A Bronze Royal from Egypt’s Pyramid Age
Jeff Burzacott February 19, 2015
“The statue was taken up to the tomb in which we lived, and an attempt made to clean out the hollow trunk. It was then found that this contained a smaller complete statue of the same technique as the larger …” — James Quibell.
In 1897 a magnificent copper statue of King Pepi I was discovered in Hierakonpolis (‘city of the falcon god’), south of Luxor. To the ancient Egyptians it was Nekhen, royal residence of the Kings of Upper Egypt at the very beginnings of Egypt’s history.
