  1. Science explains why ancient Egyptians worshipped the baboon

"For the ancient #Egyptians, the journey to the afterlife included a danger-filled journey where your wits were tested at every turn - those fortunate enough to make it through would then sit before the god Osiris & 42 other deities while their heart was weighed against a single feather [the goddess Maat, truth]. If things went sideways, your soul would be devoured by a fearsome goddess named Ammit, composed of a lion, hippopotamus & crocodile."

    Cleopatra is so famous that she often obscures a much older and powerful female Pharaoh known as Hatshepsut. She ruled Egypt nearly 15 centuries before Cleopatra, initially a a regent for her stepson and then as a Pharaoh in her own right. She wore the masculine garb of a pharaoh and was depicted on images as being a man. This was not to deny she was female but to demonstrate her power which relied upon such images. historyextra.com/period/ancien

  8. To make it clear: #zionists are largely NOT #semites. #Palestinians, some #Syrians and even #Egyptians are of the #semite people group.

    But zionists? Ethno-nationalist white supremacists from #Europe who have the goal of genociding actual semites to take over their land.

    The zionists are supporting #whitesupremacist and #neonazi movements in the west to get more traction in politics.

    This is who #AIPAC is currently funding, this is who the #conservatives of the #west are targeting as voters.

    More news is being announced about the missing Egyptian bracelet. According to latest news the bracelet was stolen on the 9th September from a conservation laboratory. A restorer sold it to a silver trader and eventually it passed hands into a gold traders hands. It was subsequently melted down. So sad that such an artefact has been treated in this way and the general public will never be able to see it. straitstimes.com/world/middle-

    The hunt is on for a gold bracelet that has gone missing from a museum in Cairo. The 3,000 year old bracelet disappeared at an unspecified date but all Egyptian airports, seaports and land borders have been provided with a picture of the bracelet in order to prevent it from being smuggled out of the country. A specialist team are also taking an inventory of all artefacts that were kept at a restorative laboratory. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4l1w

    A gold coin has been found by archaeologists in Jerusalem. It is over 2,000 years old and bears the portrait of Queen Berenice II on one side and a cornucopia and two stars on the other. What makes the find really exciting is that only 17 coins have been found in the last century, making it a very rare find. the coin features a Greek inscription "of the Queen" meaning she could have been a ruler in her own right. thenationalnews.com/news/mena/

    A 4,000 year old handprint has been found by museum curators. The complete handprint was described as a 'rare find' and was left by the maker of a clay model that was made between 2055 and 1650 BCE. The curators were putting together an exhibition about Egyptian crafts as this is an overlooked area of Egyptian life.

    A newspaper is today reporting about a tunnel which has been found that is hoped will lead to Cleopatra's tomb. This was reported previously (see link) but is worth telling as the photos are great. It is thought that the tunnel collapsed as a result of an earthquake. Artefacts were found that mention Cleopatra VII. It is hoped that her tomb will be found. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/

    A study has challenged the theory that cats were first domesticated to control pests that ate grain. The study has found that cats were first domesticated between the 2nd and 1st millennium BCE. But though cats were important in keeping rodents at bay, more importantly the cats were used for religious purposes. The link being between cats and the Egyptian goddess Bastet. More docile cats were bred to make handling easy for sacrifice. sciencefocus.com/news/creepy-c

    The theory that Queen Hatshepsut's statues were destroyed as an act of revenge has been debunked. A study found that the facial statues were damaged by being scattered over large areas. It also found that statues were commonly reused and so the damage to the statues on the neck, knees and waist happened to many statues not just those of Hatshepsut. Destruction could also happen through rituals performed on statues.theconversation.com/queen-hats

    Archaeologists have been excavating the tomb of Prince Waser-If-Re whose father was the founder of the 5th dynasty. Inside they found a door directly connecting the tomb which was about 14 feet tall and over 3 feet wide. Where did the door lead to? Well mysteriously it led to nowhere it was a false door. The door made of pink granite is the first of its kind to be discovered. Archaeologists are seeking to learn more. popularmechanics.com/science/a
