Statues of Amun in the form of a ram protecting King Taharqa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Statues of Amun in the form of a ram protecting King Taharqa
At least three Ancient Egyptian granitic gneiss statues of Amun in the form of a ram protecting King Taharqa were displayed at the Temple of Amun at Kawa in Nubia. Construction of the stone temple was started in 683 BC by the pharaoh Taharqa. The ram is one of the animals sacred to Amun, and several temples dedicated to Amun, including the one at Karnak featured ram or ram-headed sphinx statues. ==Discovery== The rams were found by Professor Francis Llewellyn Griffith during his excavations at the temple in 1930-1. Two sets of paired sandstone bases, in front of the first and second pylons respectively, were found at the western approach to the stone temple, and figures of rams were found on two of them.〔http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/aes/g/granite_statue_of_amun_in_the.aspx〕 The pairing ram to the one at the British Museum is held at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, where many of the artefacts from the excavations at Kawa are held.〔http://www.ashmolean.org/news/index.php?id=90 The BM website () says it is now at the National Museum of Khartoum; as of March 2009 it was in Oxford as it featured on bus advertisements for the Museum, with a young boy posing in his rugby gear next to the statue.〕 The British Museum's example was acquired in 1933 from Professor Griffith's Oxford Excavations in Nubia.〔 *"S.
