course. One section meets on site at the location listed; and one section meets online only.

Amelia Peabody is back! Our intrepid female archeologist returns to Egypt with her irascible husband Emerson and their “catastrophically precocious” 7-year-old son Ramses and finds herself in the middle of a mystery involving pyramids, American missionaries, the Coptic Church, and a plethora of mummy cases. Join us to learn more about the early days of scientific archaeology, mummification practices and customs over time, and Eastern religions.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
