2,600 -year -old gold -filled pot was found in the ancient Egyptian temple! – Cyprus Newspaper

In an ancient Egyptian temple, archaeologists discovered a 2,600 -year -old container containing gold jewelry and the statuettes of a god family.

The works were revealed in the Karnak temple complex, one of the most important temples in ancient Egypt. The complex near Lucsor was built about 4,000 years ago and then maintained maintenance, renovation and renovation for about a thousand years.

In a statement made by the Ministry of Tourism and Historical Arts of Egypt, the archaeological excavation of the works in the works of most gold beads, amulets and statuettes said.

The ornaments were in a small container found in a broken state, and all the parts were “well preserved”.

Mohamed Abdel-Badii, President of the Egyptian Archeology Sector, says that the jewelry collection consists of a triple statue of ancient Egyptian gods as well as gold and metal rings.

Amon, the chief god of the triple figurine TEB, depicted his wife, his wife and the mother goddess, his sons and the moon god Khons as he was standing side by side.

Researchers say that the figurines are probably part of the jewel that is stuck to the neck like amulets.

In addition to the works representing the metal brooch and the gods in the form of animals, some were covered with gold and a series of beads dated to the beginning of the 26th of the ancient Egypt.

Some of the amulets were in the form of Wadjet, an ancient Egyptian jewelry in the form of an ancient Egyptian jewelry, which was believed to protect the wearer.

Stating that it is not clear why the works were buried in a pottery, researchers argue that they may be presented in a ritual or donated to the temple treasury.

The latest findings can provide a clearer understanding of the historical development of Karnak temples and the historical development in the 1st millennium BC.

In the previous excavations in the area, a large number of mud structures dated to the beginning of the 26th Dynasty period were revealed. Researchers say that structures are probably used as workshops or shops or other places of worship associated with the temple.

The Ministry announced that archaeologists are working on the restoration and documentation of newly discovered works, which will later be exhibited at the Luksor Museum.
