That being said, I have to respectfully disagree with Bob Brier. In February 1979 I visited the Egyptian Museum, and saw both the room with the Tanite collection, and the galleries containing the part of Tutankhamen's treasures that wasn't on tour at the time. By themselves the treasures from Tanis were all right, but if you do what I did, and see them right after coming downstairs from what King Tut had, you won't think they "can hold their own with even Tutankhamen's jewels," as Brier put it. In fact, my first impression of the Tanite stuff was, "That's not so great." Already the artwork is cruder than that of the New Kingdom, even to my untrained eye; it doesn't have the charm or grandeur of Tut's treasures. Here's a rare picture of the silver hawk-headed coffin of Shoshenk II:

Note: this topic is from 2005. Or somethin'. It's a re-ping, because I was trying to remember this very topic the other day in response to someone, and (of course) can't remember who it was. [blush] |

My safe search is always off but there's no NSFW stuff there - I just wanted to see pictures of the discoveries,
