08b: Menkaura's Lost Sarcophagus

Updated in 2024. Around 2520 BCE, King Men-kau-ra (or Menkaure) ruled Egypt. In his time, royal artists produced high-quality sculpture, and builders constructed another pyramid at Giza.

Likewise his treasures, including his beautiful sarcophagus, have gone through a difficult journey over the past 4500 years...
