EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient Egyptian triple lamp, discovered in the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of Kings in 1922, is a stunning example of the intricate craftsmanship and artistic beauty of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to circa 1332-1323 BC, this lamp is made of alabaster and takes the form of an open lotus flower, with two buds extending from its center. Lotus flowers were a symbol of rebirth and creation in ancient Egyptian culture, making this lamp a powerful representation of the pharaoh's connection to the divine. Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as Tutankhaten, Tutankhamen, and Tutenkhamun, was the eighteenth dynasty pharaoh of Egypt. His tomb, KV62, was one of the most intact tombs ever discovered, filled with treasures and artifacts that provided valuable insights into ancient Egyptian life and culture. The triple lamp is just one of the many remarkable finds from this tomb, which has captivated the world's imagination and fueled our fascination with the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The triple lamp's elegant design and intricate details are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian craftsmen. Its alabaster material, which was prized for its translucent quality, would have allowed the lamp to emit a soft, warm glow when lit. This beautiful artifact is a reminder of the rich history and cultural legacy of ancient Egypt, and continues to inspire wonder and awe in people around the world.
