King Tut Revealed By A.R. Williams He was just a teenager when he died. Inside King Tut’s subterranean burial chamber, against a backdrop of sacred murals, Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, removes padding to reveal the young pharaoh’s remains. Clues From Top ... Did the young pharaoh die from a blow to the head? As evidence, they cite an x-ray taken in 1968, which shows a fragment of bone in the skull cavity—emptied by embalmers, according to custom. The maturity of the skeleton and wisdom teeth confirms that Tut was about 19 years old when he died. ... to Bottom About five feet six inches tall (1.7 meters) and slightly built, Tut was in excellent health—well fed and free of any disease that would have affected his physique. Tut’s funerary equipment—including chariots, bows, arrows, and throwing sticks —indicates that he had learned to hunt and fight like a proper pharaoh. Splendor of the Inner Sanctum Guide to the Great Beyond In his defense, Carter really had little choice.

Pyramides de Gizeh 3841 tombs and monuments listed. Thanks to 10 years of collected research, Dassault Systèmes was able to reconstruct the Giza Necropolis as accurately as possible. New clues illuminate mysteries of ancient Egyptian portraits WASHINGTON — Scientists are getting a clearer picture of how ancient Egyptians painted lifelike portraits that were buried with mummies of the depicted individuals. These paintings sharply departed from Egyptians’ previous, simpler artworks and were among the first examples of modern Western portraits, archaeologist and materials scientist Marc Walton reported February 14 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The “mummy portraits” date to more than 2,000 years ago, when the Roman Empire controlled Egypt. Three such portraits of Roman-era Egyptians, found more than a century ago at site called Tebtunis, were created by the same artist, said Walton, of Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Many pigments in the portraits probably came from Greece, Walton said. Walton plans to study 12 more Egyptian mummy portraits, as well as paintings of women in pink garb and ones of military gods that have also been found in Egyptian tombs.
La boîte verte Birmingham Virtual Museum During Spring 2013 Birmingham Egyptology discussed the topic of virtual museums at the fortnightly forum. Through this debate it was realised that no clear definition of a ‘virtual museum’ existed and that the digital world could allow those interested in displaying objects to present their findings in new and innovative ways. There were however, no online platforms allowing research to be submitted to a virtual museum. Therefore Birmingham Egyptology decided to create this platform for those people researching objects thereby enabling them to submit their virtual exhibitions. There are only two things needed to create an online exhibition; interpretation and digitization. If you would like the chance to present your research on this platform please email for details (enquiries@birminghamegyptology.co.uk). 3D models are available in pdf format linked to some of the objects presented.
