Scenes of the deceased seated at an offering table or receiving offerings of food from their children represent the outcome of Egyptian funerary rites. The dead have achieved blessed status through ritual, and now receive the sustenance that allows them to survive eternally.

The eldest son was responsible for the funeral and cult of the deceased. To the left, the eldest son of Djehutyemhab extends a tall bouquet to his father, whose image is only partly preserved. Other children follow bringing fruit, fish, birds, and a small calf.

On the right, Djehutyemhab and his wife, Baketkhonsu, are seated before an offering table.

Djehutyemhab took over an unfinished tomb from an earlier owner. Here, the earlier multicolored hieroglyphs contrast with Djehutyemhab’s simple red additions.

This 3,000-year-old wooden toe prosthetic discovered on an Egyptian mummy is believed to be one of the world's oldest of such devices.

New research found that the wooden toe was refitted several times. Based on the meticulous construction of the ancient prosthesis, the researchers determined the wearer — a priest's daughter — wanted the toe to look natural and be comfortable to wear. The Early Iron Age prosthesis was found in a tomb cut into the older burial chapel at the graveyard hill of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, west of Luxor, Egypt. I bullshit you not.

Storage Boxes with Linen Dynasty 18, reign of Hatshepsut (ca. 1479-1458 B.C.) From the tomb of Ramose and Hatnofer, Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Thebes These two whitewashed boxes originally held lengths of linen 𓊪𓎡𓈎𓋳 “pAk.t”, many of which bear the mark of the treasury, indicating that they came from the royal stores. The boxes were closed by winding a string around the two knobs (one on the tront of the box, the other on the lid. A piece of mud would then be pressed around that string and a seal would be impressed on the mud. 𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬 📸 @egyptologylessons 𓋹𓊽𓋴𓆖𓎛𓇳𓎛 © (@metmuseum and description) 𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁 #Ancientegypt #ägypten #egyptianhistory #egyptology #hieroglyphs #egypte #egitto #埃及 #مصر #egipto #이집트 #linen #linenbox #royal https://www.instagram.com/p/CddrVhzuZqW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
