Textile; Garment; Tunic - British Museum Collection

Inventory Number: EA43071 New Kingdom, Ramesside, Dynasty 19, 1275BC (c.; ?) (c.; ?) Location Information: Deir el-Bahri (Thebes) (?) Africa: Egypt: Qena (Governorate): Luxor West Bank (Thebes): Deir el-Bahri (Thebes)

Description:

This tunic, with one long sleeve attached, bears a painted image of the goddess Hathor, shown as a cow emerging from the mountain of the West. Hieroglyphs above the cow describe her as 'Hathor foremost of Thebes, lady of heaven, mistress of the gods'. Around the animal's neck is a necklace with a sistrum (an emblem of Hathor) attached; between the horns are two feathers and a solar disc. The first line of the inscription below gives the title 'mistress of the house' and the name (unfortunately unclear but ending in '-imentet') of the woman who dedicated the tunic; the second line repeats the name and epithets of Hathor.

It has been described as a child's tunic, but it is more likely that it was specially produced as a votive offering to the goddess. Many types of votive objects were deposited in temples all over Egypt as gifts expressing devotion to deities, who, it was hoped, would in turn favour the donor. This and similar textiles may have been donated by women to the cult, perhaps accompanying specific prayers for children or successful childbirth. However, none of the inscriptions make reference to this. Another suggestion is that the tunics may have been used to clothe divine images; there is some evidence from the titles of the persons named on them that only those connected with the Hathor cult presented such garments. They presumably had to be stored carefully in the temples to maintain and protect the decoration and efficacy of the object.

The number of victims of a chlorine gas leakage at a sewage station in the “al-Omal City” (City of Workers) in Qena has risen to one death and 84 injuries, according to preliminary investigations.

The victims were transferred to Qena General Hospital.

A previous gas leakage in Qena occurred back in 2020.

Egypt’s Ministry of Health’s Undersecretary and head of the Qena Health Directorate, Ragy Tawadros, announced at the time that 61 people in Upper Egypt’s city of Nag Hammadi suffered from asphyxiation due to chlorine gas exposure, after a leak in the Naga Hammadi Barrage released the gas.

And earlier in 2018, the Alexandria Education Directorate evacuated students of 10 schools in al-Seyouf neighborhood due to the leakage of chlorine gas in the drinking water, which resulted in the suffocation of three students and the transfer of them to hospital.

Archaeologists Unearth Sphinx-like Roman-era Statue in Egypt

Authorities say archaeologists have unearthed a Sphinx-like Roman-era statue and the remains of a shrine in an ancient temple in southern Egypt.

Archaeologists unearthed a Sphinx-like statue and the remains of a shrine in an ancient temple in southern Egypt, antiquities authorities said Monday.

The artifacts were found in the temple of Dendera in Qena Province, 280 miles (450 kilometers) south of the capital of Cairo, the Antiquities Ministry said in a statement.

Archaeologists believe the statue's smiling features may belong to the Roman emperor Claudius, who extended Rome's rule into North Africa between 41 and 54 A.D., the ministry said.

It said archaeologists will conduct more studies on the markings on the stone slab, which could reveal more information to statue’s identity and the area. The statue is much smaller than the towering, well-known Sphinx in the Pyramids of Giza complex, which is 66 feet (20 meters) high.

The archaeologists also found a Roman-era stone slab with demotic and hieroglyphic inscriptions.

The limestone shrine includes a two-layer platform and a mud-brick basin from the Byzantine era, the ministry said.

Such discoveries are usually touted by the Egyptian government in hopes of attracting more tourists, a significant source of foreign currency for the cash-strapped North African country.

raised in a community center, nehkbet is the only parent that ami has ever known, and was encouraged to do such by her wards. knowing she wouldn't be an option for adoption at any point, ami was pushed to form a bond with the one parent that would always accept and love her. she had actually heard that nehkbet could have children without male input, and whether that was true or not, that's what ami believed. it worked for her.

following in the footsteps of the doula who worked at the community center, bringing life to all who successfully endured the grueling bearing process, ami wanted to serve her region in the same way, but even better, incorporating more knowledge and power. though this detour back to camp won't be short, it feels like just that: a detour.
