Episode 35 - The Bronze Hand of Prêles and the Treasures of King Tut's Tomb

Into the Dust Archaeology

In this episode, Jason describes and amazing, one-of-a-kind artefact, The Bronze Hand of Prêles. This is an archaeology crime even though the detectorists who found it were not traffickers. In fact, they reported it as required, but apparently they were illegally metal detecting, so they were slapped with a fine.
In honor of the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), we also feature the top treasures of King Tut's tomb.
