摘要

古典学、埃及学和实验考古学的结合被用来重现女王克利奥帕特拉七世使用的著名香水。特别重要的是利用古典来源和古植物学来确定埃及圣油的身份，如樟脑和巴兰油。Tell Timai遗址的挖掘揭示了一个香水厂，它有助于我们重现香水制造过程。这种古老的“门德斯”香水后来在实验室中被重新创造，在史密森学会展出，并在数千年来首次再次佩戴。

Eau de Cleopatra

A combination of Classics, Egyptology, and experimental archaeology were utilized to recreate the (in)famous perfume used by Queen Cleopatra VII. Especially important was the use of classical sources and paleobotany to determine the identity of the Egyptian sacred oils such as camphor and balanos. Excavations at the site of Tell Timai revealed a perfumery that contributed to our ability to recreate the process of perfume manufacture. This ancient “Mendesian” perfume has since been recreated in the lab, exhibited at the Smithsonian, and worn again for the first time in millennia.

The heritage of its peoples -- from urban civilization to the Bible -- both inspires and fascinates. Near Eastern Archaeology brings to life the ancient world from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean with vibrant images and authoritative analyses.
