The ancient Egyptians created one of the first human
civilizations and it continued for an astonishing 3,000 years before Christ was
born.
Their culture disappeared 2,000 years ago but they left behind stories,
monuments, science, mathematics and a rich artistic tradition which influenced
all Western civilizations.
The temples of Ancient Egypt remain as a constant reminder of the power and glory of the Egyptian state and it's Gods. Each of the major gods had their own cult center with a temple complex as well as the 'state' temples at Luxor and Karnak.
In addition the Pharaohs also built mortuary temples where their bodies were prepared for their eternal rest. Several of these survive at Luxor.
The surviving tombs provide a treasure trove of both objects and Information. The paintings and models included with the burials give a glimpse of the everyday life of the ordinary people and the texts provide invaluable information which helps to build up family trees and to establish the chronology
There is little doubt that the most famous icon
from Ancient Egypt is the funerary mask of Tutankhamun. It is a stunning example
of the Ancient goldsmith's art.
The mask itself is made of solid gold, inlaid with lapis lazuli, cornelian,
quartz, obsidian, turquoise and colored glass.
Perhaps the most impressive piece found in
Tutankhamun's tomb is not the mask, although that is the most well known. The
kings gold inner coffin, shown above, displays a quality of workmanship and an
attention to detail which is unsurpassed.
The coffin is made of solid gold. It is 74" long, 20" wide and
20" high. The king is shown as Osiris holding the crook and flail,
traditional symbols of kingship.
