Pharaoh's Flowers
Author: F. N. Hepper
Publisher: Kws Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
As the golden face of Tutankhamun was found garlanded with fresh flowers exquisitely preserved for 3,000 years, the plants of ancient Egypt are brought back to life in this botanical exploration of the Pharaoh's tomb. Usually ignored by grave robbers intent on gold, the baskets, fabrics, papyri, timber, unguent vases, and model granaries filled to the brim with seeds that were buried with Tutankhamun have survived, completely intact, and each chapter of the book carries detailed descriptions of the plant species found or represented in the tomb, including emmer, fenugreek, chickpea, and types of reed and grass. F. Nigel Hepper groups the plants according to their uses, with categories such as Flowers and Leaves; Oils, Resins, and Perfumes; and Papyrus, Flax, and Other Fibrous Plants. This new edition of the fascinating book that was first published in 1990 has been fully updated to take into account recent finds and interpretations, and it features a revised and annotated further reading section, now with a guide to websites; a glossary of botanical terms; a new diagram of the tomb; additional illustrations; and a Bible references section, keyed to the main text and with quotations from the Old Testament that illuminate ancient botanical knowledge and practices.

The Tutankhamun Deception
Author: Gerald O'Farrell
Publisher: Pan Macmillan Adult
ISBN: 9780330481687
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
The discovery and excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb is one of the most famous archeological finds in history. But compelling evidence suggests the story we know is a sham—Howard Carter and Lord Carnavon actually discovered Tutankhamun's tomb several years before they told the world they did, looted it. re-sealed it, then led the world's media back to the site to claim their place in history. This book tells the story of the skullduggery that went on in the Valley of the Kings and how the famous Mummy's Curse, far from being something mystical, could well have been a systematic way of getting rid of those who were about to blow the cover on the secret of the find, and the secrets of the tomb.

Triumphant Love
Author: Audrey Syse Fahlberg
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 149316676X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
My true story of a marriage that lasted seventy-three years and of our family during WWII, train travel to Texas, and the obstacles encountered while there. Abilene, near Camp Berkeley, became our home; and Austin, near Camp Swift, before our soldier left for war in Italy with the Tenth Mountain Division as a frontline combat medic. His Letters Home from Italy, family, love, and reverence gave us hope. War is a paradox of love and hate, birth and death, light and darkness—and in all things—prayer and the grace of God. War is hell—a human mistake! There may be something here a good learner would not want to miss: hope—hope for the human condition. “War does not determine who is right, only who is left.” Bertrand Russell Audrey Syse Fahlberg
