古埃及文物之多媒體創作－以圖坦卡門法老為例

Abstract

摘 要

埃及，一個古老又神秘的文明國度，洪水氾濫的尼羅河孕育出吉薩金字塔及神廟建築、寫實又具幾何形狀的雕刻藝術及如謎樣的木乃伊製作，這些偉大建築及雕刻藝術即使到了五千年以後的今天仍是非常值得我們去探索。

大約在三千三百年以前，一個在埃及來不及寫下輝煌歷史的法老—圖坦卡門，卻安息了幾千年後完好無缺的出土，成為王陵谷中碩果僅存的法老，而陪同圖坦卡門出土的不僅是大量的金銀財寶，更引人入勝的是戴在法老臉上的黃金面具。他的棺木裝在一個貨櫃箱的木箱中，內部填滿各項藝術品、雕像及黃金珠寶，其中最著名的是黃金面具及黃金的木乃伊棺木。(棺木是由200多斤黃金打造的！)

這樣一個已經存在至少五千多年的文明，仍在歷史中繼續延伸，孕育著埃及文明的尼羅河，也仍舊澎湃清澈；而圖坦卡門法老之死因，至今仍是科學家與考古學家的熱衷議題。此法老著名的陪葬品黃金面具對Art Deco設計風格的影響很大，其以金色、白色、黑色三色為主色，對稱簡單的風格，塑造出高貴華麗的氣質，對當時的建築物設計及平面設計影響很大。

本創作以圖坦卡門的黃金面具為研究主軸，結合史學、藝術及科技三大領域，將古埃及偉大文明的風貌以多媒體的方式呈現，透過數位化的方式，介紹埃及地圖、王朝年代表、金字塔介紹、圖坦卡門墓室、死者之書等五大部分，引領大家進入神秘的古埃及文化。希望此多媒體作品能使呆版的文獻資料更加生動活潑，且讓瀏覽者能夠迅速地欣賞、探索埃及。其中圖坦卡門墓室單元--法老陪葬品部份，利用3D動畫軟體MAYA建模型、貼圖、作動畫，以虛擬博物館理念製作，將古埃及文物賦予新生命達到文化傳承的目的且具有教育意義。

開放性彈性系統架構的設計，未來將可轉化本創作所研製的學習教材內容，後置成為影音光碟、影視節目或數位照片之格式等加值商品。研究者希望能創造數位學習新典範，提供高品質的數位學習內容，便於文物的欣賞、教學、研究、展示等服務，並運用於未來加值應用推廣，將有助於數位學習的推展，以因應政府推廣的e-learning計畫。

ABSTRACT

Egypt is an old, mysterious and civilized nation. The flooded Nile river gestated Gisa pyramids, temples, realistic and geometrical carvings, and secret mummies. Till now, these great architectures and carvings are worth to explore.

It was about 3,300 years ago that the Egyptian Pharaoh-Tutankhamun died abruptly before he had time to record his feats in history. Only recently his mummy was unearthed without any blemish together with him were treasures of precious jewelry, gold, silver, etc. What fascinates people was the story behind his gold mask.

His coffin was put in a wood box of the container. It was filled in the works of art、carved statues and gold jewels. The most famous was the gold mask and the gold mummy coffin. (The coffin was made of gold which was more than 200 kg.)

The civilization which lasted at least 5, 000 years still continued to stretch in history. The Nile river gestating Egyptian civilization was still in an upsurge. The cause of Tutankhamun’s death was the main subject of discussion for the scientists and archeologists. The pharaoh’s famous mortuary objects-gold mask which had a great influence on the Art Deco style; unusually, it’s master color were gold color, white color and black color. The symmetrical and simple style molded a noble and gorgeous character. At that time, it had a great influence on the building designing and the graphic designing.

In my art works, with the gold mask of Tutankhamun to be the main shaft, I combine the historical science, art and technology to display the old Egyptian civilization in multimedia. In my idea, I want to be in the status of a historian and a designer to research the gold mask of Tutankhamun. Through the digital way, I introduce the Egyptian map, the dynasties, the building of pyramids, the coffin chamber of Tutankhamun, and books of the dead. Looking forward to introducing the mysteries of old Egyptian culture to you.

I hope the multimedia works can make the boring documents more interesting and let the spectators can enjoy and explore Egypt quickly. In the unit of the coffin chamber of Tutankhamun, I use the 3D computer animation software MAYA to create polygons, to paste textures, and to create animations. I depend on the idea of virtual museum to give old Egyptian antique new life and to reach the purpose of communicating culture which possesses of the meaning of education.

The elastic design can transform the learning material to be the value-added goods such as CD, film or digital photos. I want to create the new pattern of digital learning to provide high quality content of digital learning for the appreciation, teaching, research, and exhibition and making use of value-added popularization in the future. It would be conducive to the promotion and fulfill the e-learning plan popularized by the government.
