The above are the coffin lids of a 21st Dynasty priest of the god Montu named Panebmontu. Today the artefacts are resting at the Louvre Musuem where they are known as E 13029.


I think one of the finest aspects of Ancient Egypt that draws me to her, is her people's ability to be so detailed in their work. For instance, the above are coffin lids with intricate details carved all over its body, that have last for thousands of years. Then think about our coffins today - wooden rectangular boxes with no carvings of any sorts on it.

The Ancient Egyptians never cease to amaze me, every single day.
