Two bronze figurines of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife and rebirth, were recently discovered by archaeologists in the village of Kluczkowice in Opole Lubelskie County, Poland.

The discovery is believed to be a part of a collection once owned by the Kleniewski family, who lived in the Palace of Kluczkowice before the German invasion of Poland during World War II.

Maria Kleniewska, a member of the family, documented her visit to Egypt in 1904 in her diary, where she recorded spending four months in Cairo and visiting Alexandria.

However, what happened to Maria after the war is still unknown. Her husband had died during World War I, and her son, who had inherited the estate, was killed during World War II.

Kleniewski family might have hidden the artifacts

Experts believe that the family may have hidden ancient artifacts to keep them safe from the German SS during World War II, or after the war, when the palace was looted and valuables taken away.

1. The Greek Reporter is a very interesting publication

Thanks for sharing.

This story has so much poignance and tragedy: Maria’s adventure in Egypt and then her unknown fate, and the deaths of her husband and son in the two wars.
