Amazing 4,500-Year-Old Egyptian Bead-Net Dress Found In Giza Tomb Restored
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - In 1927, a team of archaeologists led by George A. Reisner excavated at Giza, Egypt, where they unearthed a remarkable ancient treasure. The scientists discovered the only complete ancient Egyptian bead-net dress found to date in a tomb! Most ancient Egyptian tombs have been looted, but the owner's burial had remained undisturbed, giving archaeologists a unique opportunity to examine the incredible clothing.
Inside the Giza Mastaba tomb G7440, the skeletal remains of an unidentified female were found. Riesner was a thorough archaeologist who photographed and documented everything inside the tomb. He also wrote a daily diary describing everything of importance concerning tomb G7440. Thanks to this diary, Riesner's archaeological methodology, and highly controlled recording techniques, scientists could reconstruct the incredible dress found in tomb G7440 60 years later.
