Chariot Body of Thutmose IV

Deep in the Valley of the Kings, archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered something remarkable in 1903 — the nearly 3,400 year-old chariot body of Thutmose IV, the 8th pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt.

Found in his tomb, KV 43, this chariot is one of the few Egyptian examples to survive into the modern day.

It was part of the king’s burial items, meant to serve him in the afterlife and offers a rare glimpse into the past.

Made from lightweight wood, the chariot was designed for speed and maneuverability, essential for both battle and ceremony.

It wasn’t just practical. It was also beautifully decorated, likely with gold leaf, leather, and intricate designs.

These details highlighted the king’s power and status, fitting for a ruler who was both a warrior and a god-like figure.

The discovery of Thutmose IV's chariot gives us a valuable look at the engineering and artistry of the 18th Dynasty.

Despite being buried for millennia, its preservation helps us understand the significance of chariots in ancient Egypt and showcases the skill of its craftsmen.

Would you accept an already drunk elf's invitation to go bar hopping in the notoriously rowdy Adventurer's district?

Sherry Lilet was born to a wealthy family that fell on hard times after the sudden death of her father when she was just a girl. Her mother raised her and two other sisters on vineyard. There she learnt all the skills needed for being useful on a farm while also being educated for her eventual return to high society. She grew up unafraid to break a sweat and with a taste for drink and tolerance that would put the most boastful Adventurer to shame. Known as infectiously enthusiastic about her passions, she's notorious for roping people into hijinks and misadventures.
