Golden shrine in the antechamber of Tutankhamun's tomb, Egypt, 1933-1934.

Golden shrine in the antechamber of Tutankhamun's tomb, Egypt, 1933-1934. Embossed with scenes representing incidents in the lives of the departed Pharaoh and his queen. A wooden Ushabti figure stands on the left. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter (1874-1939) was one of the most astounding discoveries in archaeology. Tutankhamun was a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been eradicated from historical records by one of his successors because of his association with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten, who was Tutankhamun's father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers. A print from "Wonders of the Past", Volume I, 1933-1934.. Stunning Photo Gifts From Heritage Images
