6/ frontal view of the statuette. The braided gold rope indicates it could be worn like a necklace--a heavy one!

7/ Another statuette made of blue glass depicts the king as a child, this time with his finger in his mouth, symbolizing childhood.

8/ Only 20 more days until the end of my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown to the centenary of his tomb's discovery. Tomorrow, statues of Tutankhamun on a leopard

1/ T-3 of my Tutankhamun 100 day countdown: Today 2 gilded chariots. #Egypt #Archaeology #Tutankhamun #history #Archaeology #Tutankhamen #Toutankhamon #Tutancâmon #Tutanchamun #توتعنخآمون #ancient #Tutankamón #ツタンカーメン #图坦卡蒙 #圖坦卡蒙 #Τουταγχαμών #тутанхамон #투탕카

2/ Only 8 complete chariots, & 1 chariot cab, have survived from the Late Bronze age among several civilizations that had them. All these come from 18th Dynasty Egypt, 6 of them from Tutankhamun's tomb

3/ 4 of the chariots had wood frames and cloth or leather sidings which did not survive. They had minimal gilding. #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte #Egipto #Egito #Αίγυπτος #Ägypten #מִצְרַיִם #Egitto #エジプト #이집트 #مصر
