Цитата:
For example, recently returned to Egypt Louvre painting, cut illegally from the tomb Tetiki. This is the right thing. When we speak, as is the case with the statue of Hemiunu, the monument, which was found in 1912 by Hermann Junker, Giza and absolutely legally left Egypt at the same time, in my view, claims Egypt is totally unfounded. Actually, the fear of the German side are not groundless, since one of the representatives of the Egyptian side, whose name is not specified, said that "we would not agree only on the time of exposure, if not there were negotiations that the statue has returned to his true home in good. In response to the suggestion that a formal request for the return of the monument, Egypt did, the same man said that "there is no need for a government official sign the request. It is logical - to return to Egypt that belongs to Egypt." Ie situation is not simple. Again, my position is that the issue of each monument should be considered separately. If the cause, for example, to return to the Louvre Denderskogo Zodiac no, despite the fact that the French vandals cut down its heavily damaged the upper sanctuary of Osiris in the temple of Hathor at Dendera, the question of the return of the bust of Nefertiti to Egypt must go - it really was taken illegally in Germany and to the recently found new evidence. Naturally, we're talking about on the monuments of national importance, of course, I do not see any sense in otsmatrivanii, for example, auctions with a view to confiscation of: it is illogical and confusing, there is practically no monuments of this kind. All the famous masterpieces illegal, around which unfolded after the scandals, not bought at auction, but with hands. For example, this is the unfolding story of the famous mask ladies Kainefernefer, which made Egypt severed relations with the Museum of Saint Louis In general, this is a big and difficult topic. On Restitution now say a lot, while in Egypt and all the new the Antiquities Act, passed. In this context, those monuments which are timely and legally caught in private collections, including in Russia, the more meaningful and valuable. I think the demand for them should be very seriously grow in coming years. Добавлено через 7 минут We are talking about the monuments of an entirely different level. For example, the head of the statue of Amenhotep III, contained in the enclosure, and sold at some time in the U.S. for $ 1.5 million, has caused its appearance to a huge process, in which several people were jailed for a serious term, Frederick Schultz - an adviser to Bill Clinton vntikvariatu was removed from office and ransomed by a miracle, but Egyptian law on restitution was first used in the U.S.. Incidentally, it was on it recently in Rhode Island was arrested sarcophagus priest Imesi (also in enclosure), ukotory recently returned to Cairo. Alas, it is unwise trend, since both of the monument have comparable value - sarcophagus Imesi good, but common, widespread and nothing supernatural, as opposed to the king's portrait of himself is not. And the criminality of his, ny fact, never been proven, in contrast to the head. Последний раз редактировалось Виктор Солкин; 17.04.2010 в 00:16. Причина: Добавлено сообщение |

Ancient Egypt at Sotheby's. June 2010
Upcoming in June auction of antiquities at the "Sotheby's in New York quite impress with their Egyptian section, in fact, are the monuments are not the first magnitude, and selecting them for part of the review, I proceed from the principle of better to have something than nothing . Apparently, a similar principle guided and auction house. Particularly amusing is against this background it seems that as the most important monument of Egyptian art at the tender declared "amarnsky talatat", allegedly depicting Queen Kiya, even the authenticity of which, not to mention the quality of execution, is of great skepticism. Incidentally, the dating of Egyptian monuments in these trades - generally a big problem, they are either inaccurate or their scope is very broad in cases where much more precise date of creation works well, you can specify.
Of interest. One of the two lots of really interesting - it is a bronze head of a goddess (for some reason the directory is called "Isis", although that attribution is no reason) that was once the pommel stern sacred portable boat of the goddess. On these boats a cult statues of deities committed how - "vossiyanie", leaving the Holy of Holies in the temple profane the world during the holiday. The height of the monument - 14 centimeters, lost piece in the form of cow horns and solar disc between them, which was once installed on the root modius crowning a tripartite wig. Also lost Urey on the forehead of the goddess and its inlaid eyes and eyebrows. Perhaps drawing dress Nereta - wings of the sacred vulture, which covers a wig, as was once encrusted with other metals. Despite the lost inlay, or the goddess is very lively, interesting and different simulated perfectly preserved. The dating period of the reign XXVI-XXX Dynasties seems preferable. The statue was purchased in Rome in 1950, estimeyt - $ 10-15 thousand From Karnak, apparently, is part of the framing of the doorway, made of sandstone. It was once part of the entrance to the sanctuary of Osiris-Wow, founded by the king Taharqa. On the lintel kept three images: Isis facing Osiris, the king Taharqa, bringing victims of Osiris and Nephthys, and, finally, Ra-Horahte and man, leading Taharqa to Osiris. The height of the monument - 43,2 cm, width - 96,5 cm monument, interesting both from epigraphic point of view, and from religious studies, comes from Australian private collections, his estimeyt - $ 10-15 thousand In one of the galleries of Brussels in 1967, was purchased by a sculptural portrait of the king XXX Dynasty, most likely, Nektanebus I, which is now exhibited at the "Sotheby's". At the king wearing a headscarf Nemesia, height of the monument - 24,8 cm, it is made of gray granite. Estimeyt - $ 50-80 thousand At the auction are two statues of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris, one of them - better made, the second - almost completely preserved. Dwell on the second - anthropomorphic, zapelenutoe deity in the high corona liver, with a broad necklace useh, stands on a pedestal, decorated with signs of power YAG and signs of eternal life Anh. The height of the statue - 74,9 cm, dated monument Ptolemaic times. His estimeyt to "Sotheby's" - $ 10-15 thousand Board XXII-XXVI dynasty dates back to a small bronze figurine of a sacred cat, height 13,3 cm figurine is hollow, since it serves as reliquaries to hold parts of the mummy of the sacred animal. Judging from the surviving traces of gilding, it was a very revered sacred animal, a considerable wealth donator, who could afford such a gift. The monument, originally from the collection of German poet and playwright Alexander Drea (1890-1965) is in urgent need of restoration and, in general, has very good proportions, despite the corrosion of the silhouette of an animal referred to master perfectly. Estimeyt - $ 5-8 thousand The second lot of trades that are really interesting - a miniature stele depicting Horus-baby crocodile. Above the choir - the traditional head Besa protecting the divine infant in swamps Ah-Bit. On the reverse side of the stele, made of greenish serpentine, - a short hieroglyphic text to the security mantra. The height of the stele - 5,8 cm, it dates from the XXX dynasty and comes from the famous Cairo Collection Maurice Nahman, sold after the death of the owner in 1953. Monument perfectly executed, especially considering its tiny size and, like all the so-called "Zippy Choir" was used for the consecration of water, or simply as an amulet for protection from any evil. Estimeyt - $ 5-8 thousand Finally, completing this brief review, will focus more on the mask anthropomorphic sarcophagus is quite usual, made from wood and painted, but just very beautiful. The monument, originally from an old German collection dates from Dynasty XXII; tripartite black wig deceased painted ocher: transferred strand of hair and a flower water lily - a symbol of rebirth - from which there fruit Persia - a tree dedicated to the cult of Ra. Perfectly modeled face, narrow eyes, let down a clear cosmetic lines traced by the level of his performance the best examples of the late New Kingdom, but still different from them. The person who died is colored in green, associated with Osiris and eternal life. The height of the monument - 40,6 cm, estimeyt - $ 7-10 thousand (C) Victor Solkin (C) photo - sothebys.com |

Kainefernefer, or the main problem of the museum in St. Louis Missouri
This mask, which has become due to the controversial history of its appearance in art-space one of the most famous monuments of ancient Egyptian art, was found in 1951, Egyptian archaeologist Mohammed Zakaria Ghoneim at Saqqara in the study of incomplete pyramidal complex King III dynasty Sehemheta. The area of the archaeologists have discovered many more recent graves.
"The most interesting was the burial tomb of a noble woman named Kainefernefer, which means" Beautiful Double Ka "- wrote Ghoneim. - Her body was not embalmed, but simply wrapped in a mat of palm leaves. The head and shoulders covered realistic painted and gilded mask covered with plaster cloth and cardboard. She was also a necklace of glass beads, simulating semiprecious stones, amulets of green feldspar and glass in front of her were, and figurines - alabaster, wood and steatitovye ... "Mask dated to the time of the Board XIX dynasty and the specifics of the burial, the mat and talked about that the deceased may have been Libyan. Mask remarkably good its realism, proportions and amounts. Face ladies are gilded with copper content in gold and metal oxide gives it a reddish hue. Extended inlaid glass eyes summed imitations of cosmetic lines. Lips mask covered with red-yellow pigment, which was once the foundation for more intensive gilding. Massive wig with a remarkably made from a thick layer of resin with double strands of hair framing the face, decorated with a bandage, which dangles encrusted glass flower water lily from which the visible fruit of the tree of Persia - the symbol of rebirth and the Sun God. Shoulders ladies covered a broad necklace, from the visible chest, decorated with floral ornaments and hanging between flower water lily. Under the chest shows the volume pectoral in the form of boat of Osiris, where the front of the deity to be very Kainefernefer. In the hands of masks - traditional symbols of Osiris and Isis Jed - 'tet', together symbolizing the sacrament of the posthumous transformation of the deceased. At the top of the mask are damaged, which, however, do not distort the overall look of the monument and not diminish its artistic value. Museum of St. Louis bought the mask Kainefernefer - chief masterpiece of its Egyptian collection - in 1998 in Geneva Gallery "Phoenix", owned by famous art dealer, brothers Abutaam. It soon became clear that the monument left Egypt illegally, along with some other works of art disappeared during robbery archaeological storage at Saqqara in 1980. Since then, the mask that turned first in Belgium, and then - in Switzerland, had several owners. At present the Museum of St. Louis refused to meet the insistence of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Egypt and return the mask to his homeland. On the complex history of the mask, which came illegally to the European antique market and which requires the return of Egypt |

Accuracy in egiptologicheski
famous statement "Science can be divided into natural and unnatural, alternately attributed to Lev Landau, the Abram Ioffe, something else to some great Soviet physicist. In fact, this phrase uttered vice president of the Academy of Sciences Vladimir Steklov, founder of the Institute of Physics and Mathematics. For some reason, much less remember the answer to this remark of the historian Sergei Platonov: "No, sir, to the public and antisocial." This swordplay two great scientists soon a hundred years. Post factum, we may assume that won her Steklov, at least in regard to public attitudes toward science. During this time the humanities now and then had to prove that what they are doing - this is also a science, even though they do not build giant reactors and colliders, do not send people into space, not create new materials and weapons of the future and do not cure the deadly disease. Modern social sciences owe the natural sciences and mathematics. Without mathematics nowadays unthinkable nor economics, nor sociology, nor even many philological methods. Physicists, chemists, biologists, historians, astronomers have learned new ways of dating, especially dendrochronology and radiocarbon analysis. Classical humanities these methods are considered by the subsidiary, as they can determine only the outer "binding" events, not their essence - the main subject of interest in humanities. A recent joint study by Cambridge and Oxford scientists who undertook to re-examine key dating the history of ancient Egypt with the help of radiocarbon analysis and mathematical modeling can be considered as an example of such an auxiliary function of natural science methods in the humanities.

Losses in Cairo
February 12 Minister of Archaeology of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Zahi Hawass announced the list of monuments of world importance, which nevertheless had been stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo during the riots. Among the losses of the museum - the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian art, included not only the fund's most famous exhibits of the famous congregation, but very familiar to anyone who was interested in the art of ancient civilizations.
First of all we are talking about a significant loss among the monuments discovered in 1920 by Howard Carter in the tomb of Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings. Stolen wooden gilded statue of the goddess Menheret holding in her arms embalmed king wearing a crown of Lower Egypt, stolen upper part (torso) of the famous statue of Tutankhamun, shown standing on a ceremonial boat with a harpoon in hand. Severely damaged monuments of windows on the art of Amarna - epoch of religious reformer Akhenaten and his wife, the beautiful Nefertiti. It is known that disappeared one of the most famous images of Akhenaten - the statue of the king in a blue crown from the altar in his hands, made of limestone and painted, also disappeared statue of Nefertiti, sacrifice, the head of quartzite statue of the princess, the daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, who was considered one of the most striking sculptural portraits of the museum's collection. Abducted eleven statuettes, ushebti designed to work for the soul of the deceased in another world (they are made of cedar wood, gilded and painted), found in the tomb of nobles Iuyi, great-grandfather of Tutankhamen and his wife Tuya. Gone are the statuette of one of the clerks of the court of Akhenaten, as well as the scarab, once placed on the heart area mummy lords Iuyi. And this is in addition to those masterpieces that were damaged by looters and just thrown into a museum about the broken windows. "Unfortunately, it is difficult to assume, will we see once again these monuments, some of whom, judging from the remaining fragments in the museum, considerably damaged, - told a REGNUM president of the Association for the Study of Ancient Egyptian President Solkin. - These things can be found later by the Egyptian authorities, as a matter of fact, they are priceless, and sell monuments, published in thousands of books on ancient Egyptian art, will be almost impossible. The question is, what state they are found and can they be restored. Do not forget that the statue of Tutankhamun on a boat vandals simply tear off the top, but with the help of another statue of Tutankhamun on a black leopard, which miraculously remained in the museum and, despite the loss, subject to restoration, looters broke the windows of the museum. The most unfortunate scenario would happen if these monuments will be transported abroad and sold in closed private collections, so - forever lost from sight as to legalize the purchase of such dubious owner will never be able to. Let us hope for the best. Also on the background of surprised that some Russian media have not really relevant to a number of Russian scientists, which, apparently, not having accurate information about the incident, claim that the Egyptian museum monuments did not suffer.
