The Antiquities Ministry and the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology issued a new book “The Cachette of Karnak. New perspectives on Georges Legrain's discoveries” (La Cachette de Karnak: Nouvelles perspectives sur les decouvertes de Georges Legrain).
The book offers new insight into one of the most momentous archaeological discoveries in the twentieth century “the Cachette of Karnak”; a cache of nearly eight hundred stone statues and seventeen thousand bronzes, as well as other artifacts, discovered in 1903 by French Egyptologist Georges Legrain, said director of the scientific publication department at the Antiquities Ministry Hussein Abdel Baseer.
The objects date mostly from the New Kingdom up to the end of the Ptolemaic period. Some objects from the Old and Middle Kingdoms were also found.
