This video shows a gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art which displays objects from Malqata!
In order to celebrate his Heb Sed Festival πππ΄π§ππ±π³πͺ, the pharaoh ππ» Amenhotep III π³π§π built a new palace ππππ₯π which was referred to as βThe House of Rejoicingβ at present day Malqata in Egypt ππ ππ. The Heb Sed Festival πππ΄π§ππ±π³πͺ, also known as the β30 Year Jubilee,β was meant to celebrate the 30th year of a pharaohβs ππ» reign πΎππ.Β
In this display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, there are many different amphoras π ππππͺ! Amphoras π ππππͺ are a special type of pottery π πππ that have a pointed bottom and two π» handles that were used for the storage and transport of various things in the ancient world!
Ancient Egyptian amphoras π ππππͺ, such as these one found at Malqata, were usually made of red π§πππ clay πͺππ΄π and then covered with a cream colored coat. They were then painted ππ with blue ππΉππΏπΈπ₯, red π§πππ , or black ππ paint π¨ππ ±ππΈπ¦.
You can also see various wall paintings that once adorned the palace ππππ₯π walls at Malqata! I canβt even imagine how beautiful π€ππ and colorful this palace ππππ₯π once was!Β I hope you enjoyed seeing these objects from Malqata!
