Abstract | ||||
This article is to study the Karnak statuette group CG exhibited in the Egyptian museum in Cairo. The statuette group is an innovation in the ancient Egyptian Art, since it reflects an immense amount of passion and love between Amenirdis I, the God’s wife of the 25th Dynasty and her spouse God Amun. This type of emotions was only represented in the Amarna art. The statuette group is inscribed by inscriptions giving names and titles of Amun and Amenirdis I that were mistranslated. The titles contributed in understanding the significance behind the statuette group | ||||
