  that was most likely invented in Pharaonic Egypt. The oldest surviving hourglass comes from Karnak, from the time of Amenhotep III, 18th dynasty. Carved from a block of calcite in the shape of an inverted truncated cone. The container was filled with water and this was evacuated through a small hole located above the base of the same. In the inner wall, there were holes arranged in scales (1 for each month of the year) so that when the water level fell from one mark to another it meant that an hour had passed. In Egypt, the day was split equally into twelve hours for the night and as many for the day, logically the value of each hour varied according to the season of the year.

Mummy from Abydos 6th Dynasty, Old Kingdom, c. 2305-2152 B.C.

 “The first attempts at mummification were necessitated by the development of larger and more elaborate tombs and coffins, which counteracted the drying effects of the desert sand. In this early period, there was more of an attempt to preserve the form of the body in the wrappings rather than treating the body itself. The fingers and toes were individually wrapped, as were the arms and legs. By the end of the Old Kingdom, members of the provincial nobility were buried in their local cemeteries rather than in the great court necropolis at Giza an “ nd Saqqara as they had been earlier.

Tomb of Seti I.

The longest tomb in the valley, at 137.19 meters,

It contains very well preserved reliefs in all but two of its eleven chambers and side rooms.

One of the back chambers is decorated with the Ritual of the Opening of the Mouth, which stated that the mummy's eating and drinking organs were properly functioning. Believing in the need for these functions in the afterlife, this was a very important ritual.

Women in ancient Egypt

 Unlike other ancient societies, women in Ancient Egypt had a high degree of equal opportunity and freedom.

Ancient Egyptians (women and men) were firmly equal. Interestingly, ancient sources indicate that women were qualified to sue and obtain contracts incorporating any lawful settlements, such as marriage, separation, property, and jobs.

The historian Herodotus witnessed an exceptional display of humanity and equality in Ancient Egypt that was not present in other ancient societies.

Women in ancient Egypt had some special rights other women did not have in other comparable societies. They could own property and were, at court, legally equal to men. ... Women could not have important positions in administration, though there were women rulers and even women pharaohs like Nefertiti & Hatshepsut.

Exclusive Antiquities

In the tomb of Tutankhamen 1922 at the valley of kings, Carter found things that the human mind does not believe, as he found more than 5,300 artefacts in a number that is perhaps the largest ever in the company of a king to the other world, or in the most accurate sense of what happened to us among these strange things that Carter found (unfortunately lots of small precious objects disappeared from the tomb, plus we know nothing about it).

One of the most beautiful and wonderful gold artefacts that you can ever see, a ring of pure gold and inlaid with emeralds. The beautiful decorations are designed in the style of art of endearment, which often consists of geometrical / engineering elements with great precision that Carter found in the tomb of Tutankhamun

No one saw this amazing/priceless object before, It will be displayed exclusively at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).

 Tutankhamen’s treasures

gold is shining like sunshine, seems to be done yesterday not from 3400 years ago.

Remember these treasures are for the youngest pharaoh ever in our ancient history, think about the other pharaoh’s antiquities, like Ramses II who ruled Egypt for 67 years, Egypt during his reign was all over the Middle East & till Ethiopia.
