Book Review: Himmlisch! Die Eisenobjekte aus dem Grab des Tutanchamun

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The never-ending stream of new publications means that some important ones get unnoticed. This slender and elegant volume brings together the most complete published data on the iron artefacts from the burial equipment of King Tutankhamun (Tomb KV 62).

It was not cited in the latest discussion of the ancient Egyptian iron in the JEA, therefore it is necessary to raise awareness about this book and stress its importance for the research of Egyptian ironwork and metallurgy.
