Today we shed light on an artifact, bracelets of gold and lapis lazuli of King Ramses II, where we continuously review a piece with its image and some information about that piece and the place of its display, as well as the era to which it belongs. Today’s piece is displayed in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
The bracelets date back to the 18th Dynasty, the period of the reign of King Ramses II "approximately 1279-1213 BC." They are made of gold and lapis lazuli. They were found in Tell Basta - east of the Delta.
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is one of the most important national projects adopted by the state. It is one of the largest international museums, as well as the only museum of its kind in Egypt, the Arab world, the Middle East and Africa. Until now, among the most famous halls of the museum are:
The Mummies Exhibition Hall. The most important feature of the Museum of Civilization is the hall, which was specifically designed to display the mummies of the kings and queens of Pharaonic Egypt, which created the atmosphere for the visitor in the Valley of the Kings, where these mummies were found.
