The Digital Egypt website run by University College London and including artifacts from the Petrie Museum is an excellent website.

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo also has a website: http://www.egyptianmuseum.gov.eg/

Naturalizing Artifacts


Naturalizing Artifacts


$96.59


Can we build an epistemology of artifacts? What are the scientific connections between artifacts and knowledge? How can we conceive the relationship between knowledge, philosophy and science? Naturalizing Artifacts aims to find an affirmative response to these problems through the analysis of artworks and their relation to perception, neuroscience and neuropsychology. Broadening the limits of epistemology to artworks, this work inspires a revision of naturalized epistemology focusing on the cleavage between natural kinds and artifacts and on the distinction between true and false beliefs. Emphasizing the crucial role of perception, emotions, and of the interactive character of artworks, the author intertwines philosophy, science and art enlightening the possibility of a new account of theories and objects.

$14.14


Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Tutankhamun (alternately spelled with Tutenkh-, -amen, -amon), Egyptian , approx. ; 1341 BC 1323 BC) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (ruled c.1333 BC 1323 BC in the conventional chronology), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom. His original name, Tutankhaten, means “Living Image of Aten”, while Tutankhamun means “Living Image of Amun.” In hieroglyphs the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters. He was likely the 18th dynasty king ‘Rathotis’ who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years a figure which conforms with Flavius Josephus’s version of Manetho’s Epitome. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun’s intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun’s burial mask remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that Tutankhamun was the son of Akhenaten (mummy KV55) and his sister/wife (mummy KV35YL), whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as “The Younger Lady” mummy found in KV35. Tutankhamun receives flowers from AnkhesenamenTutankhamun was nine years old when he became pharaoh and reigned for approximately ten years. In historical terms, Tutankhamun’s significance stems from his rejection of the radical religious innovations introduced by his predecessor and father, Akhenaten. Secondly, his tomb in the Valley of the Kings was discovered by Carter almost completely intact the most complet… More:

Chapters: 5th-Century Bc Clergy, Iufaa, Joiakim, Agias of Sparta, Silanus of Ambracia, Johanan, Megistias, Eliashib, Joiada, Hegesistratus. Excerpt: Iufaa was an Egyptian priest and administer of palaces who lived around 500 BC. His mummy was discovered in an unmolested tomb by Czech archaeologists including Ladislav Bares in February 1998. The discovery of an unmolested Egyptian tomb of this significance is a very rare occurrence. The mummy was in a state of advanced decomposition due to the proximity of the water table, however many of the tomb’s artifacts were in good condition. In 1994, a team of Czech archaeologists from the Czech Institute of Egyptology at Charles University in Prague, directed by Miroslav Verner, began investigating a second large shaft tomb at Abusir in Egypt. In 1996, they located a burial chamber at the bottom of the shaft, 80 feet (20 m) below the desert. As they excavated they found tunnels that had been previously built by looters; these tunnels ended a few meters (yards) above the burial chamber. The shaft had been built through weak, brittle clay, and the team took the precaution of building a protective roof of reinforced concrete over the burial chamber to prevent a collapse of the shaft. The tomb and its vaulted roof were created from white limestone blocks, and a white limestone sarcophagus almost filled the chamber. The contents of the tomb were intact, making this the first unrobbed shaft tomb found in Egypt since 1941. The researchers dated the tomb to the late 26th dynasty (before 525 BC). The sarcophagus was surrounded by 408 ushabtis, symbolizing servants for the dead, and the tomb also contained stone vessels, wooden furniture, pottery, and papyri scrolls. Some of the pottery had been imported from the Aege… More:
