Valuable Archaeological Findings That Have Shaped History Over Milennia

The Sarcophagus of Princess Sopdet-em-Haawt, a valuable artifact from the 8th Century B.C., represents ancient Egypt’s elegance. Auctioned for $1 million, it belonged to the princess from Herakleopolis, once Upper Egypt’s throbbing heart.

Crafted from polychrome wood, this sarcophagus showcases Princess Sopdet-em-Haawt adorned in a regal beaded collar and the goddess Nut’s winged pectoral. Nut, revered as the starry sky’s deity, birthed several major gods, including Osiris and Isis. 104
