: Opis.: Gilded Mehit-Weret (aspect of Hathor) Head from Tomb of pharaoh Tutankhamun (Luxor Museum, Luxor, Egypt) The goddess Hathor was often represented in the form of a cow, and, as such, was depicted on the walls of many Theban tombs dating to the New Kingdom. When portrayed in the papyrus marsh, her body is usually obscured, hidden by the thicket and the western mountain. Only her head is visible, and it is perhaps this aspect of her that is rendered here in three dimensions. Hathor was known as the mistress of the western desert, where the necropolis was located, and would, therefore, be of assistance to the deceased. This wooden carving of the head and neck of a cow found in the KV62 tomb of Tutankhamun in front of the canopic chest was covered with a thin layer of gesso. The head and part of the neck were then gilded, while the lower portion of the neck and the pedestal base were coated with a dark resin. The horns, which received the same varnish, consist of gessoed wood covered with a thin metal sheet of either copper or bronze. It was located in the Luxor Museum in 1999. Credit: Rudiger Stein

: Opis.: The Lost City of Heracleion. Alexandria, Egypt An ancient city exhumed from the depths of the ocean. It was a legend. No trace of the city had ever been found, and it appeared only in a few rare inscriptions and ancient texts. The city of Thonis-Heracleion (known by both its Egyptian and Greek names) was not something anyone was expecting to find, because no one was looking for it. So it was something of a shock when in 2000 French archaeologist Franck Goddio, looking for 18th-century French warships, saw a colossal face emerge from the watery shadows of the Alexandria bay. Goddio had stumbled upon Thonis-Heracleion completely submerged 4 miles off the coast of Egypt. Among the underwater ruins were 64 ships, 700 anchors, a treasure trove of gold coins, 16-foot-tall statues, and, most notably, the remains of a massive temple to Amun-Gereb, supreme god of the ancient Egyptians. The granite ruins and artifacts are remarkably well preserved. Built around its grand temple, the city was likely criss-crossed with a network of canals—a kind of ancient Egyptian Venice. Its islands were home to small sanctuaries and homes and the city controlled the trade into Egypt. Over 2,000 years ago, Thonis Heracleion was undoubtedly one of the greatest port cities of the world. The question of how it ended up on the floor of the Mediterranean remains unanswered.

: Opis.: A gold ring dated to the reign of King Horemheb (circa 1323-1295 BCE), the last monarch of the 18th Dynasty. It has a four-sided rectangular moveable bezel, with added spirals. On the side we see here, a crocodile is engraved in sunk relief. The crocodile is associated with the protective and procreative deity Sobek. He was a god of water and of areas wherever crocodiles were commonly found, such as marshes and riverbanks. Sobek was also associated with the king and could act as a symbol of pharaonic potency and might. This ring (N 747), which is 2.5 centimeters in length, is now in the Musée du Louvre (Louvre Museum), Paris, France.

: Opis.: Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. The mortuary temple of Hatshepsut (Egyptian: Ḏsr-ḏsrw meaning "Holy of Holies") is a mortuary temple built during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Located opposite the city of Luxor, it is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient architecture. Its three massive terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Her tomb, KV20, lies inside the same massif capped by El Qurn, a pyramid for her mortuary complex. At the edge of the desert, 1 km (0.62 mi) east, connected to the complex by a causeway lies the accompanying valley temple. Across the river Nile, the whole structure points towards the monumental Eighth Pylon, Hatshepsut's most recognizable addition to the Temple of Karnak and the site from which the procession of the Beautiful Festival of the Valley departed. The temple's twin functions are identified by its axes: its main east-west axis served to receive the barque of Amun-Re at the climax of the festival, while its north-south axis represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth
