Exploring the Misappropriation of Ancient Egyptian Innovations via Livestream
Unveiling Egypt's Stolen Legacy: A Livestream Lecture
On October 4, 2025, Nile University (NU), Egypt's first national, non-profit university committed to excellence in technology and business education, will host a pivotal lecture by its Founding President, Prof. Tarek Khalil.
The lecture, titled "Stolen Legacy: The Egregious Misappropriation of the Achievements of Ancient Egyptians," aims to address how historical narratives have shaped perceptions of Egyptian innovations, often crediting them to other cultures while overlooking the monumental contributions of ancient Egypt. Scheduled for 6:00 PM (GMT+3), attendees can join in-person or access the lecture via livestream on YouTube.
A Closer Look at Historical Narratives
Prof. Khalil is set to explore how the stories surrounding the 'discovery' of various technologies and innovations have frequently been misrepresented throughout history. He emphasizes that ancient Egypt has not only been the birthplace of significant advancements but that its profound legacy has often been overshadowed or misattributed.
As a pivotal figure in the International Association on Management of Technology (IAMOT), Khalil's expertise in technology management is paired with a compelling narrative that seeks to reclaim Egypt's status as a cradle of civilization. Khalil expressed, "Egypt's rich intellectual heritage has too often been diminished or wrongly credited elsewhere. This lecture seeks to challenge those misconceptions and remind us that Egypt's legacy is not only foundational to human progress but also a continuing source of inspiration for the future."
