I find it amazing they were able to make something like this mask so long ago.I can't seem to find out how they did it.Maybe cause it was never no mystery? Can someone enlighten me?Hard to believe they hammered something of such great detail out of a piece of gold.I never read anywhere that that is simply how they did it.It is way to detailed for that is it not? Tired of guessing but not of reasearching myself to find out.Everything about this is more interesting to me than anything but maybe how the universe itself was forged.Any ideas or input on this would be great even if you don't know how it was made. Thanks

I think the mask was made in several sections from different sheets of gold - the join between the face and the rest of the mask can be clearly seen, and some people have suggested that the face was replaced from another mask. It is a remarkable piece of work, but it wasn't difficult to beat gold in those days, as it is not difficult today. To me, the solid gold coffin is perhaps more impressive in it's manufacture.
