Statue of Tutankhamun

Statue of Tutankhamun

Hidden beneath the floor of the grand Temple of Amun at Karnak for more than 3,200 years, this statue is one of a pair that likely flanked a gateway or entranceway. Its inscription describes Tutankhamun as the divine ruler who restored traditional religion: “the good god who founded Thebes, upheld good laws, and maintained order.” Dynasty 18, reign of Tutankhamun 1332–1322 BCE
