The largest object still remaining in the tomb was the pharaoh's red granite sarcophagus, which Davis described as "one of the most beautiful ever found." It was made in the same style as those of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, and Ay, in the form of a rectangular pylon complete with cavetto cornice and torus moulding, and with protective goddesses on each corner.

    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 07/02/12, SPi 1 King Tut and the Dead Earl Opening the tomb he idea of the mummy curse always conjures up the story of the open- T ing of the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun in the winter of 1922–3 by the archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron, George Herbert, the Fift h Earl of Carnarvon. Carter and Carnarvon had worked as a team of excavators in Egypt since 1907, discovering a number of minor tombs in the necropolis of Th ebes and publishing a well-regarded scholarly study of their eff orts, Five Years’ Explora- tions at Th ebes , in 1911. In 1914, they fi nally acquired their long-desired conces- sion, a legal permit to excavate, issued by the Egyptian Antiquities Service, in the Valley of the Kings. Th ey stepped into the concession of the remorseless tomb-hunter Th eodore Davis, a retired American lawyer who quitt ed the area loudly declaring that the Valley of the Kings was an exhausted site with no new tombs left to discover. Davis had a cavalier reputation, however, and Carter was convinced that the tomb of Tutankhamun had not yet been found, despite some tantalizing discoveries bearing the boy-king’s royal name. War service then interrupted their planned excavations, Carter returning to the site in 1917. By early 1922, Carter counted six seasons of systematic searching in vain for signs of the tomb. Th eir fellaheen – teams of native Egyptian labourers – had moved an estimated 200,000 tons of rubble to no eff ect.

  • The Excitement of First Discovery
    Egyptology ǒ The Excitement of First Discovery South Abydos 1899–1903 by kei yamamoto he current expedition to South Abydos fol- lows in the footsteps of earlier explorers and archaeologists. David Randall-MacIver, Arthur C. Mace, Arthur E. P. B. Weigall, and Charles T. Currelly undertook the first archaeological inves- Ttigations in the area between 1899 and 1903 on behalf of their project director, the renowned Egyptologist, William Matthew Flinders Petrie. Before discussing our new research, it is important to recognize what went before. 1899–1900: DAVID RANDALL-MacIVER AND ARTHUR C. MACE The mortuary complex of Senwosret III was first discovered Arthur Weigall on his camel “Laura.” late in 1899, when Randall-MacIver noticed a worked lime- stone block protruding from the ground. Expecting to find a small chapel, he had some men dig around it. It soon became 1901–1902: ARTHUR E. P. B. WEIGALL apparent that the block was part of a doorway inside a fairly large temple dedicated to the Middle Kingdom pharaoh Two years later, Petrie had Weigall investigate the cemetery Senwosret III.

  • Difficult to Identify the Mummy of 55 KV Di Antonio Crasto
    Difficult to identify the mummy of 55 KV di Antonio Crasto Discovery In 1907, during the excavations in the Kings Valley, looking for new tombs, English archaeologists Edward Ayrton, Howard Carter and Inspector Arthur Weigall discovered a new tomb, not large, which was assigned the serial number 55, based on the history of the discoveries in the Valley. KV 55 The cartouche of Akhenaten in some of the four magical bricks arranged at the corners of the tomb and the name of Queen Tiye, Chief Wife of Amenhotep III, on the bands of gilt wooden coffin indicated a safe belonging to the Eighteenth Dynasty and especially the Amarna period, so it was immediately obvious that it was facing a second burial of a personage of Akhetaten. The haste imposed by the lender of the research campaign, the American Theodore M. Davis, led to a hasty non-scientific exploration of the tomb and emptying itself without the necessary surveys, drawings and photographs, leading most probably to the loss of many important information. The grave was in poor condition due to major water leaks from the ceiling and, in particular, the sarcophagus was in the ground water and the wood was almost rotten. The mummy, which was still in the sarcophagus, was without bandages and in poor condition, little more than a skeleton. It was therefore evident that the tomb had been violated since ancient times, as shown by the close of the offer with a new brick wall with the seal of the necropolis. The original inscriptions on the gold leaf that covered the coffin appeared partly substituted with other, a clear sign of a change of use.

In this sense, religion has frequently been used as an element of culture that functions as a reflection for that society on a larger scale. The acclaimed scholar of religion Ninian Smart states that the modern study of religion is most essentially about belief and that in the broadest sense religions are “the systems of belief which through symbols and actions, mobilize the feelings and wills of human beings.”1 Smart further states that the modern study of religion is essentially the examination of ways in which various peoples view the
