Researchers from Macquarie University recently analyzed bracelets found in the tomb of Queen Hetepheres I, which is the largest and most famous collection of silver artifacts from ancient Egypt. This is the first analysis of this collection in decades of mystery. Photo: @MacquarieUniversity.

Analysis of samples taken from the bracelets shows that they were made mainly of silver with small amounts of copper, gold and lead, and were inlaid with lapis lazuli and agate, a technique that suggests they were made in Egypt. Photo: @Macquarie University.

Although Egypt is rich in gold, it has no local sources of silver, and the metal was most likely imported from mines in the Cyclades (Aegean Islands, Greece). Photo: @Macquarie University.

“The silver was likely acquired through the port of Byblos on the Lebanese coast, and is the earliest evidence of long-distance trade between Egypt and Greece,” said Dr Karin Sowada from Macquarie University’s School of History and Archaeology. Photo: @MacquarieUniversity.
