Tutankhamun's Trumpet: The Story of Ancient Egypt in 100 Objects

內容簡介

內容簡介 自從英國考古學家霍華‧卡特於1922年挖掘考古界世紀發現─圖坦卡門的墳墓後，圖坦卡門的黃金面劇和詛咒傳說，始終是人們對於古埃及的幻想裡津津樂道的一部分。 英國古埃及學者Toby Wilksinson從挖掘到的100件文物裡，以用途和屬性分門別類，不僅讓無法親臨現場的讀者一窺墓穴內的神秘面貌，這些古文物也呈現了古埃及文化藝術的發展與演進，物件乘載著過去生活的紀錄，也讓我們能深入走進古埃及的皇室與日常生活。過去不曾有一一介紹圖坦卡門墓穴文物的書，這本書在古埃及地理、歷史與文化研究上都充滿劃時代的意義。 ‘Beautifully written, sumptuously illustrated, constantly fascinating‘ The Times On 26 November 1922 Howard Carter first peered into the newly opened tomb of an ancient Egyptian boy-king. When asked if he could see anything, he replied: ‘Yes, yes, wonderful things.’ In Tutankhamun’s Trumpet, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes a unique approach to that tomb and its contents. Instead of concentrating on the oft-told story of the discovery, or speculating on the brief life and politically fractious reign of the boy king, Wilkinson takes the objects buried with him as the source material for a wide-ranging, detailed portrait of ancient Egypt – its geography, history, culture and legacy. One hundred artefacts from the tomb, arranged in ten thematic groups, are allowed to speak again – not only for themselves, but as witnesses of the civilization that created them. Never before have the treasures of Tutankhamun been analysed and presented for what they can tell us about ancient Egyptian culture, its development, its remarkable flourishing, and its lasting impact. Filled with surprising insights, unusual details, vivid deions and, above all, remarkable objects, Tutankhamun’s Trumpet will appeal to all lovers of history, archaeology, art and culture, as well as all those fascinated by the Egypt of the pharaohs.
