The Egyptologist Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences is planning to bring the exhibition of finds made by Russian archaeologists in the course of diggings in Luxore (the ancient Phoebe).
The exhibition “Crypt of Royal Mummies: Life and Death of Great Pharaohs” is expected to present sculptures of the pharaohs Ramesses II the Great and Tutmos III, the sarcophagus of Ramesses II, jewelries and other articles related to the pharaohs of the New Kingdom, as well as household items of common Egyptians. Altogether about a hundred and a half exhibits will be displayed there. Presently they are being kept in the Egypt Museum in Cairo.
From Moscow the Egypt finds will go to museums of Germany, France and Britain.
All the exhibits of the future exposition were discovered in 1998-2005 during examination of the crypt of royal mummies, known as tomb TT 320.

: The photo in your article is associated with the Vedic civilization a culture centered on the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Scholars place the Vedic period in the 2nd and 1st millennia BC, continuing up to the 6th century BC. This civilization is the foundation of Hinduism and the associated Indian culture that is known today. It is difficult to define the precise beginning of the Rig Vedic period as it emerges seamlessly from the Indus Valley Civilization era preceding it, but the Rig Vedic people have a lot in common with the Andronovo culture believed to be the site of the first chariots.

: Oops, I am mistaken! The photo is a relief of Ramses II located in Abu Simbel temple, depicted fighting at the Battle of Kadesh. Please accept my apology. Silly me! Added: 29 January 2008 19:02 |
