Summary

English summary: Egypt in Hildesheim: Treasures from the time of the Great Pyramids. The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is world famous. At the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists found the tombs of the pharaoh's nobility in its neighbourhood - full of extraordinary works of art from the time of the old Kingdom - more than 4,000 years old. Wilhelm Pelizaeus, a merchant from Hildesheim, sponsored the excavations. Due to his financial sponsorship, the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim today boasts one of the most important collections from the time of the great pyramids in the whole world. This volume accompanies the permanent exhibition that has been redesigned and brings to life again all those men working for the pharaoh, showing their belief that after dying and transcending death, they would live eternally in the company of their ruler and the gods. German text. German description: Agpyten in Hildesheim: Schatze aus der Zeit der grossen Pyramiden. Die Cheops-Pyramide von Giza ist weltberuhmt. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts stiess man in ihrer Nahe auf Graber von Beamten des Pharaos, die grossartige Kunstobjekte aus der Zeit des Alten Reichs enthielten - weit uber 4000 Jahre alt. Der Hildesheimer Kaufmann Wilhelm Pelizaeus finanzierte die Ausgrabungen. Dank seines Mazenatentums besitzt das Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim heute eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Sammlungen aus der Zeit der grossen Pyramiden. Dieser Begleitband zur neugestalteten Dauerausstellung lasst die Welt der Manner im Umkreis des Pharaos lebendig werden und offenbart ihre Uberzeugung, nach Uberwindung des Todes zu ewigem Leben in Gemeinschaft ihres Herrschers und der Gotter zu gelangen.
