Michael C. Carlos Museum, Emory University: Ancient Egyptian Collection
"The Carlos Museum's Egyptian collection includes objects from the Predynastic period down to the Roman occupation. First and foremost,
it illustrates the funerary beliefs and practices of the ancient Egyptians: the need for the preservation of the body and for burial with the
proper funerary equipment. While this might seem to suggest that the Egyptians were obsessed with death, it must be remembered that such an
impression is partly due to archaeological factors. The Egyptians buried their dead in the desert, while they lived their lives in cities and
villages near the river. It is easier to excavate in dry sand than in areas where work is hampered by a high water table and by present-day
occupation. Nevertheless, objects of everyday life are represented in the Carlos Museum's collection, thanks to the Egyptians' habit of
placing such items in their tombs for use in the afterlife."
