Birds Identified In Ancient Egyptian Mural 3300 Years After It Was Painted
<p>More than 100 years ago, a team of archaeologists excavating the North Palace in the Egyptian city of Amarna unearthed a 3,300 year old wall painting of birds and wildlife in a lush marsh that was so carefully observed and skilfully rendered that it is possible to identify the species depicted.</p>
<p>This lavish mural, filled with images of water lilies, papyrus plants and birds is often described as “a masterpiece”. It decorated the walls of “a relaxation chamber”, now referred to as the “Green Room”, within the palace. The Green Room was probably designed to create a serene sensory experience for rest and relaxation by Princess Meritaten and her staff.</p>
