Hoy, este conjunto es custodiado por el Museo Egipcio de El Cairo y es considerado una de las mayores joyas de la humanidad. 🏛️ Este hallazgo, realizado por Howard Carter en 1922, sigue siendo la ventana más clara que tenemos para entender cómo los egipcios desafiaban a la muerte.

The Moment Carter Opens The Shrine, 1924, Egypt
Context: Howard Carter discovered the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb on 4 November 1922 after years of searching in the Valley of the Kings. Clearing the stairway revealed sealed doorways that had miraculously kept the burial largely safe from looters. On 26 November he looked inside and saw a room filled with untouched treasures. It became the first nearly intact royal tomb ever found and ignited global fascination with ancient Egypt.

On this day in 1925, the last of three coffins was opened to reveal the mummy and golden mask of King Tut; its first time being seen in 3,250 years.
Made of 18k to 23k gold, it weighs 23 pounds and is over 21 inches long (54 centimetres, 2 kilograms). The god depicted is Osiris but the face is Tut's. His eyes are lapis, quartz, and obidian (pupils).

I'm convinced that the widow in question who wrote to #Suppiluliuma was #Tutankhamun's wife #Ankhesenamun who - after his sudden death at just 18 - was shortly married to his old religious consultant and successor Ay but then refused to marry his next successor #Horemheb. she had known him for many years as the military leader and diplomat under her late husband Tut and knew about his common origin. "I would not wish to take one of my subjects as a husband... I am afraid."

Cairo, Egypt’s sprawling capital, is set on the Nile River. At its heart is Tahrir Square and the vast Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities including royal mummies and gilded King Tutankhamun artifacts. Nearby, Giza is the site of the iconic pyramids and Great Sphinx, dating to the 26th century BC.

It's not often that you see Delia Derbyshire personally credited by the BBC but this excellent short series of documentaries narrated by Eric Porter made to coincide with the British Museum's 1972 Tutankhamun exhibition is one of the exceptions.

The ancient Egyptians didn't know about the dangers of inbreeding, but King Tut paid the price. He had a number of congenital defects including a cleft palate, a club foot and buck teeth. Despite probably being slightly disabled, artwork and other artefacts found in his tomb suggest King Tut was an avid hunter, charioteer and a skilled archer.

It's 100 years since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb ...
= the endless boy =
under lapis skies
kohl eyed maidens dance
insinuating joy
sheer gauze and lotus blossom
poised to never fall
a summer cast in stonegolden masked
the boy king rises
swathed in falcon wings
to endless polar stars
