This important new study looks at the intersection of Greek and Egyptian art forms in the funerary sphere of Roman Egypt. A discussion of artistic change, cultural identity, and religious belief foregrounds the detailed analysis of more than objects and tombs, many of which are presented here for the first time. In addition to the information it provides about individual works of art, supported by catalogue entries, the study explores fundamental questions such as how artists combine the iconographies and representational forms of different visual traditions, and why two distinct visual traditions were employed in Roman Egypt.
Accompany two archaeologists as they discover the tomb of the boy king, Tutankhamun, and all the exquisite jewellery and treasures uncovered inside it. Learn all about his life and death from coming to power at the tender age of nine to the different aspects of his burial nine years later.
It investigates medical, legal and religious aspects of women's reproduction, using both historical and archaeological sources, and shows how the social status of women and new-born children changed from the Dynastic to the Greco-Roman period.
Through a comparative and interdisciplinary study of the historical sources, papyri, artefacts and archaeological evidence, Becoming a Woman and Mother in Greco-Roman Egypt shows how Greek, Roman, Jewish and Near Eastern cultures impacted on the social perception of female puberty, childbirth and menstruation in Greco-Roman Egypt from the 3rd century B.
Author Jarda Cervenka discovers that reality is often stranger than fiction while living and traveling in East and West Africa.

In another tale, a Californian professor with malformed feet travels to a deep jungle to learn how to construct orthopedic shoes, which change his life.

The astonishing discovery of the Valley of the Golden Mummies in Bahariya Oasis, deep in the Western Desert of Egypt, is considered perhaps the most spectacular Egyptian archeological discovery since that of Tutankhamun's tomb.
This vast site was uncovered by accident, when a donkey stumbled into the opening of one of the many underground tombs of a 2,year-old cemetery believed to cover approximately two square miles. Never before have so many mummies been discovered at a single site: multi-chambered tombs dating from the Roman period in Egypt held rows of mummies, many adorned with gilded masks and painted cases, others wrapped in linen.
Whole families were found placed together. Jewelry, pottery, amulets, and other artifacts were also uncovered, and it is estimated that as many as 10, mummies may ultimately be uncovered from the site, which has escaped plunderers and is thus remarkably intact.
Featuring some color illustrations, most of which have never before been published, this exciting book reveals the lives, customs, and religious beliefs of this until now little-known community.
As such, it will both fascinate and enthrall all those with an interest in the ancient history of Egypt. Author : P.

Harrison, Michael Heltzer, John S. Holladay Jr. I was aborded in a train, not able to enjoy the aloneness. Then, a stunning girl entered into my train compartment.
As she entered inside, my body vibrated. She was one of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Later, we recognised that we are long time Instagram friends. This can be traced back to a group of masks that transformed the head of the mummy into a ba-bird, the tiny human head being melded into the body and wings of a bird e. A further example, from Beni Hasan tomb , datable by pottery to the late Second Intermediate Period to the early Eighteenth Dynasty ibid.
In the case of coffins, a particularly instructive piece is British Museum EA , where the uncomprehending artisan has overlaid the mummy-strap motif first found on Middle Kingdom anthropoid coffins over the rishi pattern — thus rendering the ba earth- bound, its wings strapped to its sides!
While the wings seen on some later masks see below and coffins may belong to additional protective beings e. British Museum EA A. KAPER eds.

A glance at the brow shows that, rather than being part of a bird, the face is actually surmounted by a green-blue, yellow-striped, tripartite wig.
Its tail is draped down the back of the wig, the legs and talons splayed on either side of the occiput. As such it follows the pattern of royal statues with protective falcons behind their heads, such as the famous figure of Kha- efre Cairo CG Indeed, the mask is exceptionally well protected by divine figures. On the rear, below the wig, is a goddess with outstretched wings; unfortu- nately she bears no identifying insignia, but is presumably one of the tutelary goddesses par excellence, Isis and Nephthys.
Not only this, but also the interior of the mask has a similar pair of goddesses protecting 11 V. The mask had otherwise only been included in C.
