Canopic Jars of Egypt

- During my expedition to Egypt, I collected a LOT of really cool items from the souvenir shops, but the most awesome pieces were those crafted by local artisans.
This set of Canopic jars is over 100 years old and comes from an alabaster factory in Luxor. They also have an alabaster box, which is extremely rare, but still authentic to the period.
Canopic jars were part of the mummification and burial process of mummies in ancient Egypt. Each jar held one of the deceased's internal organs.

That trip to Egypt looked Fascinating! How Cool it must be to walk through such Ancient+Sacred places.One of the buildings was very bright,colorfull inside- with all those beautifull painting along the walls/ceilings.I'll need to rewatch that video just for the love of learning.oh my! That desert looked scortching! You were overheating+sunburned for sure.
Anyway I have your Angel Tarot deck+The Occult Deck. Love them both! Amazing attention to detaeils on both Travis,great job!** Bright Blessings~
Crazy, I am the first person to view this. Thanks Travis for the video, that is a cool find. How did you know that these were hundreds of years old?
They were carved by the owner's grandfather and had been in the shop since around 1930, so just under 100 years old. But the paint application was more recent, in the 1990s, because the original had started to wear off.
The new paint is waterproof (and probably lead-based) so it's not going anywhere.
@@travismchenry I would have estimated 1920s/30s for these reproductions as well. They definitely have an art deco look to me.
They are stunning. That was a great video. Kind of glad the Antiquities police are making sure no genuine artifacts are being smuggled out. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I've only ever seen this written down before and I always assumed that the god Hapi's name wasn't pronounced the same as the word "Happy". I'm very amused to hear that it actually was.
Were they actually large enough to hold the actual organ? The lungs for instance, would seem to need more volume. Or were the organs desiccated and embalmed as well?
Yes, the organs were embalmed separately, and sometimes, only a large piece of them would be inside. However, there were larger jars as well, so some were designed to hold an entire set of lungs, or even the whole string of intestines.
