当地时间2018年2月3日,埃及考古队在埃及开罗南郊吉萨高地发现一座古王国女祭司的坟墓,内有保存良好的罕见的壁画。
据悉,该古墓坐落于著名的吉萨金字塔群附近、吉萨西部的古代大墓地,可能属于古埃及第5王朝时期一个名为赫特佩特(Hetpet)的女子,她或为与当时王室有密切关系的女祭司。
1909年的时候,一支德国考古队,也发现了带着这位女祭司名字的文物,随后这些文物都被转移到了柏林博物馆。
考古学家与工作人员在地表上移走约250至350立方米的泥土,才找到这位女祭司的长眠之地。
古埃及人相信,女神可保佑女性平安生产,她也同时掌管音乐和舞蹈。
墓室有保存状况良好的壁画,描绘海特佩特出席渔猎活动、接受贡品的画面,其中还有宠物猴子采水果、跳舞的场景。
全盛时期的古埃及,人们热衷於学习各种形而上学,作者有条不紊,完整地把当时大祭司与法老的教导记录下来,并将它公诸於世,《古埃及女祭司的灵魂旅程》
The tomb is well-preserved and features impressive paintings, mostly depicting Hetpet hunting and fishing. Other paintings show images of dancing, singing, and even monkeys — which were commonly kept as pets at the time. However, monkey paintings are extremely uncommon. In one instance, the animals are shown picking fruit and carrying a basket, while in another, a monkey is dancing in front of an orchestra. This is only the second painting of a dancing monkey found in Egypt — the first one dating from the 12th century BCE, more than 3,000 years later.
