 This statue of Horemheb and his wife was really beautiful to see tonight. Just stopped in awe and took in the craftsmanship and their overall presence. The style of the fashionable garments they are wearing, helped to date them back to the 18th dynasty. 
Found it really interesting that unlike many other kings, Horemheb was not of royal birth, but was a successful army general under Tutankhamun before he rose to become a pharaoh. https://image.nostr.build/d63bc656dc2ddd8ab8811f0cd3f9da588650cecb025927a8b473e62899351466.jpg
