La muerte es un viaje muy largo, por lo que más vale tener ropa interior limpia. En la tumba de Kha y Meryt, él tenía 50 taparrabos, que era una prenda unisex y para todas las clases, incluido el faraón, que podía llevarse sin nada más o bajo otra prenda. 🏛️Museo Egipcio de Turín #antiguoegipto #ancientegypt

The Reality of Dreams
Throughout Human history, dreams have fascinated, inspired and disturbed us. Where do they come from? Why do they happen? What do they mean? Different civilisations have tried to answer these questions. The Ancient Mesopotamians thought of dreams as divine messages.

#AncientEgyptian princesses were ‘powerful’ weapon users, new analysis suggests
These findings challenge a long-held belief about weapons found in female burial sites
By Jackie Flynn Mogensen, July 17, 2026
Excerpt: " 'We wanted to see if the skeletons themselves supported the presence of the weapons found beside them,' [#ZeinabHashesh] says.
"By looking at the princesses’ internal bone structure and muscle attachment sites, as well as by analyzing chemical signatures left on the remains, Hashesh and her team began to piece together a picture of what the princesses’ daily lives and burials may have looked like.
" 'Our big takeaway is that these women were ‘active ritual agents’ whose lives involved disciplined physical strength,' she says, participating in activities that possibly included archery or the use of daggers.
"In Princess Ita’s case, her muscle attachments 'strongly reflect the habitual gripping of weapons like daggers or maces,' Hashesh says.
"Even more clear was Princess Noub-Hotep, whose skeleton, she says, 'provides the most definitive evidence for the 'archer’s grip,' including 'a unique bowing' of a hand bone, a feature that Hashesh sees as evidence of having to drawing a bow.
"Meanwhile, she adds, Princess Itaweret appeared to have survived 'significant trauma” to her ribs and feet bones, 'indicating a high-risk, active lifestyle.' "

Nebamun continues – I'm working on the bottoms of a pair of birds at the moment. The column I'm stitching is 50 stitches wide and involves a lot of different colours in every row so progress is roughly one row or a bit less each hour.

If you're into ancient history, especially ancient Egypt, I highly recommend this video. Instead of just focusing on the pharaohs, it looks at the daily lives of an ordinary couple, Kha and Merit. It is a really interesting and humanizing look at the past.

Papiro demótico con una queja hacia un arpista anciano llamado Horudja, quien aparentemente creía tener talento cuando cantaba fatal y solo las canciones más conocidas. Le acusaba de ignorar las normas y de gula, colándose en hogares ajenos para comer tanto como varias personas. 🏛️Museo de Historia del Arte de Viena #antiguoegipto #ancientegypt #papiros #papyrus
