Book excerpt: Tom B. was born into the socially, economically and upwardly mobile middle class. His generation largely knew nothing of suffering and hardship. Tom B., a typical young man in his thirties has everything that life ever promised him: the college degree, the cushy office job, the beautiful wife and the quaint suburban home. Yet he finds his existence increasingly empty and surreal. Somewhere either imprinted on his DNA or emanating from scattered memories of youth, Tom B. once knew what it was like to feel alive. As he starts to engage his more primal and animalistic self, we watch Tom B. mentally and physically diverge from societal norms. Tom B.'s descent into the full, guiltless, unrepressed man eventually leads to his spiritual and physical fulfillment and yet his ultimate demise.

Download or read book Iron from Tutankhamun s Tomb written by Katja Broschat and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study of the iron objects found in Tutankhamun’s tomb that include daggers, quivers, arrows, and an elaborately decorated bow case A century after Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon’s sensational discovery in 1922 of the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, the boy-king and his treasures continue to fascinate people all over the world. Although nearly 5,400 objects accompanied the young pharaoh on his journey to the afterlife, many of them have not been investigated in detail. Iron from Tutankhamun’s Tomb analyzes iron artifacts from the tomb in depth for the first time. This group consists of small iron chisels set into wooden handles, an Eye of Horus amulet, a miniature headrest, and the blade of a richly decorated golden dagger. The most important of these were placed in close proximity to the king’s mummy, emphasizing the high value attributed to this rare material in late Bronze Age Egypt—a time when iron smelting was not yet known in the land of the Nile. Written by a research team of archaeologists, scientists, and conservators, this comprehensive study explores in fascinating detail the context and meaning of these artifacts, while establishing for the first time that Tutankhamun’s iron came from meteorites. They complete their examination with the results of chemical analyses, offering in the process a rich overall understanding of iron and its significance in ancient Egypt.
