The Guardian Statue
This piece of art never left egypt before. It's unique because this is the only statue which was found inside the tomb of totan amon in life size, in this size. This one is a beautiful statue. Even if you come very close to the face of the statue, the statue doesn't look ato at all. The reason is the statue is looking at far beyond our world. Is looking to the after life, to the eternal life of the king watching there. So has nothing to do with our world.
