A silver sarcophagus of King Shashenq II, one of the kings of Egypt in the twenty-second family, and the silver collection as material for making funerary furniture for this king give an indication of a clear case of great wealth for this family as silver was more expensive than gold at the time and the countries for their scarcity compared to gold asked for more gold from Amenhotep the Third Because gold in Egypt is as much as dirt, he says!
