ANCIENT ART COUNCIL ANCIENT ART DEPARTMENT Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco LECTURE Plague in the Time of King Tut's Grandfather, Amenhotep III By ARIELLE KOZLOFF Former Curator of Ancient Art The Cleveland Museum of Art Amenhotep III (reigned ca. 1390-1352 B.C.) commissioned hundreds of statues for Sakhmet, the Egyptian goddess of plague and war, during a peaceful reign. Historical, art historical, sociological, and literary evidence suggest that this period was fraught with terrible disease, very possibly bubonic plague.
