1. A 4,500 years old Egyptian dress
The dress was found in about 7,000 pieces (Human Remains warning) in a tomb at Giza (G7442, Shaft Z) and not put together for more than 60 years after it was discovered in 1927.
“Originally” it was put together slightly differently.
And here is how the burial chamber looks like and the sarcophagus the dress was found in. (Notice it’s not decorated, just like the vast majority of burial chambers of the time including the Great Pyramid.)
It was only possible to reconstruct it thanks to meticulous excavation documentation by George Reisner.
Here is a short article about the dress (p.15+16)
