Topics discussed on the Roundtable Discussion:

Egypt Exhibition displaying historical pictures of well known Egyptian locations and figures from the past. All the photos dated from the first half of the 20th century. What is clear in the collection at the exhibition was that most of the pictures showed a great degree of westernization.
