Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour l'homme, se savoir mortel a toujours été difficile à accepter. Plusieurs peuples, les Égyptiens les premiers, ont cru trouver le chemin de l'immortalité en inventant des techniques de conservation des corps destinées, dans l'idéal, à leur garder l'apparence de la vie. Pour eux, la mort n'était qu'un passage entre deux formes d'existence. Pour d'autres, comme les Incas, il s'agissait avant tout de garder présents au monde des personnages exceptionnels, qui devaient rester bénéfiques pour la communauté. Archéologues, anthropologues, médecins, les auteurs de ce livre ont tenté d'appréhender les motivations qui ont poussé de nombreux peuples dans le monde à préserver les corps de la destruction. Cependant les momies ne sont pas seulement les reflets des croyances et des pratiques religieuses de peuples disparus : elles apportent aussi des renseignements précieux sur leur vie matérielle, leur quotidien et les maladies dont ils souffraient. C'est également ce que permettent des momies " naturelles ", spontanément conservées par des hasards climatiques ou géologiques dans diverses régions du monde. Grâce à elles, une véritable " paléo-ethnologie " devient possible. Richement illustré d'une centaine de photographies, souvent inédites et saisissantes, cet ouvrage, l'un des plus complets à ce jour, est signé par les plus grands spécialistes français dans leur domaine.

Download or read book Mummies and Death in Egypt written by Françoise Dunand and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today, a good century after the first X-rays of mummies, Egyptology has the benefit of all the methods and means at the disposal of forensic medicine. The 'mummy stories' we tell have changed their tone, but they have enjoyed much success, with fantastic scientific and technological results resolving the mysteries of the ancient land of the pharaohs."--from the Foreword Mummies are the things that fascinate us most about ancient Egypt. But what are mummies? How did the Egyptians create them? And why? What became of the people they once were? We are learning more all the time about the cultural processes surrounding mummification and the medical characteristics of ancient Egyptian mummies. In the first part of Mummies and Death in Egypt Françoise Dunand gives an overview of the history of mummification in Egypt from the prehistoric to the Roman period. She thoroughly describes the preparations of the dead (tombs and their furnishings, funerary offerings, ornamentation of the corpse, coffins, and canopic jars), and she includes a separate chapter on the mummification of animals. She links these various practices and behaviors to the religious beliefs of classical Egypt. In the second part of this book, Roger Lichtenberg, a physician and archaeologist, offers a fascinating narrative of his forensic research on mummies, much of it conducted with a portable X-ray machine on archaeological digs. His findings have revealed new information on the ages of the mummified, their causes of death, and the illnesses and injuries they suffered. Together, Dunand and Lichtenberg provide a state-of-the-art account of the science of mummification and its social and religious context.

Book excerpt: Trois millénaires après la fin du règne des pharaons sur l'Egypte, ils fascinent toujours autant. Le Nil, le SPHINX énigmatique, les PYRAMIDES et les gigantesques tombeaux alignés dans la VALLÉE DES Rois, sont autant de marques qui rappellent, encore aujourd'hui, le souvenir de leur grandeur. Un élément essentiel de la culture des anciens Egyptiens se cache derrière tous ces signes : c'est LA MORT. Le passage des morts dans le royaume de l'au-delà était crucial chez les Egyptiens. C'est pourquoi ils préparaient les corps de leurs défunts avec tant de soin. Ils étaient soigneusement éviscérés, enveloppés de bandelettes et placés dans des SARCOPHAGES somptueux. Des AMULETTES les protégeaient dans leur voyage final vers le royaume des morts. LA MOMIE passe en revue tous les aspects mythologiques et culturels du processus de momification, depuis ses origines dans le mythe d'Isis et d'OSIRIS jusqu'au culte des pharaons. La plupart des trésors pharaoniques sont restés cachés pendant des millénaires, mais une fois découverts, ils devinrent la proie des archéologues, des PILLEURS DE TOMBES et autres CHASSEURS DE TRÉSORS. A partir de 1922, la mode des MOMIES fit rage après la découverte de TOUTANKHAMON, l'enfant-roi au sarcophage d'or. Mais qu'allait-il arriver à ceux qui avaient osé déranger les pharaons dans leur sommeil éternel ? Comment interpréter les MORTS MYSTÉRIEUSES de ceux qui avaient arraché Toutankhamon de sa tombe millénaire ? Quel est l'impact de la découverte de ces corps préservés sur la communauté scientifique ? Joyce Tyldesley répond à toutes ces questions et explore mythes et réalités à travers toutes ces histoires de momies.

Book excerpt: Et si nous étions en train de réinventer les momies ? Si l’antique croyance des Égyptiens, qui pensaient conquérir l’éternité en momifi ant les corps, retrouvait une actualité grâce à la science la plus avancée ? Telle est la proposition originale de ce livre qui porte un regard nouveau sur la grande histoire des momies, depuis les périodes les plus reculées de l’Égypte ancienne jusqu’aux cyborgs, aux corps cryogénisés et aux avatars robotiques d’aujourd’hui et de demain. Nous avons remplacé la résurrection des morts par la conservation du vivant. Les moyens diffèrent, mais le but est le même : vaincre la mort, défier la fuite du temps. Oui, les momies sont revenues ! Le même désir d’éternité qui habitait les anciens Égyptiens nous habite. Pour prolonger indéfi niment notre vie, nous avons mis la science à la place de la magie. Un vieux rêve en train de se réaliser ou une passion à jamais impossible ?

Download or read book The Excavations at Ismant al Kharab written by Carlo Rindi Nuzzolo and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations by the Dakhleh Oasis Project at Ismant al-Kharab, ancient Kellis in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, revealed the presence of an extensive necropolis dating to the Roman Period, with hundreds of rock-cut tombs containing multiple burials. Termed the Kellis 1 Cemetery, it yielded a range of artifacts and many of the individuals were provided with elaborately decorated cartonnage coverings. This is the largest collection of such material yet discovered in Dakhleh. This book presents a detailed analysis of the entire corpus of cartonnage found at Kellis in a securely excavated context. These objects, which include mummy masks, foot-cases, and full body covers, were part of the burial accoutrements of the wealthier residents of the village. Stylistic and digital investigation of the artifacts suggests a well-defined craft production, with the presence of multiple groups of craftsmen using specific manufacturing techniques and local traits in their iconographic repertoire. The scale of evidence demonstrates that Kellis was a vibrant community with a dynamic funerary production in contact with nearby areas. Comparison with finds from the neighboring Oasis of Kharga, as well as with artifacts in museums collections and from the antiquities market, suggest a complex network of skilled craftsmen throughout the region. This is the first comprehensive study of the material. It has been studied in person by the author in the field enabling a detailed appraisal of the items, whether intact or fragmentary. It builds on recent research addressing regionalism and craftsmanship, and constitutes one of the main sources to investigate issues of permanence and change in the indigenous funerary customs of the area.
