The purpose of the colloquium is to engage the scientific community in discussions on the royal foundations known as Temples of Millions of Years, and to fully understand their multifaceted functions. Attention will be drawn to the most recent excavations and studies by researchers and scholars in this specific field, including the latest contributions of modern science and technologies to explore, restore and publicize these monuments.

Ilka Schacht and I will (or I should say I will be presenting it on behalf of the both of us) also be presenting a paper at the conference on the Theban Mapping Project database, but it was added just today so it isn't on the schedule but it will be at the end of the last day and the discussion period will be shortened to accommodate it
