In recent years, new areas of Egyptological research have opened up, and aspects briefly examined in the past have come under more concentrated focus. Chariot construction, harnesses and equipment, and the use of chariots, especially in battle, have been well-examined and understood, but the driving force of the chariot ? the horse ? has been overlooked, until now. This publication sheds light, for the first time, on the real origins of the Egyptian horse and tells the story of its journey to the valley of the Nile. Using the beauty and the informative detail contained in a myriad of tombs and temples, as well as the osteological evidence, Dr Turner has revealed the nature and appearance of the Egyptian horse and the changes that took place in it over time as the Egyptians mastered its use and adapted it to their specific needs.00As Egypt began to adapt to this new resource, ownership and use of the horse percolated through the social hierarchy from the pharaoh downwards. It avoided mundane uses and always remained a special creature, instilled with spirit, energy and prestige, and a particular source of pride for those fortunate enough to possess a chariot team. Egypt was irrevocably changed by the arrival of the horse, Equus Caballus. Aggressive kings used massed chariot divisions to create and expand Egypt's New Kingdom empire. New occupations and new logistical activities and technologies developed to support them, and the appreciation of the horse per se seeped into art and literature.

Ambigu, maléfique ou miraculeux, le chaudron est l'instrument domestique dans lequel réduit la drogue, cuit le repas cannibale, s'accomplissent le rajeunissement, l'immortalisation ou le meurtre. Dans l'ustensile est plongé l'enfant que, dans leur insolence, les pères offrent à l'appétit des Olympiens et que, dans leur jalousie, les mères servent à l'époux infidèle. Mais il reçoit aussi le vieillard que la magicienne prétend rendre à la petite enfance. La cuve de bronze est au centre des conflits qui, à l'aube de l'univers, lorsque les dieux côtoyaient les humains, se nouèrent autour du phantasme de la vie éternelle. Millénaires, les histoires de chaudron, bien avant que n'ait été élaboré un code juridique, narrent les périls de la transgression, régissent l'ordre du monde en réglementant la religion, le pouvoir, la famille et les prérogatives des sexes.
