NOTES: Chapter 5: The Art of Ancient Greece

Where in the world are we?  East of Italy, North of Africa, West of Turkey ....

It was discovered by Howard Carter in 1925 in tomb KV62 and is now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.   Found in the Valley of the Kings, after 15 years of digging! Carter's last expedition, sponsored by the wealthy British amateur Egyptologist Lord Carnarvon.  The tomb dates to c. 1332 - 1322 BCE The death mask is ma...
