Description: | CULT Unnown 18th Dynasty, 1338Bc-1327BC Tell el Amarna Egypt This ring bezel is inscribed with the infamous name Tutankhamun. He ruled Egypt shortly in the 18th Dynasty between 1336BC-1327BC. What is most interesting about this ring bezel is that it was found in Tell el Amarna-a site created by Tutankamun's father Akhenaten. Akhenaten had enforced a kind of monotheism on Egypt, allowing only the worship of the sun god Aten. Tutankhamun had been raised at Amarna where his name originally was Tutankaten. With the death of his father he changed his name, whilst still living at Amarna, and restored the worship of all Egypt's former deities. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | JEWELLERY : KING : ROYALTY : CARLY : EXIT2911 : NORTH AFRICA : EXIT2922 : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
