1352 BC| 1352 BC | Egypt [births and deaths] | Tutankhamen, King of Egypt 1361–1352 BC, whose intact tomb was discovered in 1922, dies (c. 18). | | 1352 BC | Egypt [economic conditions] | Egypt's wealth is demonstrated by the magnificent grave goods of Tutankhamen, a youthful and comparatively unimportant king. They include iron daggers, a chariot, a wooden chest, depicting the king in battle behind his prancing chariot horses, the throne-panel showing Ankhesenamen endearingly touching her husband, and the scene on an ivory chest of the young Ankhesenamen and Tutankhamen picking flowers. The tomb, which – exceptionally – was not robbed, was discovered by the English archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922, and opened in 1923. |
