Have you ever heard the darkest story from Tutankhamun’s reign? A priest whose ambition crushed loyalty… A man who ruled from the shadows — Ay, the high priest who seized the throne when the Boy King died.

A ruthless rise to power. A legacy erased by Horemheb, the military commander who refused to let Ay rewrite Egypt’s destiny.

This is not just history… It’s a real political thriller straight out of ancient Egypt.

Trial Piece with Relief of Head of Akhenaten ca. 1353–1336 B.C. New Kingdom, Amarna Period The slanting slitted eye, heavy everted lips, and drooping chin here recognizably signify the pharaoh Akhenaten. This piece is a 'sculptor's model' from Amarna. Such models are roughly rectangular slabs of stone on which the representation is theorized to be a master's model for his assistants to follow while decorating a wall with relief or, alternatively, an apprentice's study piece. At least in some instances, however, such pieces may have been intended or served secondarily as donations. For instance, one such relief found in the Great Temple of the Aton at Amarna shows a kneeling figure on the reverse side of a royal representation. The king's image appears to be unfinished, lacking characteristic furrows and lines and the royal uraeus.

Posted @withregram • @egyptology_persian Pectoral of Sheshonq I The inscriptions on the ends of the solar boat on this gold pendant encrusted with lapis lazuli and glass paste state that it belonged to Sheshonq, the son of Nimlot. This could have been Sheshonq I, the founder of the Twenty second Dynasty, and therefore the pendant would have been inherited by his son Sheshonq Il in whose tomb it was found. It’s an image of a solar barque sailing across the primordial waters below a starry heavenly vault. A solar disc is shown in the center of the boat with a depiction of the goddess Maat standing beside the god Amun-Ra-Horakhty (partly shown) seated on a throne. At the end of the barque stands Maat with winged arms outstretched towards the sun disc. In her right hand she holds a plume (a symbol of truth, justice, harmony, morality, righteousness, order, and cosmic balance). In the left she holds a hieroglyph composed of the nefer sign (a symbol of perfection or completeness), the Wadjet-eye (a symbol of eternal rebirth), and the neb basket (the word used for 'all' or 'every', and 'lord' or 'master').

Posted @withrepost • @heqaib Pretty excited to see one of my favourite statues of Ancient Egypt. The statue has suffered damage to the name of the king. It’s found in the lower gallery of the Luxor Museum, so don’t miss it 😉 Excitement levels will be high tomorrow when I visit the Egizio Museum in Torino. Statue of Amenhotep III; New Kingdom (Dyn. XVIII); Thebes #newkingdom #egyptianmuseum #thisisegypt🇪🇬 #ancientegypt #egypt #ancientworld #art #thebes #egyptianmuseum #egyptianart #amenhotep https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_2fm6Dw6h/?igshid=14wljky2ofku9

Thutmose I and His Mother SenisenebA.D. 1925; original ca. 1479–1458 B.C. New Kingdom Nina de Garis Davies  Thutmose I, third king of Dynasty 18, was not the son of Amenhotep I, his predecessor. He was, however, closely allied or related to Ahmose-Nefertari, the mother of Amenhotep I, and was responsible for her tomb and burial. At the Temple of Amun at Karnak, he enlarged the Middle Kingdom temple with two pylons, a hypostyle hall, two obelisks, and an enclosure wall. He was greatly revered by his daughter Hatshepsut, who based her legitimacy on the throne on his supposed appointment of her as king. Hatshepsut built a chapel in his honor in her own mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. This facsimile of a painted relief from the Chapel of Anubis in the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut was copied by the artist Nina deGaris Davies from the original. It was produced as part of the work of the Graphic Section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Egyptian Expedition. Richly painted, it shows the king wearing a pleated linen kilt with an elaborate sash and carrying his walking stick and ceremonial mace. He is accompanied by his mother Seniseneb, who wears the vulture headdress of Egyptian queens #Tutankhamun. #BritishMuseum #egyptianmuseum #MuseumFromHome #bkmegyptianart #ancientring #Egypt #AncientEgyptian #JewelryAncientEgyptian #Jewelleryancientegyptian #ringsancientegyptian #scarabsrings #scarabs  #newkingdom #jewellerybloger #instajewelry #egyptological #egyptianjewelry #tutankhamón #18Dynasty #newkingdom #stayhome (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBh3SWEhcuV/?igshid=br6eu79kwf9n

Corselet of Tutankhamun This combined corselet, collar, and pectoral, is a magnificent piece of jewelry considered to be a royal and official article of clothing, depicted in relief and sculpture throughout the Egyptian history. In the New Kingdom, this corselet appears especially in divine portrayal, decorated with feather patterns and always worn with the short, close-fitting kilt. Tutankhamun’s corselet is made of two rectangles of stylized feathers, divided into rows of alternating blue turquoise, lapis lazuli, golden chevrons, or inverted V’s, and triangles of red glass. The front of the collar depicts the king before Amun, lord of Karnak; Atum, the god of creation in Heliopolis; and the vulture-headed goddess Iusaaset, wearing the double crown and extending reeds of millions of years to the king. Serving as counterpoise, on the rear of the collar is a similar pendant, composed of a scarab, flanked by two uraei, or cobras. From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
