What artefacts are on display?

Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who reigned between 1332 B.C. and 1323 B.C., was born during the reign of his father Pharaoh Akhenaton in the late Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Tutankhamun was 9 years old when he ascended the throne. The Golden Pharaoh, who mysteriously lost his life at 19, had his body mummified within 70 days and was placed in tomb number 69 in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor. British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter discovered the magnificent treasury of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in southern Egypt in 1922, which created a great impact worldwide, and the artefacts found became symbols of Ancient Egypt. The treasures of the young pharaoh shed light on many aspects of the history of ancient Egyptian civilization. In the exhibition organized for Tutankhamun, also known as the 'Golden King' because all items found in his tomb were made of solid gold, there are exact replicas of 409 artefacts specially selected from the treasure. The exhibition features the world-renowned golden death mask adorned with precious stones, the coffin bearing depictions of the Egyptian goddesses Isis, Nephthys, Neith and Selket, the mummy inside the coffin, a bed made of gilded wood, a war chariot, the golden throne depicting Tutankhamun's love with his wife Queen Ankhesenamun, statues depicting the young pharaoh hunting hippopotamuses, various furniture, horse-drawn chariots, weapons such as arrows and bows, and many other fascinating artefacts including the weapon called the "dagger from space" made from iron from a meteorite that fell in Anatolia. One of the genetic defects said to have played a role in Tutankhamun's death at a young age caused one of his feet to be impaired. For this reason, examples of his staffs, which caused great wonder when his tomb was discovered, and replicas of hundreds of other pieces are featured in this exciting exhibition.
