The Translation of the Golden Mask of Tutankhamun

🔹The golden funerary mask belonged to Tutankhamun, who reigned over the New Kingdom of Egypt from 1332 BC to 1323 BC, during the Eighteenth Dynasty. After being buried with Tutankhamun’s mummy for over 3,000 years, it was found in 1922 following the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb three years earlier by the British archaeologist Howard Carter at the Valley of the Kings. It is on public display at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The hieroglyphs, which were chased on the back, provide a protective spell from chapter 151 of the book of the dead.

🔸“Lord of sight, bound by Ptah-Sokar, who was raised by Anubis. There has been given to him by Thoth, who has raised him a beautiful of face, which is with the gods. May your right/western eye be in the night bark. May your left/western eye be in the day barque. May your eye eyebrows be with the Ennead. May your brow be with Anubis. May your back-head be with Horus. May your lock of hair be with Ptah-Sokar and infront of Osiris, so that he sees it for you. May you guide him to the good places/ways. May you smite for him the gang of Seth. That he may befell your enemies before the Ennead in the great temple, which is in Iunu (Heliopolis). And may he take the great crown (Werret crown) therein before Horus, the lord of the nobles.”
