Cairo Museum . Akhenaton's belongings.




Among the scattered objects at Cairo museum's garden is a sarcophagus without any information or a sign. That granite sarcophagus is a repaired one with carvings and relieves represents the Amarna style of art and also has five royal names. While being the sarcophagus badly destroyed , these five names still to be read, from left to right, Nefertiti, Akhenaton "two names", Meryetaton and Meketaton. Also we can see Aton spreads its rays to protect the royal family cartouches.
