The elaborate stone sarcophagus lid of Pakal the Great depicts the ruler adorned in the garments of a god.

Bar shot were common tools for pirates, who used them at close range to destroy the rigging and sails of enemy ships. Due to the weights on either end of the bars, they would spin uncontrollably after being fired from a cannon.

Hand grenades were common weapons pirates used to incapacitate the ships of their enemies.

This bell recovered from the 'Whydah Gally' shipwreck is made of bronze with a wooden crosspiece. The bell was an important ship component, informing pirates of when to work, sleep, eat, and fight.

This musket’s barrel and stock were cut down, likely so a pirate could more easily use it in close combat.

In February 2018 research teams used ground-penetrating radar to scan King Tut’s burial chamber in the hopes of finding Nefertiti’s tomb behind the brightly painted walls. The results indicated that her final resting place is not there.

The royal tomb of the heretic pharaoh was built east of his capital city, Akhetaten (now known as Amarna). Depictions of Nefertiti appear on its walls along with representations of the god Aten.

Perhaps the most famous portrait in the world at Berlin's Neues Museum, this bust of Nefertiti was found in 1912 by German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt.

Dedicated to the solar god Aten, the ruins of Akhenaten and Nefertiti’s capital city, known today as Amarna, sit on the eastern bank of the Nile. The Egyptian capital returned south to Thebes (modern Luxor) after his death.

Wari ceremonial drinking vessels often included regional animals, including this thirsty jaguar.
