Ritual figure of Menkaret supporting King TUTANKHAMUN (as mummified Pharaoh). Egyptian Museum, Cairo :copyright:Hans Ollermann This superb statue of a mummified TUTANKHAMUN survived at least two burglaries some 3300 years ago, when the tomb of the king in the Valley of the Kings was visited by tomb robbers. Weather the statue has survived the looting and vandalism in January 28, 2011, during which it disappeared in the Egyptian Museum at Tahrir Square (Cairo), is uncertain. It has not been recovered. Probably it is still in criminal hands at this very moment. It was part of a statue of Menkaret who carried the mummified Tutankhamun, but it was brooken off by the looters and disappeared following the looting and vandalism that happened in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, on January 28, 2011. Only the statue of Menkaret is recovered (brutally damaged), and restored by the museum. New Kingdom, dynasty 18. Reign of Tutankhamun Nebkhepure. Around 1336-1327 BC. Wood, Gold, Gesso and Glass.
