These texts give first-hand insight into what these ancient peoples did, planned, and thought, and we are lucky that the dry sands of Egypt have preserved for us thousands of them, written on papyri and other perishable writing materials, allowing us an unparalleled look into day-to-day life. Papyri preserve the written world of ancient Egypt but also provide glimpses of what the spoken world was like.\r\n\r\nThis exhibit coincides with the conference \u201cOrality and Literacy in the Ancient World X: Tradition, Transmission, and Adaptation\u201d\u009d hosted by the Department of Classical Studies, June 27-30, 2012.\r\n", "occurrence_notes":"", "guid":"9176-1139173@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/9176", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Gallery", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["greek and roman egypt","literacy"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":64, "first_occurrence":1139169 } , "9159-1138983": { "datetime_modified":"20120510T140009", "datetime_start":"20120610T100000", "datetime_end":"20120610T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2012-06-10", "date_end":"2012-06-10", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Flip Your Field: Abstract Art From the Collection", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This is the inaugural exhibition of a new series of exhibitions to be curated by UM faculty.
