EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting page from The Sphere, a weekly illustrated London newspaper, showcases a selection of precious relics discovered in the Valley of the Kings during archaeological expeditions of the 1920s. The captivating image transports us back in time to ancient Egypt, where the Pharaohs' treasures lay hidden for thousands of years. Among the remarkable finds displayed are statues of Pharaoh Akhenaten, the heretic ruler and husband of the famous Queen Nefertiti, and his mother, Queen Tiaa. Akhenaten, known for his religious reforms, is depicted in a seated position, wearing the Nemes headdress and a false beard. Queen Tiaa, the mother of Akhenaten, is shown in a graceful standing position, her arms crossed in front of her chest. Two gilt statues of Tutankhamun, the boy king, are also featured. These magnificent statues, adorned with intricate gold detailing, show the young pharaoh in various poses. The central figure in the image is a full-length statue of the Goddess Isis, the revered deity of fertility. Isis, often depicted with a throne on her head, is shown in a serene and elegant pose, her hands crossed in front of her chest, symbolizing her role as the nurturing mother and protector of the pharaohs. The discovery of these relics in the Valley of the Kings, a burial site for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom, sparked immense fascination and excitement among scholars and the public alike. This image, published in 1927, offers a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt, transporting us to a time when the sands of the desert concealed the treasures of the Pharaohs.
