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

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/ Lots of sun in Egypt, but at night & inside buildings ancient Egyptians relied on oil lamps. Houses had a few small windows in living rooms, other rooms were dark. Also dark in the inner sanctums of temples. This oil lamp on a stand is from tomb of Kha at Deir el-Medina.
3/ Scene from tomb of Pashedu at Deir el-Medina showing oil lamps in clay cups with double wicks. Left held by Udjat-eye & right by Pashedu. They lift lamps to illuminate Osiris sitting between them. twisted flax wicks coated in animal fat & sitting in oil worked like candles

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
