jmccr8 Posted February 20, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This link is about an exact replica of King Tut's tomb,the use of a lot of new tech was involved in producing this replica and the pictures are quite inspiring.This replica is a gift to Egypt. http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/11/2012/an-exact-replica-of-the-tomb-of-tutankhamun-a-gift-to-egypt jmccr8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted March 6, 2014 Author #77 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi, I came across this article about meteorite iron that had been worked into beads worn on a necklace dating to 5ybp.This shows already a fairly sophisticated level of metal works . http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/08/2013/ancient-egyptian-beads-made-from-meteorites jmccr8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted March 6, 2014 Author #78 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I am going to add this link about some burials with several caskets,it's quite interesting and does describe the tradition and meaning of some funeral practices. http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/08/2013/one-mummy-many-coffins jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted June 17, 2014 Author #79 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, It's been a while since I have added any links to this thread and will add a few today.Rather than posting them separately I am posting them together to save time.The first link shows that not everyone lived well in ancient Egypt as attested to by the condition of the skeletal evidence. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/03/130313-ancient-egypt-akhenaten-amarna-cemetery-archaeology-science-world/ The following link is about a tomb containing several members of royal families from the 18th dynasty including princesses and princes. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/05/140501-mummy-royal-tut-discovery-egypt-science/ This last link is about an artifact trove that pre-date pharonic Egypt at Hierakonpolis. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/05/140530-egypt-archaeology-pharaohs-hierakonpolis-tomb/ jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted June 17, 2014 Author #80 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I realize that this is not related to Egyptian history but rather than starting another thread decided to add it here,this article is suggesting that the hanging gardens of Babylon were actually located at Nineveh. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/13/130531-babylon-hanging-gardens-nineveh-seven-wonders/ jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccr8 Posted June 18, 2014 Author #82 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi Scorpiosonic, I am not at my computer right now so I can't do a search right now.If I recall correctly there was some previous discussion in another thread about early ironwork.If I recall correctly it was in Questionmarks thread "Look Mama No Saw",during a discussion that was going on about types of metal alloys and mining or supply of ore materials from for the production of tools to work stone.I will look through my links and see if there is something that I can find. I have a link about a Budda with a swaztika that was carved from a meteor although that is not the same as processing metal from the rock. jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predynastic period has been somewhat ignored, but so much could be learned from this period.

According to H. Carter he was encased in 3 coffins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted June 18, 2014 Author #85 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi Scorpiosonic,, When I came across the article it was the first the first time that I had heard of this practice and was not aware of the conflicting statements between Bettum and H.Carter,I should look into it. I started this thread because most of what goes on in the forum about Egypt is about the pyramids and many other aspects of this culture are left at the wayside and there area several threads that may have gotten some light interest or reaction and faded away.My feeling is to have one thread that can be expanded on over time so that a body of information can be kept together to give a more comprehensive view of a subject.In the threads that I am active in I employ the same methodology although I only post a small percentage of the information that I save to my files because I do not want to overwhelm those that follow the same threads with a redundancy of information. I had a quick look for more about early meteoric metalworking in my files and have so far only one other that is about the same beads,mind you some of my files are quite disorganized and I am still working on sorting through and placing them in designated files .When I started I really didn't realize how my interest would grow in several subjects and by the time that I started posting links in threads it was already chaos jmccr8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiosonic Posted June 19, 2014 #86 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It seems that the higher-ranking tombs, etc. receive more interest. I can relate to the filing problems, but one of the advantages of a good UM thread is that a large amount of relevant info is readily available in one place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiosonic Posted June 19, 2014 #87 Share Posted June 19, 2014 To follow up on Tut: The 3 coffins were interred in a granite sarcophagus, and this fact is well-documented. One good book of many on this subject is "Discovering Tut-ankh-Amen's Tomb" Edited by Shirley Glubok, w/ material culled from "The Tomb Of Tut-ankh-Amem" by H. Carter and A.C.

kmt_sesh Posted June 19, 2014 #88 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Three nested coffins (innermost solid gold, outer two gilded wood), quartzite sarcophagus, and three nested gilded-wood shrines on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiosonic Posted June 19, 2014 #89 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My bad, just the lid of the sarcophagus is made of granite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted June 20, 2014 #90 Share Posted June 20, 2014 My bad, just the lid of the sarcophagus is made of granite. It's an odd arrangement for a royal so an easy source of confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
