Egyptian artifacts
Treasures from pyramids
Egyptian artifacts are objects made in ancient Egypt—tools, jewelry, sculptures, pottery, sarcophagi, papyrus scrolls—that have survived millennia.
The phrase appears constantly in discussions of archaeology, museum collections, and cultural heritage disputes: The museum acquired Egyptian artifacts of questionable provenance.
These objects range from everyday items to elaborate tomb furnishings meant to accompany the dead into the afterlife.
