Perhaps one of the greatest works of art ever produced on this planet, this gold, inner sarcophagus mask conveys the multidimensional essence of an individual, a civilization, of our own mysterious humanity, in ways that all the books and speculations on Egypt, the soul, mortality and immortality, eternity and transcendence can never fully communicate.
In a sense, the sublime mastery of this true artist has made hir completely invisible, so that all we see is the naked presence of the being, without once thinking, "Who is it that produced such a perfect masterpiece?"

Chatal Slavery existed on a grand scale during his time and this was the time of the enslavement of the cannanites and Hebrews and tribes of Africa were trading slaves in those days and war slaves.the gold came from southern ethiopia and african mines but it's hard to say weather it was a slave or a local that did the art work.although there were a lot of new concepts and architectural ideas that also could have been inspired from Persia and as far away as the megalithic sites of great britain and the disappearing Stone age people of great britain..some how some of the stone cutting tools ended up 275 years later to build Gyza pyramid.they have found completely round stones in the Orkney Islands and the valley of the boyne river and on many megalythic sites and we don't today have those cutting tools..
