Summary
| Description | This beautiful gold pectoral of pharaoh Amenemope before the god Osiris was found in Amenemope's burial within a chamber of king Psusennes I's intact NRT III's tomb at Tanis, Egypt. The Dynasty 21 Egyptian kings Psusennes I and Amenemope and the later Dynasty 22 king Shoshenq II along with General Wendjebauendjed were buried in Psusennes I's NRT III tomb chambers beneath the paving of the temple of Amun in Tanis, where they lay forgotten until their rediscovery by Pierre Montet in 1939. Unlike Tutankhamun's tomb which was briefly robbed twice by grave robbers in antiquity, Psusennes I's NRT III totally escaped detection by tomb robbers even while the neighbouring tomb of king Osorkon II at NRT I was plundered by tomb robbers. This photo was personally taken by Aidan McRae Thomson of the United Kingdom. |
