介绍（中）	在古埃及历史的大部分时间里，食物和饮料被放置在坟墓中，为死者的灵魂提供食物。在17世纪末和18世纪初，食品被木乃伊化并储存在与其内容物形状相呼应的盒子中。这个容器雕刻成鸽子的形状，外面涂有抹灰和白色，内部涂有某种树脂。一旦一只鸟的干燥和亚麻布包裹的遗骸被放入里面，两半就粘在一起，并用一条亚麻布条绑住。这是一大堆"胜利木乃伊"之一，其中包括各种肉类和家禽，在底比斯地块悬崖上的一个小竖井墓中和周围发现。大约10米外，隐藏在一块大岩石下，是18王朝皇室孩子阿梅内姆哈特的重新埋葬（见19.3.207a，b）;这些来世的物资可能是他最初埋葬的一部分。
介绍（英）	During much of ancient Egyptian history, food and drink was placed in tombs to provide sustenance for the spirit of the deceased. In the late 17th and early 18th dynasties, foodstuffs were mummified and stored in boxes that echoed the shape of their contents. Carved in the shape of a pigeon, this container was plastered and painted white on the outside, with the interior coated with some sort of resin. Once the desiccated and linen-wrapped remains of a bird had been put inside, the two halves were stuck together and tied closed with a strip of linen. This was one of a large collection of "victual mummies," which included a variety of meats and fowl, found in and around a small shaft tomb high in the cliffs of the Theban massif. About 10 meters away, hidden beneath a large rock, was the re-burial of an 18th Dynasty royal child named Amenemhat (see 19.3.207a, b); these supplies for the afterlife may have been part of his original burial.
