1350 bce

Communication

A wooden torso left in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen (Egypt) at this time is the earliest known clothing dummy and the ancestor of the fashion mannequin.

Construction

Tree-ring dating shows that a large platform constructed of oak in the shallow waters of Flag Fen (near Peterborough, England) is built about this time. The platform is built on an artificial island and surrounded with a boardwalk. At one end, bronze tools appear to have been thrown into the fen as sacrifices. Although the purpose of the platform is not certain, it is thought that it guarded access to land claimed by the builders for farming.

Materials

Pots of perfume sealed in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen in 1352 bce are still fragrant when opened in 1922, the product of the powerful perfume industry in Egypt. See also 2000 bce Materials.

Transportation

A freighter loaded with 10 tons of copper in more than 350 ingots, as well as tin, a ton of resins used in making perfume, blue glass disks, and scrap gold and silver, as well as miscellaneous treasures, such as hippopotamus teeth, amber, tortoise shells, and ostrich eggs, is wrecked at what we now call Ulu Buron on the south coast of Asia Minor (near Kas, Turkey).
