Tutankhamun puts the boy king's short life into context by describing and explaining the complexities of life in Ancient Egypt. The stories that have since grown up around the discovery of the tomb and of the boy king who lay undisturbed for over 3,000 years have become legendary and continue to fire imaginations around the world.
This book explores Tutankhamun's background and the Pharaoh's role, highlighting Egypt's allure for the West. It features photographs, drawings, and diagrams from the original expedition to evoke the excitement and wonder experienced by Carter and Carnarvon when discovering the tomb.
This publication explains some of the fundamental rules of the hieroglyphic script and Egyptian language using illustrated examples from the Ashmolean's notable Egyptian collection.
Cat fanciers who consider their pets majestic have history on their side: felines were domesticated in ancient Egypt around 2000 B.C. while their European cousins still ran wild. Over the centuries they gained an exalted position in royal society--revered as an incarnation of a goddess, modeled in bronze statuettes, and even mummified and buried with their owners. Yet cats also won commoners' respect for their humble origins and protective instincts, earning them a prominent place in the personal religion of ordinary people. Egypt scholar Jaromir Malek has called on a variety of artistic and written sources to tell how the cat became one of the most widely esteemed animals in that ancient society. He shows how we can date the domestication of cats from their depiction in art--first from the tomb of Baket III, in which a cat is shown confronting a field rat; then increasingly in images where cats are seen under the chairs of wives, a depiction that complements the long-established motif of dogs situated beneath the husbands' chair. Malek's book includes more than a hundred illustrations--many in full color--that show how cats came to be widely represented in tomb paintings, sculpture, papyri, jewelry, ostraka, and sarcophagi. Throughout the text, he provides sufficient information on ancient Egyptian religion, society, and art to help general readers understand how the cat achieved its place of honor. Today cats can be seen throughout Egypt, wandering in bazaars or asleep in shaded courtyards, evidence of an enduring relationship with humans that this book warmly captures. The Cat in Ancient Egypt is an informative and entertaining work that will delight cat lovers and history buffs alike.
Explaining Tutankhamun's background and the role of the Pharaoh, this book shows how Egypt became a source of fascination for those in the West. It aims to bring to life the excitement and wonderment that Carter and Carnarvon must have felt upon opening the tomb.
Tato kniha pojednává zcela novým způsobem o starém tématu - starověkém Egyptě. Dosud nikdy nebylo toto téma představeno formou kulturního atlasu, jenž přináší nejen mnoho historických a topografických map, ale také erudovaný text, ve kterém se dvěma významným egyptologům podařilo obsáhnout kulturu - chápanou v širokém smyslu - této staré civilizace.
Poklady skryté v hrobkách faraonů se po staletí snažili nalézt lupiči i archeologové. A pak, 26. listopadu 1922, objevili Howard Carter a lord Carnarvon hrob krále Tutanchamona. Svět byl nadšen – nikdy předtím nebyla objevena hrobka v tak dokonalém stavu, která by ukrývala tak nesmírné bohatství pohřební výbavy. Kniha Poklad krále Tutanchamona přibližuje krátké panování tohoto faraona v kontextu života ve starověkém Egyptě. Představuje práci dřívějších egyptologů a zejména na základě osobního archivu samotného Howarda Cartera podrobně osvětluje průběh slavné expedice vedoucí k objevu Tutanchamonovy hrobky. Kniha je bohatě ilustrovaná a obsahuje přes 30 vyjímatelných faksimilií vzácných dobových dokumentů, většinou dosud nepublikovaných.
