Shambles, an old street in York, England; and one of best-preserved Medieval Shopping Streets in Europe. With its cobbled streets and overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back as far as 14th Century AD.

As recently as 1885 AD, thirty-one butchers" shops were located along street, but now none remain. Although butchers have now vanished, a number of shops on street still have meat-hooks hanging outside and, below them, shelves on which meat was displayed. Street was made narrow by design to keep meat out of direct sunlight.

This Roman Merchant Shipwreck was discovered off coast of Kefalonia, Greece. The 35m long ship was carrying about 6000 Amphorae (Terracotta Vases) that consisted of goods such as wine, olive oil, grains and other foodstuffs.

This massive ship sailed Mediterranean between 100 BC - 100 AD, transporting goods within Roman Empire. It is unknown why ship sank.

Shipwreck has potential to yield a wealth of information about shipping routes, trading, amphorae hull stowage and ship construction during that period

Head of a Leopard with Cartouche of Tutankhamun

The tomb of Tutankhamun contained many leopard heads like this gilded one. This head differs from others in having the king’s cartouche incised atop its head. The leopard head adorned a garment that imitated the animal’s skin. This was the distinctive garment of the Sem priest.

The leopard’s body and fur were particularly valuable in ancient Egypt: its fur was worn by the Sem priests performing the ritual of the Opening of the Mouth ritual and often by the king in ceremonies.

The Trier Gold Hoard is a hoard of 2516 gold coins with a weight of 18.5 kg, found in Trier, Germany, in September 1993 during construction works, nearly 1800 years after it was hidden. It is described as the largest preserved Roman gold hoard worldwide.
Greater inspection revealed that it was not simply someone"s personal fortune but most likely an official treasury. The treasury had been carefully administered and had grown over time. The Hoard equated to the annual salary of around 130 Roman soldiers.
The aurei (gold coins) feature a total of 27 emperors, empresses and members of the imperial family, and some are still considered unique to this day. The gold coins were buried in a cellar during a civil war in 196 AD.

🇪🇬😳 ¿CONOCÍAS A ESTA REINA DEL ANTIGUO EGIPTO QUE SE CONVIRTIÓ EN FARAÓN?

Hatshepsut: La Gran Reina Faraón del Antiguo Egipto

En las brumosas y misteriosas arenas del antiguo Egipto, una figura extraordinaria emerge de la historia, desafiando las convenciones de su época y dejando una huella imborrable en el imperio del Nilo. Su nombre era Hatshepsut, una mujer valiente y visionaria que se convertiría en una de las reinas faraón más notables de Egipto.

El Origen de una Reina

Hatshepsut nació alrededor del año 1507 a.C., en la dinastía XVIII del Antiguo Egipto. Su padre era Thutmose I, y su madre, Ahmose, provenía de una familia noble. Desde su nacimiento, Hatshepsut estaba destinada a desempeñar un papel fundamental en la historia de Egipto.

Sin embargo, su ascenso al trono no fue directo. Después de la muerte de Thutmose I, su medio hermano Thutmose II se convirtió en faraón. Hatshepsut se casó con él, pero su esposo murió temprano, dejando el trono a su hijo Thutmose III, quien era solo un niño en ese momento. Aquí es donde comienza la extraordinaria historia de Hatshepsut.

La Reina que Desafió al Tiempo

Ante la perspectiva de ser relegada al papel de regente en nombre de su joven sobrino, Hatshepsut tomó una decisión audaz y controvertida. En el año 1479 a.C., se coronó a sí misma faraón de Egipto, adoptando todos los atributos masculinos que el título conllevaba. Aunque no fue la primera mujer en gobernar Egipto, su reinado fue excepcional en su duración y en sus logros.

Hatshepsut gobernó durante más de dos décadas, y su gobierno estuvo marcado por una paz y prosperidad sin precedentes en el antiguo Egipto. Fomentó el comercio con tierras lejanas, enviando expediciones a la misteriosa tierra de Punt en busca de incienso y otros recursos exóticos. Bajo su dirección, la arquitectura y las artes florecieron, dejando monumentos espectaculares como el Templo de Deir el-Bahari, una maravilla arquitectónica que todavía asombra a los visitantes hoy en día.

El Templo de Deir el-Bahari

Además de su reinado notable, Hatshepsut es famosa por el impresionante Templo de Deir el-Bahari en Tebas Occidental. Este templo, dedicado a la diosa Hathor, es conocido por su arquitectura innovadora y su ubicación en un acantilado, lo que lo hace único en su tipo en el Antiguo Egipto.

Estilo de Vestimenta Único

Como faraón, Hatshepsut adoptó una apariencia masculina, incluyendo la vestimenta y el uso de una falsa barba ceremonial. Estas representaciones han desconcertado a los historiadores y arqueólogos, pero también revelan su determinación para consolidar su autoridad.

Redescubrimiento de su Tumba

Durante siglos, la ubicación de la tumba de Hatshepsut permaneció desconocida. Fue redescubierta en el siglo XIX, pero su momia nunca se encontró. Esto ha llevado a teorías sobre su posible destino, incluyendo la idea de que fue eliminada intencionalmente de la historia.

Campañas de Comercio a Punt

Uno de los logros más notables de su reinado fue la expedición a Punt, una tierra misteriosa conocida por sus valiosos recursos. Las inscripciones en Deir el-Bahari muestran a los egipcios intercambiando regalos con los habitantes de Punt, incluyendo especias, incienso y ébano.

Los Obeliscos Gemelos

Hatshepsut ordenó la construcción de dos obeliscos gemelos en el Templo de Karnak. Cada uno de ellos pesaba varias toneladas y fue transportado desde una cantera lejana. Estos obeliscos son un testimonio de la habilidad y el ingenio de la ingeniería egipcia antigua.

El Legado de una Gran Reina Faraón

El reinado de Hatshepsut dejó un legado perdurable en la historia de Egipto. Aunque intentaron borrar su nombre de la historia, su legado se ha mantenido intacto. Es recordada como una líder excepcional que desafió las normas de género de su época y dejó un imperio más fuerte y próspero.

Después de su muerte en el año 1458 a.C., Thutmose III finalmente asumió el pleno poder, pero reconoció el impacto positivo del reinado de Hatshepsut. A menudo se le representa como un faraón en los registros históricos, junto a su tía y antecesora. El respeto a su memoria se refleja en la preservación de sus monumentos y tumbas, lo que permite que su historia perdure

Knocking at Death’s Door: A Sculpture by Giovanni Battista Cevasco

In this poignant artwork created in 1875 by Giovanni Battista Cevasco, a widow is depicted knocking on death"s door with one hand, while holding a wreath of victory in the other. The wreath symbolizes triumph over death, representing resurrection and renewal.

The widow in the sculpture is identified as the wife of Pietro Badaracco, a person of wealth as indicated by her attire. Above the door, various symbols are depicted, including a compass, an anchor, books, a globe, and a ship"s helm, alluding to the deceased"s occupation as a captain of a ship or shipping fleet. The door-knocker itself bears a winged hourglass, symbolizing the fleeting nature of time.
