A English team is jewelry in the excavation Egyptology The English adventure in ancient Theban necropolis of Dra Abu el Naga (Luxor) and shines with the sparkle of gold. The team under the direction of Madrid José Manuel Galán, a member of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), who excavated the tomb of Djehuty noble and surrounding area since 2002 has discovered pieces of jewelry in his last campaign, which ended on 22 February. in particular, have unearthed six gold earrings, two mismatched, prompting predictions that may still appear other two.
Despite the shock of the word gold associated with ancient Egypt, Galán stressed this newspaper last night: "As the song of Manu Chao, not only that glitters is gold." And, he stressed, has found something just as valuable as the noble metal: a chamber decorated with texts and paintings. It appears that the objects are part of the funerary equipment of Djehuty, a high official of Queen Hatshepsut, or a family member. It was during his time when nobles Nubian Egyptians adopted the custom to wear earrings. Djehuty, whose mummy and looking outfit for eight years, the English team to excavate, restore and publish the numerous structures and objects in the area, lived during the XVIII Dynasty, about 3,500 years ago. Djehuty's name is emblematic of English Egyptology. The project Galán and his team developed at Dra Abu el Naga, into the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Deir el Bahari, one of the most exclusive area of \u200b\u200bexcavations in the world, has continued to report major findings. Suffice it to mention the Table of the Apprentice, with an unusual frontal portrait of a pharaoh, Iqer archer's burial or coffin of the White Lady (which will be a stellar piece of the exhibition on the English missions in Egypt which will open early April in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo).
This campaign had to be meeting with Djehuty because it would dig his burial chamber at the end of a well Inside the tomb, a work that has had to postpone going to the unexpected findings in other areas, as fruitful as the grave yard, and the need to strengthen structures to avoid dangerous landslides. The jewels have appeared in the doorway in an unknown second burial chamber that was behind the famous, after a ten-foot pit. This new venue is decorated in two of the walls with texts from the Book of the Dead and lights in the ceiling painting of the goddess Nut. Neither
sarcophagus and the mummy of Djehuty are on the camera but much remains to be clearing operations. Galán believes the mummy could be burned. In the current campaign have been other notable findings such as moon leg, skirt, the statue of a pharaoh in pink granite. The jewels were in a burial chamber with paintings.
