This is a relatively new artifact made from solid gold which was first used in the past festival during the ceremony of Hathor. The priest would Carry this water dish and then sprinkle the holy water on the flowers and temple floor.

| Was Staff Head |
Raw material cost: 55
Cost + Craftsmanship: 58
This arifact has been used in every festival since the Festival of Khonsu, and it has been taken to Egypt Island. The headpiece is roughly 1/4 gold and 3/4 silver. In the festivals and religious ceremonies when it is used, the priest would carry it around in the procession. This is a set of 3 staff heads, each interchangeable.
#8, The Dagger and Sheath
 |
| The Dagger and Sheath |
Raw material cost: 54
Cost + Craftsmanship: 58
Made during the beginning of the Year of the Sphinx, this artifact was made for the leader of the Army and the Governor of Tanis, Trey, the face of shame. This artifact is not much of a weapon, but a piece of decoration. The wearer would have tied the sheath with the dagger inside to his tunic. He would want to defend this fairly well however, because it is, with the exception of the lotus handle decoration, the blade, and the ore of the dagger, made of solid gold.
#7, The Ankh

| The Ankh |
Raw material cost: 55
Cost + Craftsmanship: 59
Total + History: 60
Made of solid gold, this Ankh s very expensive! Not just because it is 100% gold, but because of how old it is. This Ankh has been around since the start of the Egypt game, and has been used in almost every event. The user holds the top of the Ankh, almost like it is a handle. Holding the Ankh represents that you either control life, give life, protect life, or accepts life. This is most likely why the Pharaoh has it near by in every Egypt event!
#6, Isis Collar

| The Isis Collar |
Raw material cost: 62
Cost + Craftsmanship: 66
Total + History: 67
This sold gold (+ the occasional pieces of silver) collar is from the very beginning of the game and belongs to the Governess of Memphis and the current 2nd in command, Jordan. This collar shows Isis, wings outstretched, protecting the wearer. The user wears this piece like a necklace, and the counterweight in the back keeps the collar from slipping forward.
#5, The Cobra Crown
 |
| The Cobra Crown |
Raw material cost: 77
Cost + Craftsmanship: 81
Total + History: 82
Made to fit the Pharaoh's royal original attire, this crown has been worn by the Pharaoh during every festival, trips to Egypt Island, and during every Halloween since the game began. The cobra grants protection and prosperity to the wearer. With the crown being made of solid gold, there is no shock that it is expensive!
#4, The Statue of Khonsu
 |
| The Statue of Khonsu |
Raw material cost: 209
Cost + Craftsmanship: 215
This statue is the second temple statue ever made for the festivals and the temples. This statue has been used in every festival since the festival of Khonsu. It is very expensive because it is made out of solid gold, plus the huge chunk of silver for the lunar disk on his head.
#3, The Osiris Plate
 |
| The Osiris Plate |
Raw material cost: 247
Cost + Craftsmanship: 253
This plate was made for the Temple of Osiris. The Temple was finished, the offering plate was made, but then a huge rainstorm came and destroyed the temple. The temple has not yet been rebuilt, so we have this excessive plate just sitting around. Actually, we put it to a different use. This solid silver plate, with the exception of the gold stars, holds all the money in the treasury. So, look for it the next time you get paid at a temple draft.
#2, The Sorbek Statue
 |
| The Sorbek Statue |
Raw material cost: 356
Cost + Craftsmanship: 368
The first large temple statue ever, this Sorbek statue has never been used in a festival. The statue has traveled to Egypt Island twice and, while at the island, was spayed with gloss to keep it safe from the elements. Unfortunately, the unattended consequence of this is that the gold statue looks more like plastic than gold. Because it is so valuable and is made with a little over a pound of gold , whenever it makes its trip to the island, we have to keep a hand o it, just in case the boat tips, so that the statue won't sink straight to the bottom.
#1, The Statue of Hathor
 |
| The Statue of Hathor |
Raw material cost: ???
Cost + Cratsmanship: ???
This statue is the third temple statue ever to be made. It has most recently been used in its first festival, the Festval of the New Year. Because the statue is so tall, it had to be made in two pieces and then assembled. This statue took the longest to make out of the three current temple statues, and with the time it took to make it, the quality increased. Yes, this is the statue with the highest quality, and it is the heaviest statue. It is the heaviest temple statue because during it's constuction, less structure was used inside of it, and more gold was used instead. The statue is smooth, and shines brightly in the sun. When the statue was weighd for an idea on how much it cost, the spring scale thumped straight to the bottom. So, we have almost no idea about how much this baby costs, we just know that it used well over a pound of gold in it's constuction, so definately over 352 coins. But, you have to also keep in mind that each spot on the cow is equal to about 1 silver coin... We may never know how much this piece costs, but it is the most expensive treasure in Egypt for sure!
