"Preserving History: The Unsung Hero - The Trashbin" In the vast world of ancient artifacts and treasures, there lies a humble companion that often goes unnoticed - the trashbin. While not as glamorous or revered as the magnificent coffres, bins, and kistes depicted in Le Vocabulaire Illustre's engravings, this unassuming object plays a vital role in preserving history. Imagine yourself stepping into the grandeur of an Egyptian tomb. As you marvel at the two canopic jars used to safeguard Prince's internal organs, it is easy to overlook their faithful companion - the trashbin. Hidden away from prying eyes, it silently collects any remnants left behind during these sacred preservation rituals. Moving on to another exhibit, your gaze falls upon a majestic statue of King Auibra Hor with its gilt collar and mesmerizing inlaid eyes. Yet again, we tend to disregard what lies beneath our feet - a simple trashbin that dutifully holds any debris from restoration efforts or accidental spills. As you explore further into history's embrace, your attention is captivated by intricate details on statues like those of Prince Rahotep and his wife Nofret from Maidum. But let us not forget that even these masterpieces have been touched by imperfection over time, and is here where our trusty friend comes into play once more – collecting fragments chipped off during cleaning or repairs. And who could ever ignore one of Egypt's most iconic treasures? Behold. The mask of Tutankhamun gleams with gold and glass magnificence. However, hidden behind this resplendent visage lies yet another unsung hero – a trashbin patiently waiting for its duty to collect any residue left after meticulous conservation work. Even within Tutankhamun's tomb itself rests an unassuming canopic chest without its lid; it too relies on its loyal partner –the trashbin– to gather any remnants of the past.
