Middle Kingdom mummification materials re-discovered in Luxor
during cleaning the courtyard of the tomb of Ipi (TT 315) where the mission unearthed these Jars inside an auxiliary chamber located on its north east corner. the jars were previously discovered by the American Egyptologist Herbert Winlock between 1921-1922 and placed in a room on the north-eastern side of the outer courtyard without cleaning until the Spanish-Egyptian mission this year resurfaced. He continued that The identification of these materials is of great importance for understanding the mummification techniques used in the early Middle Kingdom and the assessment of the kinds of items, tools, and substances involved in the process of embalming.
jars contained around 300 sacks with natron salt, oils, sand, and other substances, as well as the stoppers of the jars and a scraper are also found and among the most outstanding pieces of the collection are the Nile clay and marl large jars, some with potmarks and hieratic.

Another 360° marvel from Egypt VR. The Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak Temple - one of the greatest architectural wonders of the ancient world. (Click and drag to look around).
Here you can see the central nave of the Hall, lined by a double row of 12 grand columns some 20 metres high, with wide, bell-shaped capitals representing the feathery blossoms of flowering papyrus stalks.
Although today it is open to the sky, try to imagine the Great Hypostyle Hall in its heyday, cloaked by massive ceiling slabs which kept the space in a sombre semidarkness, split by a few beams of dusty sunshine.
Most of them are gone now, but the spaces between the columns once bustled with statues of kings and gods. In the centre of this image you can see one of a pair of statues thought to be King Amenmesse, the grandson of Ramesses II who completed the Great Hypostyle Hall.
In the background is the obelisk of Thutmose I. His were the first obelisks erected at Karnak Temple, some 200 years before Ramesses’ time.

The tomb that leaves you breathless.
Nefertari. "To the modern ear, the sound of her name evokes visions of unrivalled splendour, surpassing beauty and supreme power." - John K. McDonald.
For over 20 years Nefertari was the beloved first queen of the great Ramesses II and mother of at least six of her husband's many, many children.
No small part of Nefertari's fame comes from her brilliantly-decorated tomb (QV66) in the Valley of the Queens in western Thebes. It is one of the true treasures of ancient Egypt and is renowned for its amazing beauty.
Was there true love between husband and wife? We'll never really know, but Ramesses did lavish upon his wife some endearing epithets: "Lady of Charm", "Sweet of Love", and "Rich of Praise".

King Tut was buried with a dagger made of an iron that literally came from space , But still this doesn't mean that it was made by Aliens !

X-ray analysis confirms that the iron of the dagger placed on the thigh of the boy king has meteoric origins.
