    King Djoser's Step Pyramid

    It is a part of the ancient city of Thebes (Dorman, Peter). The Valley of the Kings is a burial site of almost all the pharaohs from 1539-1075 BCE (Dorman, Peter). The pharaohs from that time period feared for the safety of their rich burials. They chose to conceal their tombs in a valley in the western hills behind Dayr al-Bahri (Dorman, Peter). The tombs have descending corridor with deep shafts and pillared chambers to confuse robbers (Dorman, Peter). The cases were covered with “sculptured and painted scenes” of the pharaohs with god and goddess. There were also magical texts to help the pharaohs on their journey in the afterlife (Dorman, Peter). All tombs were cleared out in the 21st dynasty to protect the mummies and to recycle the treasures back into the royal treasury. Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in 1922 under pile of rock chippings. The treasures in his tomb indicated “how rich the burial of a great pharaoh” must have been during that time (Dorman,…

    The Royal Tombs: The Lyres Of Ur

    It was the autumn of 1927, and the hot Iraqi sun beat down on Sir Leonard Woolley as he and his crew continued to excavate the earth. He had been digging at the site of the ancient city of Ur, a relic of the civilization of Mesopotamia, and had found a plethora of artifacts about everyday life. However, what he was about to find was much, much more interesting. Instead of finding simple graves like before, Woolley had stumbled upon four tombs of elites, filled with riches of gold and other amazing monuments to Mesopotamian culture. But in my opinion the most fascinating pieces of art discovered in the Royal Tombs are the Lyres of Ur, which have a rich blend of Sumerian history as well as a beautiful and artistic design.…
