(ANSAmed) CAIRO, OCTOBER 30 - Egypt received on Thursday an archaeological piece from the United States after a 100-year absence. The relic, which dates back to the Middle Pharaonic State is the lost part of the Nawous base, a heavy stone sarcophagus with a light stone cover. It belongs to Amenemhat I, the founder of the 12th dynasty. The restoration is part of efforts exerted by the Supreme Council of Antiquities to bring home all stolen antiquities. The piece, which returned to Egypt from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was stolen 100 years ago by a person from New York. Amenemhat I was the son of a priest named Senuseret (Sesostris) and a woman called Nefret and as such, was not related at all to the members of the royal family of the 11th Dynasty. His name shows allegiance to the god Amun, a hitherto unimportant god of unknown origin who appears to have established himself in the Theban area somewhere during the 11th Dynasty. (ANSAmed)
