Rare Coffin of Ramses II Egyptian Antiquities Ancient BC Pharaonic Antiques BC. The coffin of Ramesses II is one of the most-striking royal coffins discovered from ancient Egypt. Though stripped of its original embellishments, this late 18th Dynasty coffin is of the highest quality imported wood and was carefully reprocessed for the reburial of Ramesses II at the end of the New Kingdom. The coffin and its occupant were discovered within the Royal Cache at Deir el-Bahari in 1881. At first, Egyptologists believed that the cache was created in order to protect the burials of several New Kingdom pharaohs, their family members, and the High Priests of Amun. However, recent reanalysis of the archaeological and textual evidence paints a more nuanced-picture of the situation in ancient Thebes. At the end of the New Kingdom, the ruling powers of Thebes (the High Priests of Amun) had limited access to gold mines in the south and lacked the ability to import precious raw materials, like wood, from the north.
