EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary ancient artifact that takes us back in time to the 9th Dynasty of Egypt, around 2160 BC. The model depicted here is a remarkable representation of beer brewing in Meketra, offering a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and customs of this ancient civilization. Crafted with meticulous detail, this tomb model unveils the intricate process of beer production during that era. It portrays an essential aspect of Egyptian culture as brewing was not only a practical skill but also held religious significance. Beer played a vital role in rituals and offerings to deities, making it an integral part of their spiritual practices. The monarchs or pharaohs were highly revered figures who often associated themselves with deities. This tomb model serves as evidence for their involvement even in mundane activities like brewing beer. It highlights how deeply intertwined religion and everyday life were for these ancient Egyptians. Through this image, we are transported to Meketra's past where skilled artisans meticulously crafted such models to accompany the deceased on their journey into the afterlife. These models served as symbolic representations ensuring continuity and prosperity beyond death. Thanks to Universal Images Group (UIG), we have access to this exceptional photograph that allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such models and gain insights into ancient Egyptian society's rich cultural heritage.
