  1. New Kingdom (1570 – 1070 BC)

  2. Akhenaten Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and the Royal Princesses: Aten, the Solar Disk, blessing the Royal family; detail of sunk relief fragment from Tell el-Amarna, ca. 1350 B.C. [Dynasty XVIII]

  3. Akhenaten - Private stela Traditionally placed in tombs or temples, private stelae or memorial tablets were rare at Amarna. Four individuals appear here; their positions at Amarna and even their relationship to each other are not stated. Two men, named Menena and Yaya, sit on elaborate stools, across from two women, Tashety and Mery

  4. Tutankhamun Tutankhamun from the back of his gold throne.

  5. Tutankhamun Kiya, a lesser wife of Akhenaten who was probably Tutankhamun's mother.

  6. Tutankhamun inner coffin Perhaps the most impressive piece found in Tutankhamun's tomb is not the mask, although that is the most well known. The kings gold inner coffin, shown above, displays a quality of workmanship and an attention to detail which is unsurpassed. The coffin is made of solid gold. It is 74" long, 20" wide and 20" high. The king is shown as Osiris holding the crook and flail, traditional symbols of kingship.

  8. Tutankhamun mask There is little doubt that the most famous icon from Ancient Egypt is the funerary mask of Tutankhamun. It is a stunning example of the Ancient goldsmith's art. The mask itself is made of solid gold, inlaid with lapis lazuli, cornelian, quartz, obsidian, turquoise and colored glass.

  9. Royal Couple in a Garden (Semenkhkare and Meritaten?)
