Spanning five thousand years of history, the Egyptian civilization has always captivated and intrigued us. Even today, its origins, religion, and monumental architecture continue to withhold their secrets from Egyptologists determined to discover them by means of research and the painstaking deciphering of hieroglyphs. Around 3,000 BC, the valley of the Nile was taken by armies from Upper Egypt, who founded a powerful empire which resisted the onslaughts of history for three thousand years. Egypt owed its great prosperity to its natural resources: the Nile, and seemingly inexhaustible mines of gold, copper, and precious stones. The Nile, by fertilizing the land around its banks, provided the agricultural wealth which allowed the Egyptians to fuel a dynamic economy and create extensive trade relations with all the kingdoms of the Eastern Mediterranean. As the Egyptians increased their knowledge, and became the scholars of their time, Egypt saw major scientific progress in fields ranging from medicine and geography to astronomy and mathematics. They studied the stars, to align their buildings with the points of the compass, and their mathematicians worked on practical problems such as how to calculate the volum of a pyramid. In all fields relating to construction, this civilization demonstrated a particular genius. The greatest structures ever built, the pyramids were the fruit of unimaginably ambitious projects, and testify to the extraordinary talent and vision of this remarkable people. They took generations to build, and required the work of tens of thousands of laborers. They are the most famous monuments of the ancient world, and the only one of the Seven Wonders to have survived. Erected by the Pharaohs - the sovereigns of ancient Egypt - in their search for eternal life, the pyramids were designed to entomb them with their magnificent treasure. Thirty dynasties ruled the Empire in their turn, and the Pharaohs were regarded by their peoples as veritable gods. According to legend, they were succeeded by the god Horus, the first King of Egypt. As a tribue to the legends, the gods, and the enchantment of this civilization, ST Dupont has created a magical limited edition, faithfully reproducing the Egyptian codes of the god Horus, symbolized by a crowned falcon, and Isis and Nephtys around the holy scarab. This series features remarkable metalwork in pale gold - with cornices on the lighters, and the brilliance of Chinese  lacquer encrusted with malachite. It comprises two pocket lighters - a Line 2 and a small Line 2 - a Jeroboam table lighter, and two Olympio pens - ballpoint / propelling pencil and large fountain pen. The pocket lighters and pens are numbered up to 2575, in reference to 2572 BC, the approximate date of the construction of the first pyramid.   Place a Bid!
