Abstract

This paper discusses the daily-life objects of the others, i.e. the foreign enemies of Egypt and more specifically the Asiatics, Tjemehu-Libyans and Nubians. These daily-life objects like furniture, jewellery, plates, razors, clothes, etc. were mentioned or depicted in the New Kingdom textual and pictorial sources in the context of recording narratives of the wars as occurred in the Annals of King Thutmose III at Karnak or the scenes of booty of wars presentation to god Amun and his Triad after the royal victorious return loaded with objects he captured from his defeated enemies in the battlefield, after the destruction of their camp or their City Assault.
The present research argued that these daily-life objects can be considered as a clear and strong indication to the contemporaneous Ancient Near East, Libyan and Nubian cultures.
