Artisans Recreate Tutankhamun Treasures On Jacob's Island
On Jacob's Island near Cairo artisans reproduce Tutankhamun's tomb treasures from Carter's 1922 discovery. Twenty-two artists and students work to duplicate four chamber tomb items and 1,000 of the 1,703 objects using photographs, balancing history and art. The project costs 1 million Egyptian pounds and aims to let visitors feel the tomb's wonder, with some pieces to be made in gold-plated copper.
