A curator and their team at the Metropolitan Museum of Art methodically went through their collection of Egyptian jewelry recovered from ancient tombs to learn as much as possible and determined that beads of lapis lazuli and turquoise were more highly prized in Egypt than were beads of amethyst and glass. However, the team also concluded that amethyst and glass were likely more readily available to Egyptian jewelry-makers, noting that -------Which choice most effectively uses data from the table to support the archival team's conclusions? the largest amount of jewelry was found in the tomb discovered in 1898, which suggests that during the period of time which that tomb dates back to, ancient Egypt was at its economical zenith. eliminateoverall, in the tombs discovered, the difference in the amounts of jewelry with each material suggests that amethyst and glass were easier for Egyptian jewelers to obtain than lapis lazuli and turquoise. eliminatein each of the tombs discovered, the difference in the amounts of jewelry with each material suggest that ancient Egyptians preferred jewelry made with glass and amethyst since those appeared in higher numbers.eliminatethe larger amounts of lapis lazuli and turquoise found in the tombs discovered in 1799 and 1813 than the ones discovered in 1881 and 1898 suggests that something happened which affected Egypt's access to precious stones in the time of the later tombs.

1. Discuss what was discovered inside the chambers mentioning specific arefacts and their importance. Work in groups to compile fact files of the burial goods found in each of the four chambers of the tomb:the Antechamber, Annexe, Burial Chamber and Treasury. Your fact file should contain informationabout a range of artefacts located in each chamber. Choose at least three categories from thefollowing:• jewellery• clothing• food and drink• burial furniture• furniture for everyday use• statues• toys and games• vases and lamps• cosmetics• royal regalia.For each artefact, provide a picture and a bullet-point description that includes the followinginformation: nature of the artefact, find spot, purpose, and materials it was made from.

adapted from Tombs of the First Egyptian Dynastyby Ludwig Borchardt, Ph.D.     For many years, various European collections of Egyptian antiquities have contained a certain series of objects which raised questions for archaeologists. There were vases of a peculiar form and color, greenish plates of slate, many of them in curious animal forms, and other similar objects. It was known that these objects had been found in Egypt, but it was impossible to assign them a place in the known periods of Egyptian art. The puzzle was made more difficult by certain plates of slate with hunting and battle scenes, and other representations in relief, in a style so strange that many investigators considered them products of the art of Western Asia.Petrie: Nile Excavation     The first light was thrown on the question in the winter of 1894-95 by the excavations of Flinders Petrie on the west bank of the Nile. There he discovered a very large necropolis in which he examined about three thousand graves. They all contained the same kinds of pottery and the same slate tablets mentioned above, and many other objects which did not seem to be Egyptian. Petrie assumed they represented the art of a foreign people—perhaps the Libyans—who had resided in Egypt in the time between the old and the middle kingdoms. However, his theory met with little approval, and in spite of much discussion among his colleagues, the question remained unanswered.Amelineau: Abydos Excavation     About the same time, another riddle presented itself to Egyptologists through the excavations in Abydos, by the scholar Amelineau. Amelineau excavated several large tombs and also found objects which could not be placed in the known development of Egyptian art. The scholar ascribed these to the dynasties of the demigods, who, according to Egyptian tradition, reigned before the kings. Of course, this idea also met with opposition. The mystery, however, would later be solved when someone noticed that a statue in the Gizeh Museum bore the same name, "Horus," as many of the pieces found by Amelineau. This accidental discovery made it evident that the pieces found during the excavation must be from the same period as the statue, which dates from the earliest period of Egyptian history. Later excavations proved the discovery dated to the oldest king and founder of the first Egyptian monarchy.7Read the following sentence from the passage.The puzzle was made more difficult by certain plates of slate with hunting and battle scenes, and other representations in relief, in a style so strange that many investigators considered them products of the art of Western Asia.How does the phrase a style so strange affect the tone of the passage? A. It conveys a mysterious tone that shows researchers have difficulty determining the origins of certain objects. B. It conveys a disillusioned tone that shows the frustration researchers feel about not being able to identify certain objects. C. It conveys a skeptical tone that shows researchers are unable to arrive at a unanimous decision. D. It conveys a sentimental tone that shows researchers remember small details about their finds.

4)While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:● Theodore Davis was a retired American lawyer and a successful excavator.● He had a huge fortune but no patience for scientific procedure.● Davis uncovered many intact tombs from the latter part of Egypt's great 18th RoyalDynasty, dating to 3,300 years ago.● He found the chambers of the Queen Tiye's parents, who lived in circa, from 1390 B.C.E.to 1353 B.C.E.● He also uncovered a mysterious tomb called KV55, with a treasure chest and a namelessmummy.● The mummy has been identified as Tiye's son, Akhenaten, who built a new capital cityin the desert at Amarna.

Archaeologists in Valencina, Spain uncovered an astonishingly elaborate tomb in 2008. A treasure trove of riches, including an African elephant tusk, fine flint, ostrich eggshells, and a rock crystal blade, was found inside the single-occupancy grave, which was unusual for the period. It contained a person who lived approximately 5,000 years ago, during the Iberian Copper Age, and was most likely between the ages of 17 and 25. Based on the assumption that the tomb belonged to a wealthy and influential person, experts named its occupant the "Ivory Man."6Mark for ReviewCross out answer choices you think are wrong.ABCWhich choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?AIt provides additional information about the age and social status of the individual buried in the ornate tomb.BIt emphasizes the significance and importance of the tomb and its contents.CIt explains the logic behind the designation given to the individual buried in the tomb.DIt speculates about the possible role of an individual within a particular community during the Iberian Copper Age.
