Liberated from the evil empire, but I couldn't find a great summary page including this exact piece. Frustrating!

Anybody have a good reference page for this one?

the tomb of someone serving under Akhenaten

Aha, the heretic one-god Pharaoh! I missed you saying that at first.

I kind of admire his massive balls for trying to convert the kingdom to a different theism, but OTOH the 'one-god' thing has played out pretty disastrously in later times IMO, so... yeah.

Ah, who the heck knows...?

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
