7 - Garden of Eden…
For quite some time, archaeologists have suspected that the ancient Egyptians planted gardens at the entrance of their tombs but had never found concrete evidence. All they had was illustrations on the inside of tomb walls, but a recent discovery has finally yielded the proof they needed. They found a garden on the Dra Abu el-Naga hill in Luxor. It was a 3 x 2-meter garden and Dr Jose Manuel Galán of the Spanish National Research Council believes it’s doing to provide fabulous information about botany and environment conditions from 4,000-years ago!
6 - Beneath the surface…
At one point in time in ancient Egypt, the kings of Kush were in power, but when Aspelta came into power - 593–568 BC, the Kush only ruled their own kingdom but still referred to themselves as the kings of Egypt. Excavations have continued where they were based, which is at Dangeil in Sudan. Archeologists have been spending time inside a temple of the Egyptian god Amun, and they have recently picked up sought after fragments and managed to piece together the face of Aspelta. Thought to be 2,600-years old, Aspelta was said to be “king of Upper and Lower Egypt”. The building where the discovery was made was abandoned, yet other bodies have been found buried there and no one knows where they come from or who those people were.
5 - Try and try again…
This is a great story of try and try again. Roughly 4,600-years ago, King Sneferu of the 4th Dynasty built the very first smooth-sided pyramid. He didn’t get it right first time though and had a rather embarrassing failure with his “bent” pyramid. His first attempt saw the pyramid change from a 54-degree angle at the base to 43-degrees halfway up. King Sneferu’s son succeeded him and it was largely thanks to him the Great Pyramid at Giza was built. Now, just south of all this is the royal cemetery of Dahshur where a new pyramid was recently discovered. This one is from the Middle Kingdom and believed to belong to King Ameni Ka Mauw who ruled during the 13th Dynasty. The pyramid had 10 lines of hieroglyphic text which experts are still busy trying to translate.
4 - It’s all there…
An intact tomb was found at Qubbet el-Hawa, Aswan, which is an area well-known for great finds. 14 tombs of members of the ruling class of the river island of Elephantine were discovered and in March 2017, yet another tomb was uncovered. The occupant is believed to be a brother of Sarenput II, an important governor of the 12th Dynasty. The best part was that the tomb was in such excellent condition and there was a range of funerary goods inside, including some pottery, wooden figures, two cedar coffins and the mummy as well as the mask were all well-preserved.
3 - The search has ended…
Quite a while back, in 1907, two mummies were discovered that ended up causing a lot of frustration for researchers. They were found 250-miles South of Cairo side-by-side and estimated to be 4,000 years old. Named Khnum-Nakht and Nakht-Ankh, they’re thought to be royalty due to their rich tombs. On each coffin was the name Khnum-Aa, a female name that many believe to be their mother. Only recently have scientists been able to confirm this information, and they’ve also managed to figure out that the brothers were half-brothers born 20-years apart.
2 - Ankle Deep…
We’re back in Luxor where 8 mummies were recently found in a tomb. It was April of 2018 when these mummies were found alongside more than 1,000 statues and several coffins inside an ancient noble’s tomb near the Valley of the Kings. What made the discovery a little unusual was that the coffins were beautifully decorated in red, blue, black, green, and yellow… excavations continue.
