Strange antiquities were discovered in the Nile cemetery
1. Tombstone in the Nile cemetery
In 2002, scientists discovered these strange shaped wormholes leading down to an underground tomb.This is an unusual thing in the time when the ancients used common pyramids.These special tombs have no architectural part on the surface.The inner treasure for historians and archaeologists knows the time when the kingdom existed and the rite of the time.This 2,000-year-old kingdom is called Kush.Like most other civilizations of the era, the Kush civilization developed on the banks of the Nile.
2. The box of 'demon eyes'
It is a special ceramic box with light blue and yellow colors, decorated with two large stones symbolizing the eyes.The ancient Kush believed that this box protected them from evil.This is also the symbol mentioned in Egyptian legend - 'Horus' eyes.This Egyptian symbol represents protection, extraordinary royal power and health.
3. Silver rings
A silver ring engraved with a godly figure with horns found in the treasure is evidence that the Kush people buried valuable items when they died to have a comfortable life when they went to the afterlife.Experts said that the silver ring engraved with the spirit of Amun of Egypt - the god with the head of a sheep.At that time, silver was considered rare as gold.This silver ring is used as a seal on wet clay.
4. Banquet tray 7 serving party
This is a unique discovery.The 7-bowl tray is used to hold 7 different types of food.Experts believe that this tray is capable of being used to store real food when buried with the owner.The Kush people do this because they believe that the food is not only a treasure but also the soul of the deceased.
5. Ceramic jars containing beer
Experts say that the old people conceived the souls of the dead not only need food but also drinks.Many large jars of beer are found in cemeteries, lined up in rows of 3 or 6 bottles.Experts believe that the above jars contain sorghum beer - a grassy plant that grows in warm climates like the Nile areas that flow through.
6. Arrowheads
A grave containing arrowheads shows that its owner is an archer respected by people when he is alive.This seems to be a unique custom of ancient civilizations when burying symbols symbolizing the occupation of the dead in the grave.In addition, archery at that time was highly regarded.Ancient archers were often used by royalty, many kings and queens were also excellent archers.
7. Ring archers
Beside the arrowhead, the tomb also has a stone ring, also called the archer ring.This is another proof that the deceased's occupation is an archer.Archers usually wear this ring on the thumb to pull the bow, aiming the target.Many members of the royal family were buried with archer rings.This shows that the kingdom of Kush pays great attention to archery skills
