Archaeologists have discovered a collection of jewelry that dates back to the 26th dynasty, during excavations in northwest of Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt.
The Karnak Temple is one of Egypt’s most important complexes, with up to 20 temples and churches, providing profound insights into ancient Egyptian religious practices. Despite the discovery of many incredible artifacts, the site is an important part of the country’s cultural history, as it is believed that the place of creation begins and is also a point of interaction between Arman-Amun Raa and the ancient Egyptians.

These include rings made of gold and other metals, small golden amulets (including triad statues of ancient Egyptian deities Amon, mut and khonsu) and deities as animals as talismans, metal brooches and various beads. They are hidden in broken ships, which helps keep the hoard in its original state.
After the artifacts are recorded and the workpieces are restored, they will be exhibited at the Luxor Museum. Excavations are expected to continue in the north of the Temple Complex.
