Recently revealed a team of renowned archaeologists for about 300 pieces of leather antique wagon ancient Egyptian Egyptian Museum.
According to a statement from the university, work, Dr. Salima Ikram, a professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo and a member of the archaeologists team, to solve the mystery behind the skin remains that have been discovered recently.
Ikram says, "The discovery of such skin pieces is a unique and highly unusual."
Team seeks to rebuild the ancient Egyptian ownership of a vehicle during 2015 through technical study and the resources used in the construction of such a vehicle, and use the same technique used by the ancient Egyptians.
Says Ikram, "There are a small number of full vehicles, which we aware of them, from ancient Egypt, one was restored Termama tremendous in the city of Florence, and the other is for Toya and Yuya and present in the Egyptian Museum, contained the carriages on large pieces of skin, but they did not Thtoya on a lot of decoration was good Tkona same situation that we found it cut the vehicle skin. "
Despite the repeated appearance of horse-drawn carriages in ancient Egyptian art, but archaeological evidence shows that the presence of vehicles and other non-timber wagons are considered extremely low. Thus, rarely remaining skin effects as a result of organic nature. Ikram describes "The leather pieces in good condition exceeded our expectations, and we can figure out how to extend the skin. According to the good situation in which we found them to skin likelihood saved inside the cemetery.
Ikram and a team of scientists seeking to understand the technical and skin used in the vehicle industry during the construction of a replica of the wagon-mentioned process, in addition to test assumptions concerning the uses of the various pieces of skin, which is a process full of challenges. Ikram says "some skin pieces wrapped in crinkly made, may be rebuilding some parts of the process while trying to maintain the same precision used in the vehicle industry technology much more difficult than we expected."
Ikram started working with Andre Feldmar, head of the Department of Egyptology Dutch Flemish Institute in Cairo, in a project entitled "Ancient Egypt Leatherwork Project" in 2008, where they met Robert Jacobs Forbes book, which was released during the fifties, entitled "Studies in Ancient Technology".
The book has been talked about in black and white linen decorated saddles and harnesses for horses, which look and sound clearly photograph, and is said to exist in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Ikram Feldmar sought and, as a result of the intense interest in the outcome of Forbes, to get help curators to find a cache of private vehicle Egyptian leather pieces, which included parts of the brackets portfolio.
And worked Ikram and Feldmar closer technical examination and the resources used in the vehicle industry, in addition to analytical studies for them. They have been classified leather pieces into two main groups according to their colors and durability They also numbered and characterization of leather pieces, which included hoops to hurry, and tapes of the neck, and protective gloves, and parts of the brackets portfolio. It is clear that these remains are all parts of the vehicle.
Confirms Ikram "considered all leather parts that we have seen new. Has shown us how has the vehicle industry, in addition to the techniques and materials that were used in the manufacture of this vehicle. The study also revealed that we've made about how to install the ligaments of the components of the structure of the skin of the vehicle. "
Through a closer look at these results, Ikram hopes to be able to be used in the context of the history of Egyptian vehicles. And correspond to the results of "The Egyptian Museum Chariot Project Project" with a comprehensive and multi-faceted about leather business in ancient Egypt research project huge, which also includes the study of other pieces of vehicles, such as that obtained from the fourth Tuthmosis Cemetery (Carter and Newberry in 1904), and the cemetery Amenhotep II (Darisi 1902), and the tomb of Amenhotep III (for Itaor and Kroal 1985, 1968 and 1987), in addition to the leather pieces of the Amarna period (Feldmar 2010). This project is managed by the largest Feldmar and honor.
Ikram says, "I have given the idea that road vehicles are considered the best way allows fast moving wheel and, therefore, changed the way the Egyptians move from one place to another to revolutionize the transportation and wars.
And start from ancient times to the modern times, Ikram believes that the vehicles reflect one of the oldest means of transportation known to man. "The vehicle is above the car. It was used by the ancient Egyptians vehicles the same way that we used the car in her first appearance. ", According to the statement.
