Hannifer granite sarcophagus during the reign of Ramses II in 1225 BC
This sarcophagus is a granite sarcophagus from the reign of Ramses II in 1225 BC. It was found in Hannifer, Egypt, hence the name Hannifer sarcophagus. This sarcophagus is carved from a huge granite monomer. Its dimensions are very large, measuring about 3.7 meters (12 feet) long and weighing about 120 tons. The inside of the sarcophagus was originally empty and no body was found. However, its design and decoration suggest that it was once a funeral vessel for an important person. The exterior of the sarcophagus is decorated with fine reliefs depicting religious and mythological scenes of ancient Egypt. It was given to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England in 1835.
