EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring back rest of Tutankhamun's throne, a priceless artifact from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Dating back to the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, around 1361-1352 BC, this throne once supported the seat of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, a young ruler who reigned during the latter part of the New Kingdom period. The intricately designed throne back rest is adorned with gold, a material synonymous with royalty and wealth in ancient Egypt. The intricate patterns and motifs etched onto the gold surface depict various mythological scenes, including the goddess Hathor, symbolizing love, beauty, and music, and the god Amun-Ra, the king of gods. Pharaoh Tutankhamun's reign was marked by a revival of the Amarna religion, which focused on the worship of the sun god Aten. This is reflected in the throne's design, with the sun disk and solar rays prominently featured. The throne's back rest is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of ancient Egypt. It is a reminder of the rich history and the grandeur of the Egyptian civilization, which continues to captivate the world's imagination. This photograph, taken at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this ancient artifact. The throne back rest of Tutankhamun is a symbol of power, wealth, and divine kingship, and a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, or ancient civilizations.
