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/ 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.

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
