EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the majesty and grandeur of Tutankhamun's Gold Throne, an exquisite artifact from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt's New Kingdom, dating back to around 1332-1322 BC. The throne, now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, is a testament to the wealth and power of the Egyptian civilization during this ancient age. The throne is adorned with intricate gold and semi-precious stone decorations, including calcite, lapis lazuli, and glass inlays. The seat is covered in gold, with feline forms and the image of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun himself, depicted with the Falcon God Horus on his head, symbolizing his divine kingship. The throne's arms are in the form of two lion statues, adding to its regal appearance. Tutankhamun's reign marked a return to traditional Egyptian religious beliefs, with the worship of the Sun God Aten gaining prominence. The throne's backrest is adorned with the solar disk, symbolizing the Pharaoh's connection to the Sun God. The throne also bears the names of Tutankhamun and his queen, Ankhesenamun, further emphasizing their divine roles as rulers of the Egyptian empire. The throne's intricate design and use of precious materials reflect the wealth and power of the Egyptian civilization during the New Kingdom period. The throne's discovery by Howard Carter in 1922, after being buried for over 3,000 years, remains one of the most significant archaeological finds in history, providing valuable insights into the mythology, religion, and art of ancient Egypt.
