The tomb of pharaoh Ramses VI
"Under a campaign titled experience Egypt from home. stay home. stay safe, the Egyptian government has launched a series of virtual tours of the country’s most famed museums and archaeological sites giving visitors the opportunity to experience their ancient heritage from home. known as KV9, and first discovered in 1898, you can virtually tour pharaoh’s Ramses VI tomb from anywhere thanks to this remarkable 3D virtual tour."
The virtual tour of Pharaoh Ramses VI was an excellent opportunity to gain some visual inspiration to expand upon my research I'd undertaken previously into ancient Egypt and it's symbolism. The markings that envelop the walls of the tomb are beautifully reminiscent of authentic ancient Egyptian culture and gaining inspiration through these means feels much more intimate and legitimate than a simple google search. Many of the Gods and Goddesses I'd read up about to feed my practise research were featured in the drawings within the tomb, among many I'd not yet discovered. The exhibition was incredibly useful and interesting, leading me to conduct further research into ancient Egypt and its Pharaoh's, temples and tombs. Reading into and investigating this topic will inform my practice both in regards to the visual symbolism I feature in my work and the meanings behind these, aiding me in telling my story through my paintings.
