<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 6955277, member: 110350"]Thank you. I don't think it's really possible to narrow things down further chronologically, since the vast majority of readily available and affordable (at least to me!) ancient Egyptian artifacts come from the Late Period, specifically the 26th or Saite Dynasty, and to a lesser extent the 30th Dynasty and the Ptolemaic period. (Except for scarabs, since for whatever reason, one often sees scarabs for sale dating back to the New Kingdom and the Hyksos period. Of course, millions of scarabs, quite literally, have been found.) Also, the art and artifacts under the 26th Dynasty were in a deliberately archaizing style, which is another reason, besides availability, why they're so popular. </p><p><br /></p><p>No, you weren't responsible for what happened to that thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
