SUMMARY:A Monumental Egyptian Tomb In Melbourne
DESCRIPTION:Hidden within a suburban Melbourne cemetery lies a remarkable piece of Egyptian-inspired architecture: the tomb of David Syme\, one of the world’s first media tycoons and the influential proprietor of The Age newspaper. Built in 1910—12 years before the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb—this heritage-listed mausoleum is a miniature replica of Trajan’s Kiosk on Philae Island in Egypt. Designed by renowned architects Walter Richmond Butler and Royston Bradshaw\, and adorned with copper fittings crafted by artist Mabel Young\, the tomb is a masterpiece of Arts and Crafts design. \nIn this captivating talk\, artist-turned-researcher Setken delves into the fascinating history of the Syme tomb\, uncovering its architectural brilliance\, cultural significance\, and the mysterious stories surrounding its creation. From the influence of Egyptology and Theosophy to the role of the Victorian Spiritualist Union and Syme’s connection with Prime Minister Alfred Deakin\, Setken reveals how this extraordinary monument reflects Melbourne’s lost history. The presentation also highlights the urgent need for restoration and addresses the curious case of misattributed authorship that nearly erased Butler and Bradshaw’s legacy. \nFeaturing unpublished research\, stunning visuals\, and compelling storytelling\, this talk is a journey into Melbourne’s hidden past and the life of a complex man whose tomb stands as a testament to an era of spiritual exploration and artistic innovation.
