This beautiful gold pectoral of pharaoh
Amenemope before the god
Osiris was found in Amenemope's burial within a chamber of king
Psusennes I's intact NRT III's tomb at
Tanis, Egypt. The Dynasty 21 Egyptian kings
Psusennes I and Amenemope and the later Dynasty 22 king
Shoshenq II along with General
Wendjebauendjed were buried in Psusennes I's NRT III tomb chambers beneath the paving of the temple of Amun in Tanis, where they lay forgotten until their rediscovery by
Pierre Montet in 1939. Unlike
Tutankhamun's tomb which was brief robbed twice by grave robbers in antiquity, Psusennes I's NRT III totally escaped detection by tomb robbers even while the neighbouring tomb of king
Osorkon II at NRT I was plundered by tomb robbers.
