Frequent Art Questions
Was this coffin found in a pyramid?
No, the only people who were actually buried in the pyramids were kings and queens. Other elite Egyptians would be buried in nearby cemeteries.This coffin was actually found in the cemetery of a place called Deir el-Medina not far from the Valley of the Kings. It was a small village where the artists who built and decorated the kings' tombs lived!Thank you very much.
