The Return of Egypt on the Potomac

(THE 2PM FIELD TRIP FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 2 IS SOLD OUT)

Spring has returned to the Nation’s Capital. The days are longer, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, and the Egypt on the Potomac Field Trips have resumed.

The Egypt on the Potomac Field Trip is not a tour of Washington, D.C. As its name suggests, it is an educational experience that explores the Ancient Egyptian influences on the design and development of the city. This 3-hour Field Trip reveals and decodes a secret history which has literally been hidden in plain sight. It simultaneously provides participants with a renewed appreciation for ancient and modern history.

The premise of the Egypt on the Potomac Field Trip is simple and thoroughly convincing. It postulates that Washington, D.C. was the first planned capital in the modern era and it rests on a foundation steeped in Ancient Egyptian mythology, philosophy, architecture and symbolism.

The Field Trip has been painstakingly researched by Anthony Browder who has made forty study tours to Egypt. He is the author of numerous books that establish links between Ancient Egypt and contemporary culture. Like a crime scene investigator, Mr. Browder has compiled a mountain of evidence to show that America’s founding fathers have succeeded in their efforts to build Egypt on the Potomac. His case is supported by an informative video presentation, a walk through of Meridian Hill Park, drive bys of historic landmarks, and an exhibit at the IKG Cultural Resource Center.

One leaves the Egypt on the Potomac Field Trip feeling Educated, Enlightened and Empowered. This transformative process is facilitated by the realization that the past isn’t dead — it lives in the present and continually shapes the future. Understanding how to recognize the past in the present, and use this knowledge to plan and build for the future, is a skill seldom taught in schools or other socializing institutions. And yet, this ability lies dormant within us, awaiting the season of light (enlightenment) when it will blossom and bear fruit.

We all can see that spring is a time of renewal. Nature is awakening from the deadening sleep of winter and bringing forth the promise of new life and new opportunities. Can we not also see that which is equally true, that spring is also a time for you to become aware that Egypt is on the Potomac. Your opportunity to become better Educated, Enlightened and Empowered awaits; it is only a phone call or mouse click away.

As James Madison said: “A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power that knowledge gives.” One can surmise from Madison’s statement that the understanding and application of knowledge leads to empowerment. In other words, the more you know the more you’ll grow.

The goal of the IKG Cultural Resource Center is to provide an environment where the historical analysis of Information leads to Knowledge and Growth. This is accomplished through our many lectures, field trips, study tours and publications.
We invite you to participate in this rewarding journey to enlightenment.
