An ancient inscription, which scholars judge as credible, states that Pharaoh Thutmose III of Egypt (second millennium B.C.E.) presented some 13.5 tons [12 t] of gold to the temple of Amun - Ra at Karnak.
Teadlased peavad usutavaks üht iidset raidkirja, kus teatatakse, et Egiptuse vaarao Thutmosis III (teine aastatuhat e.m.a) annetas Karnaki Amon - Ra templile 13,5 tonni kulda.
