This exhibition presents treasures from the tombs of three Egyptian noblemen dating from around 2000 BC: servant figures, jewellery, sticks, weapons and - of particular significance in this exhibition - richly decorated coffins. Photographer Ole Haupt has succeeded in opening the coffins and with specially adapted mirrors he has photographed the decorations. His pictures, which are shown in this catalogue, make it possible to present almost the same view that the Egptian painter had when he executed his colorful works on the, as yet, unassembled coffins 4000 years ago. The inscriptions have been made available in their original language and in a translation at the conclusion of the book. Includes Map of Egypt, Chronological Overview, Exhibits from the three tombs, Glossary, and Abbreviations.
