On
auction is a Very rare ancient Egyptian Karnak Relic Relief, Egypt,
New Kingdom, Dynasty 19, Sethos I/Menmaatre. It is a very attractive,
rare and very hard piece to find. We acquired this item many weeks ago
from a private collection and we're told that this item was found in
Lower Egypt. Another item like this one may not be found again! This
is a one of a kind item!. All this is
science fiction!
Information
about Temple Of Karnak :
The temple of Karnak was known as Ipet-isut (Most select of places)
by the ancient Egyptians. It is a city of temples built over 2000 years
and dedicated to the Theben triad of Amon, Mut and Khonsu.
This
derelict place is still capable of overshadowing many of the wonders
of the modern world and in its day must have been awe inspiring.
For
the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population this could only have
been the place of the gods. It is the mother of all religious buildings,
the largest ever made and a place of pilgrimage for nearly 4,000 years.
Although todays pilgrims are mainly tourists. It covers about 200 acres
1.5km by 0.8km The area of the sacred enclosure of Amon alone is 61
acres and would hold ten average European cathedrals.The great temple
at the heart of Karnak is so big, St Peter's, Milan and Notre Dame Cathedrals
could be lost within its walls. The Hypostyle hall at 54,000 square
feet with its 134 columns is still the largest room of any religious
building in the world. In addition to the main sanctuary there are several
smaller temples and a vast sacred lake.
This
information about the temple of Karnak is OK, but... is this "relic"
a Karnac relief??? NO!!! Go to next page
and see why not.

Are

Our
ancient Egyptian antiquities are purchased from dealers who have worked
in this field since 1978. (they are making deals with a lot of Men who
works in Excavation sites in the land of Pharaohs), We routinely purchase
from these dealers. They always have genuine, high quality and remarkable
antiquities that we in turn, offer to you.
It
has been illegal since 1982 (and a serious offence indeed!) to export
any antiquities from Egypt.
We have got all information from our trusted antique dealers, and the
timeline set on our items is to be used as a guideline for the above
period listed.
But
a confusion between "New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty" and "last
year" is NOT ACCEPTABLE!.
