Tomb Of The Pharaohs

207 Words1 Page

The tombs of the pharaohs were very significant because the people of Egypt believed that the after-life of the Pharaohs was in their world. They thought that there wasn’t a place like heavens or hell where dead spirits went, they believed their spirit was judged and if it was judged well they would live forever in their tomb. This is why their tombs are so important, enormous, and decorated. The Egyptians, when making these tombs, would also add furniture and scrolls for the pharaoh to use in the after life. Food was also put in the tombs as well as mummified servants for the pharaohs to use in the after-life as they had in their real life. One of the hallmarks of Egyptians tombs is the difficulty to find the actual resting place of the person

    Egyptians believed that the “ka” was the person’s lifeforce and it would leave the body (Berger, Page 50). Another part of the soul, known as “ba”, is believed to go between both worlds of the Living and the Dead. Ancient Egyptians firmly thought that if they carried out the rituals just right, the “ka” and “ba” would reunite in afterlife (Berger, Page 50). Ancient Egyptians would make elaborate tombs as a proper send off to their afterlife which included many rituals. As everyone is preparing for the afterlife, the deceased are believed to go somewhere peaceful where the blue skies are endless, the weather is beautiful, and the dead will be greeted by familiar people and things (Berger, Page

    Found by Howard Carter in 1922, Tutankhamen’s Death Mask is made of the finest Egyptian gold and is one of the most recognisable Egyptian artefacts. The death mask of Tutankhamen has been a very important discovery and has given historians insight into ancient Egyptian civilisation. To demonstrate this, it is essential to discuss the context, nature, purpose and the significance of the artefact. Approximately 3000 years old, the Death Mask of Tutankhamen was discovered in the Valley of the Kings, in November 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter. His surprisingly intact tomb was found beneath some worker’s huts and inside the tomb, resting on the pharaoh’s mummy, was Tutankhamen’s Death Mask.

    Though Carter was focused on getting inside the rest of the tomb, he noted that the doorway had been sealed three different times. These findings lead Carter to the conclusion that the tomb had been robbed in the past. Carter and other archeologists even noted that king Tut’s tomb was not decorated and did not have many of the grand features of a normal pharaoh’s tomb. Though the tomb was quickly constructed, Carter’s discoveries proved that King Tut’s tomb was the greatest ancient Egyptian tomb ever discovered (“KV62” 1).
