Als der Baggerfahrer Anton Wesp am 22. Juni 1946 mit seinem Kettenschaufelbagger im Braunkohletagebau Grube Michel bei Frankleben ein Keramikgefäß schrammte, kamen 17 Sichelklingen zum Vorschein. (1/4) #archäologie #SachsenAnhalt
Einen Monat später fand Wesp etwas nördlich des 1. Depots zwei weitere. Eines dieser beiden Depots war vollkommen unversehrt und enthielt 132 Sichelklingen und 14 Lappenbeile, die in einem mit vier Steinplatten bedeckten Tontopf kunstvoll arrangiert waren. (2/4)
Die Funde von Frankleben datieren zwischen das 13. und das 10. Jh. v. Chr. und stellen nach ihrem Gewicht mit 45kg den größten Bronzeschatz Mitteleuropas dar. Die Depots können im Museum Halle im Abschnitt Glutgeboren besichtigt werden.

2/ Only 8 complete chariots, & 1 chariot cab, have survived from the Late Bronze age among several civilizations that had them. All these come from 18th Dynasty Egypt, 6 of them from Tutankhamun's tomb Image
3/ 4 of the chariots had wood frames and cloth or leather sidings which did not survive. They had minimal gilding. #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte #Egipto #Egito #Αίγυπτος #Ägypten #מִצְרַיִם #Egitto #エジプト #이집트 #مصر Image

2/ A pair of gilded wood statues of Tutankhamun on the back of a leopard were found in the treasury chamber enclosed in a shrine & wrapped in linen. Image
3/ These leopard statues were traditional tomb equipment for New Kingdom pharaohs. Tutankhamun's are the most beautiful and complete examples ever found. Image

2/ Egyptian faience was a kind of glazed pottery, often in a range of blue & blue-green shades. The shiny surface was even compared favorably to gold. Dozens of faience objects were found in Tutankhamun's tomb including ritual vessels. Image
3/ Ritual vessels were used to pour libations of water & wine. Two common shapes were the tall, slender "Hes-vase" & the squat "Nemset-jar". Both vessels can appear with or without a spout. Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt

2/ This marvelous gilded wood statue of a falcon with blue glass eye markings has a surprising function. #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt

3/ It was attached to the pole of Tutankhamun's golden state chariot. The solar disk would have appeared behind the head of the king's horses as in this idealized scene of Ramesses II's chariot. #이집트 #Египет #Єгипет #埃及 #埃及 #مصر Image
