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 you joking?

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!.
