Passeggiando per le sale dei musei, questi reperti sono molto comuni, ma presentano una variabilità estrema per aspetto, dimensioni, forme e materiali. Com’erano fatti? Da chi? Per chi? E, perché no, quanto costavano?Per rispondere a queste e altre domande, nella puntata di Kemet di questa settimana Federica ospita Stefania Mainieri, egittologa dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli “L’Orientale” e ricercatrice raffinata, specializzata proprio nello studio dei sarcofagi. Insieme scoperchieremo un vero e proprio sarcofago (ehm, vaso) di Pandora per esplorare l’intrigante caleidoscopio delle tipologie di questi importanti prodotti della cultura funeraria egiziana.
Non perdetevi questo approfondimento alla scoperta di un altro tassello dell’archeologia dell’antico Egitto e come sempre continuate a seguirci!
