Description
In 1939, archaeologist Pierre Montet unearthed the royal tombs of Tanis, revealing breathtaking treasures—including gold masks, jewelry, and rare solid silver coffins, a material seldom used in ancient Egypt. These discoveries rivaled Tutankhamun's, yet were overshadowed by the outbreak of World War II. Join the historian of Koreshan State Park for a fascinating talk exploring the forgotten splendor of these Silver Pharaohs and the times in which they lived.
