Wonderful Things: 12 Fabulous Artifacts from Ancient Egypt

The topic

Canadian Egyptologist Lyn Green discusses a dozen superb artifacts from Ancient Egypt, which she has curated from collections around the world. Each offers a fresh perspective on practices, rituals, or the world view of people who lived so many centuries ago along the Nile.

Each object in this visually rich presentation is an exquisite example of ancient Egyptian artistry at its height. Most have not been widely published and may, indeed, be new to many of you.
