Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun 18th Dynasty Square Sticker

Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun 18th Dynasty ... Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun 18th Dynasty New Kingdom ... mummy burial mask of pure gold, dark blue glass, and matching dark blue Afghanistan precious stone Lapis Lazuli ... Tomb discovered November 1922. The boy king ruled about nine or ten years and died about age 19 about year 1323 BC some 3,341 years ago (now being AD 2018) ... about 100 generations ago. His mummy was found with this beautiful pure gold mask and encased in a pure gold sarcophagus in the shape and form of the Ancient Egyptian god Horus and nested inside two more gold encrusted wooden sarcophagi each also in the shape and form of the Ancient Egyptian god Horus. Each living pharaoh was considered the reincarnation of Horus, son of sibling gods Osiris and Isis. As each pharaoh died he passed into the afterlife to join and become one with his father Osiris while the dead pharaoh's son or heir became the next living god Horus. This belief system remained relatively unchanged for some 3000 years through some 170 pharaohs from Pharaoh Menes to Queen Cleopatra VII (as mother of her child heir Horus Ptolemy XV Caesarion she took the role of the living goddess Isis). Pharaoh Tutankhamun was a lesser known almost forgotten pharaoh until his nearly intact tomb was discovered in November 1922 by Howard Carter funded by Lord Carnarvon. This pure gold portrait mask is one of the most beautiful of all such early ancient works of art. The dark blue stripes in the Nemes headdress are made of dark blue glass to match the imported Afghanistan precious stone dark blue Lapis Lazuli. It is thought that if such riches were found in the tomb of such an almost forgotten relatively short reign pharaoh, how much more dazzling might have been the tombs of greater pharaohs before they were plundered ... their precious art now lost.
