Frequently asked
What materials were sarcophagi made from?
Egyptian sarcophagi were typically carved from granite, limestone, or quartzite stone. The most expensive ones used red granite from Aswan, which was incredibly hard and took months to carve by hand using copper tools and abrasive sand.
Why did Egyptians paint elaborate scenes on sarcophagus lids?
The painted scenes were actually magical spells from the Book of the Dead, designed to help the deceased navigate the dangerous underworld. Each image served as a guide, showing gods and protective symbols needed for the afterlife journey.
