... sind wohl Zweifel berechtigt das es sich tatsächlich um eine neu entdeckte Kapelle im Karnak Tempel handeln könnte, wie Jane Akshar, aus meiner Sicht, in ihrem Blog suggeriert :

" Two Discoveries in Luxor [...]

"Ahram Online" (Nevine El-Aref, 21.04.2018) berichtet über die feierliche Enthüllung einer weiteren rekonstruierten Kolossal-Statue Ramses II vor dem Pylon des Luxor Tempels. Sie besteht aus schwarzem Granit, wiegt 65 Tonnen und ist 11,7 Meter hoch. Die Statue zeigt Ramses II stehend, mit der Doppelkrone.

Durch ein Erdbeben in der Antike zerstört, wurden die 14 unterschiedlich großen Teile der Statue (gefunden in den Jahren 1958 bis 1960) in sechs Monaten in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Ingenieurbüro [...]

Fast alle Objekte die Howard Carter im 1922 entdeckten Grab des Tutanchamun im Tal der Könige fand wurden nach Kairo in das Ägyptische Museum am Tahrir Platz gebracht. Im Grab selbst verblieben lediglich der aüßere der drei anthropoiden Särge mit der Mumie und ein paar Vorratsgefäße und Körbe (in der Seitenkammer, der sogenannten "Schatzkammer").

122 Artefakte, darunter Körbe, Kisten, ein Holzstuhl, ein Bett, ein Streitwagen und ein paar Uschebtis, wurden dem Luxor Museum übergeben. Einige der [...]

Das Anwerfen der Werbetrommel seitens " Discovery Channel " für eine noch in diesem Jahr geplante Ausstrahlung einer Dokumentation mit exklusivem Filmmaterial von den Arbeiten eines ägyptischen Teams im Westtal des Tals der Könige (siehe auch " Ä-Blatt vom 13.01.2018 "), nährt erneut die Spekulationen über ein oder sogar mehrere neu entdeckte Gräber :

Durch den Fund weiterer Bruchstücke (ca. 4500) einer Kolossalstatue Psammetich`s I. (siehe dazu auch " Ä-Blatt " vom 09.03.2017  &  10.10.2017) während der ägyptisch-deutschen Grabung in Cairo, Matariya (Iunw / Heliopolis) wurde es möglich Aussehen und ungefähre Größe der Statue digital zu rekonstruieren :

(Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters) Researchers from China and USA reported a new lacewing species (green lacewing larvae) based on two larvae from the Cretaceous Burmese amber (approximately 100 million years old). These larvae are anatomically modified to mimic coeval liverworts. This discovery represents the first record of liverwort mimicry by fossil insects and brings to light an evolutionary novelty, both in terms of morphological specialization as well as plant-insect interaction.

(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) A new article in the journal Science provides guidance for those intending to study ancient human remains in the Americas. The paper, written by indigenous scholars and scientists and those who collaborate with Indigenous communities on studies of ancient DNA, offers a clear directive to others contemplating such research: first, do no harm.

(Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona) Inhabitants of the Neolithic community at la Draga already used fungi to light or transport fires 7,300 years ago. The discovery represents one of the oldest examples of technological use of fungi documented until now and is the result of several archaeological interventions at the site, which have also yielded an exceptional collection of these organisms, unique in all of prehistoric Europe.

(Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History) Working closely with Wanniyalaeto (Vedda) elders in Sri Lanka during the repatriation of skeletal remains, a team of researchers have demonstrated that while some indigenous hunter-gatherers in Sri Lanka made use of agricultural resources and trade connections with farmers and colonial power structures, others continued to subsist primarily on tropical forest resources as late as the 19th century.

(Purdue University) An ancient horse burial at Tombos along the Nile River Valley shows that a member of the horse family thousands of years ago was more important to the culture than previously thought, which provides a window into human-animal relationships more than 3,000 years ago.
