Victory's Museum Trip II - The Museo Egizio of Turin XI
(Stone carving piece of False door stela)
Today we continue to see the artifacts and history of the Old Kingdom period. I would like share with you some small daily necessities from a provincial burial, which was located in the Gebelein.
A provincial burial
In my previous posts, I talked many time one place name , which is Gebelein, it lies on the west bank of the Nile 30 km south of present day Luxor, is an interesting peripheral location, which ,however, housed the remains of an important provincial town. Among the many tombs found here, mainly thanks to the assistance and advice of one of Schiaparelli's most valuable collaborators, the Egyptian Bolos Ghattas - was a large Old Kingdom mastaba found in here. Ernesto Schiaparelli was an Italian Egyptologist (He was appointed director of the Egyptian Museum in Florence, where he professionally reorganized the collection in new quarters in 1880, then at the peak of his career was made director of the Museo Egizio di Torino, which became with him and his many seasons of excavating, the second biggest Egyptian museum in the world -- From wikipedia). The objects recovered here, although some were devastated by termites, offer a unique opportunity to study a burial assemblage of fairly high-ranking individual who lived far away from the court about 4400 years ago. I would like show some daily necessities from this large Old Kingdom mastaba possible built for a nobleman called Perim.
Small wooden casket (2435 - 2305 BC)
Armlet and wooden box and calcite vessels originally kept inside (2435 - 2305 BC)
Shell, small jar, bowl and box (2435 -2305 BC)
Coffin
This one is same as above antiques, they are from different tombs. Among the tombs discovered in 1911, one is particularly interesting for its especially rare grave goods. In a decorated rectangular chest similar to that of Perim, graced with a 'palace-facade' motif, was a bundle of bandages. Non-destructive tests have shown that it contains a body in very contracted position and a headrest of the double-column type. [//]:# (!steemitworldmap 45.0684296 lat 7.6843041 long ME11 d3scr)
In the next post, we will continue to see the valuable works of art in Old Kingdom period. I am not the researcher of history or archaeology. Just want to share with you some beautiful antiquities. If I made some critical errors in my post, please feel free to help me correct them, thank you very much.

Enjoy this map of the Nile region within Egypt from 1745 by Jean Covens & Corneille Mortier.
The map shows the delineation of the Nile River from just south of Aswan to the Mediterranean. Loads of information is depicted including the locations of cities and towns (marked in red), smaller villages, ancient towns, pyramids, ruins, monasteries, temples, and sanctuaries. Five inserts show the Nile delta according to Herodotus, Strabo, Diodorus, Pliny and Ptolemy. Just below, is an extensive panel of text regarding the geography of Egypt and an index key.

Really enjoy this map!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your information.
其实每次看博物馆 都有种感觉 英国和欧洲的往事曾经用的都好普通啊。。 看看阿拉故宫。。。😄
嗯，最多就是金银器，欧洲的各种宫也就那样，跟故宫肯定没法比。不过这个埃及的我还没看到近代的。。。这是4000多年前的。 中国4000多年前的时候，等我回家的时候去洛阳博物馆看看4000多年我们祖先用的什么东东。。。。。
最近看国家宝藏 感觉祖国的博物馆都好厉害 以前都没注意😄
嗯嗯嗯，这个节目真的好！
