New Find: Ancient Throne Chair of Tutankhamun and His Wife Ankhesenamun Discovered Alongside His Grave Goods from Egypt’s 18th Dynasty.

A groundbreaking archaeological discovery has brought to light an exquisitely detailed throne chair from the New Kingdom’s 18th Dynasty, dating back to 1332-1323 BCE. The throne, adorned with intricate depictions of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and his wife, Ankhesenamun, was found among the treasures meticulously stacked in the young pharaoh’s tomb.

It is thought that Ankhesenamun was only thirteen years old when she married Tutankhamun and he was only eight years old. Despite this, they seem to have been a close couple who were depicted enjoying each others company – possibly because they had grown up together and so enjoyed a genuine friendship.

 

This magnificent throne chair is a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of ancient Egyptian artisans. The carvings and inlays vividly depict the royal couple in various scenes, highlighting the reverence and affection shared between Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun. The discovery of this throne, alongside the other grave goods, provides a deeper understanding of the cultural and religious significance attributed to such items in ancient Egyptian burial practices.

The tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, continues to reveal secrets about the life and reign of the young pharaoh who ascended to the throne at a tender age. The throne chair, along with other artifacts, paints a richer picture of the opulence and complexity of the royal court during the 18th Dynasty. Each piece, including this newly discovered throne, serves as a historical document, offering insights into the daily life, religious beliefs, and artistic achievements of one of history’s most fascinating civilizations.
