2/ When Carter removed the 2nd gilded wooden coffin from the first he was puzzled by the weight. Opening the 2nd coffin he was astounded to find the 3rd coffin was of solid gold!
3/ This incredible object is among the heaviest gold objects in the world weighing 243 lbs (110 kilograms" of pure yellow gold. #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte #Egipto #Egito #Αίγυπτος #Ägypten #مصر

2/ Only 8 complete chariots, & 1 chariot cab, have survived from the Late Bronze age among several civilizations that had them. All these come from 18th Dynasty Egypt, 6 of them from Tutankhamun's tomb
3/ 4 of the chariots had wood frames and cloth or leather sidings which did not survive. They had minimal gilding. #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte #Egipto #Egito #Αίγυπτος #Ägypten #מִצְרַיִם #Egitto #エジプト #이집트 #مصر

2/ Tutankhamun's mummy was protected with elaborate sets of broad collars of gold foil & inlaid gold, shaped like falcons, vultures, & cobras.
3/ We looked at the gold foil examples early in the countdown. Today the more elaborate inaid collars #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt

1/ Today a double post for my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown. I had to miss yesterday. First off, the 3 large funerary beds shaped like animal gods. ****. #Egypt #Archaeology #Tutankhamun #history #Archaeology #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #توتعنخآمون
2/ The three tall "funerary beds" also called "funerary couches." They were made for the afterlife, not life. They are very tall, & would have been impractical for daily use #ancient #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카
3/ Most Egyptian beds were quite short like several from Tutankhamun's tomb we covered earlier in the countdown such as this fine example covered with heavy sheet gold. #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte
1/ T-20 of my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown: Today King on a leopard. #Egypt #Archaeology #Tutankhamun #history #Archaeology #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #توتعنخآمون #ancient #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카
2/ A pair of gilded wood statues of Tutankhamun on the back of a leopard were found in the treasury chamber enclosed in a shrine & wrapped in linen.
3/ These leopard statues were traditional tomb equipment for New Kingdom pharaohs. Tutankhamun's are the most beautiful and complete examples ever found.
1/ T-21 of my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown: Today a gold statuette. #Egypt #Archaeology #Tutankhamun #history #Archaeology #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #توتعنخآمون #ancient #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카
2/ This solid gold statuette of Tutankhamun shows him as a child-king holding the crook & flail scepters. #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt

1/ T-30 of my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown: Today faience vessels. #Egypt #Archaeology #Tutankhamun #history #Archaeology #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #توتعنخآمون #ancient #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카
2/ Egyptian faience was a kind of glazed pottery, often in a range of blue & blue-green shades. The shiny surface was even compared favorably to gold. Dozens of faience objects were found in Tutankhamun's tomb including ritual vessels.
3/ Ritual vessels were used to pour libations of water & wine. Two common shapes were the tall, slender "Hes-vase" & the squat "Nemset-jar". Both vessels can appear with or without a spout. Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt

2/ Ancient Egyptians used headrests instead of pillows on their beds. Tutankhamun took several of them to the Underworld, which we covered earlier. #Archaeology #archaeohistories #Archäologie #archéologie #考古学 #考古学 #考古學 #arqueología #archeologia #archeologie #αρχαιολογία

1/ It's day T-93 of Tutankhamun 100 day countdown celebrating 100 years since discovery of his tomb. Today its Box Day! #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #Tut #Tut100 #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카 توت عنخ آمون#
2/ Not Boxing day (Dec 26) for those in UK & Canada, but boxes, chests, & caskets from Tutankhamun's tomb. Egyptians didn't have wardrobes & dressers. Elite stored their stuff in boxes. Carter found dozens of wood boxes in the tomb from plain to lavish.
1/ Tutankhamun 100 day countdown T-94. Today, moon gods & lunar symbolism. #Egypt #Archaeology #History #Tutankhamun #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #エジプト #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #Tut #Tut100 #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #투탕카 توت عنخ آمون#
2/ The moon was just as meaningful as the sun to Ancient Egyptians. Thoth and Khonsu were both lunar deities. Khonsu was the eternally youthful god reborn monthly through lunar cycle. This statue from Karnak Temple depicts Tutankhamun as Khonsu. #Eygpt #Mythology #Archaeology
3/ Thoth, god of Wisdon & writing was also a lunar god. His sacred animals were the Ibis & Baboon

These views never seize to amaze! 👀The Giza pyramid complex (Giza necropolis) أهرامات الجيزة is the site on the Giza Plateau in Greater #Cairo, Egypt that includes the Great #Pyramid of #Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, & the Pyramid of Menkaure, & the Great #Sphinx #Archaeology
Abu Simbel أبو سمبل are 2 massive temples cut in sandstone along a cliff in #Egypt. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nubian Monuments. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 on an artificial hill. #Archaeology #history #ancientEgypt
Have you ever heard of the “Orion Correlation Theory”? It’s the correlation between the location of the 3 largest pyramids & Orion's Belt of the constellation Orion, & that this correlation was intended as such by the original builders of the #Giza #pyramid complex. #Archaeology
The Orion correlation theory was put forward by Robert Bauval, & the theory was first published in 1989 in Discussions in Egyptology, volume 13. It was the subject of a bestseller, The Orion Mystery, in 1994. Source: arxiv.org/pdf/1109.6266.…
The evidence shows patterns of stars that is frozen on the ground at Giza in the form of the 3 pyramids & the Sphinx represents the disposition of the constellations of Orion and Leo as they looked at the moment of sunrise on the spring equinox during the astronomical age of Leo.
Antirhodos was an island in the eastern harbor of Alexandria, #Egypt, on which a Ptolemaic palace was sited. The island was occupied until the reigns of Septimius Severus & Caracalla & it probably sank in the 4th century, when it succumbed to earthquakes & a tsunami #Archaeology
There was said to be an earthquake in the eastern Mediterranean near Crete in the year 365. The site now lies underwater, near the seafront of modern Alexandria, at a depth of approximately five metres (16 ft).
The jewel of the island is, of course, Cleopatra’s now-underwater palace which lies submerged five meters or 16 feet underwater. It is only ironic that, like the site itself, Cleopatra’s final resting place is waiting to be discovered.
When thinking about #slots, one of the very first themes that many will immediately associate with this style of game is #AncientEgypt This theme has become a staple within the industry,
squareblogs.net/agentaruhanslo… with a number of the biggest developers having used it to help them as a source of inspiration to create some of the best titles possible. With golden colors, a number of different gods and goddesses, pyramids and other identifiable features,
deviantart.com/camfortner/jou… it is clear why so many developers utilize it. Play’n GO’s Book of Gold is just one prime example of this particular theme being highly popular around the world, as this title has become one of the most iconic within the industry
Thread: This is the area where the Temple of Amenhotep, Son of Hapu, and 4 more lay. In Oct 2020 we saw archaeological work done in the area. I was interested in the outer rear of the temple, so we immediately went there #egyptology #archaeology #ancientEgypt #Luxor #excavations
The most interesting feature about this whole area, including the Temple of Ay and Horemheb, are the domestic structures from the time of Amenhotep III discovered by Robichon&Varille (ASHapu)+Hölscher (Ay-H.), cited after by Lacovara #Egyptology #Archaeology #Luxor #Egypt
We can see that structures in situ with my #GoogleEarth composition and the excavated area in the map along with my shot in October 2020 #Egyptology #Archaeology #Luxor #Egypt #ancientegypt
1)🦄 Let’s talk about unicorns. What is the real symbolism of them that we see in 👑British royalty? 🇨🇦 has them all over gvmt buildings. Scotland, home of the Freemasons love🦄. Did you know that the Bible version of the 🦄 is really a bull? Stay with me, it gets interesting. 🦄
2)The unicorn is symbolic of Horus also known as Christ or the sun god. He was the son of Isis & Osiris. He is said to be born on December 25th.The occult refers to him as Christ. He is depicted in the constellations. DUMBs are based on constellations worldwide. Making sense now?
3)Remember when the unicorn was knocked off of Buckingham Palace last fall? That is very symbolic. Now when you see the unicorn, you know it represents Horus as in Eye of Horus & the all seeing eye. This ties into the #SerpentSeed & seeds of Cain as well.
The impressive, around 3,500 year old, unfinished obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, which, had it not cracked, would have been the largest monolithic (built from a single piece of stone) obelisk on earth.
41.75 meters long and would have weighed 1168 tons #ancientegypt
41.75 meters long and would have weighed 1168 tons #ancientegypt
The work was discontinued when cracks in the rock convinced the engineers that the obelisk could not be extracted unbroken.
The exact date of the obelisk is not known, but it is assumed to be the Thutmoside period.

Recently I was a victim of the old-school out-dated idea that Egyptian Archaeology is not Egyptology. I was pinned as just a ceramics specialist, and worse still… a Nubian ceramics specialist. Apparently that's not Egyptology, but let's clear things up.
My work is about Egypto-Nubian relations, two cultures that are inextricably intertwined. Specifically I focus on the Nubians who lived and died in EGYPT, and how their identities changed as a result of contact with EGYPT & in turn how their presence impacted Egyptian society
One finds some astonishing remains of the 2-5 millenia old #AncientEgypt civilisation at the #EgyptianMuseum. Some exhibits are in unbelievable state of preservation with original colours and carvings. Egyptologists have tried to piece together... (1/5)
the stories of pharaonic dynasties, their rulers, priests, subjects, society, palace intrigues, royal relationships, gods and goddesses. The picture that emerges is of a civilisation that the world has yet to surpass in sophistication in many aspects. (2/5)
