Guilded Wood Ushabtis of Tutankhamun These royal ushabtis 𓆷𓄿𓍯𓃀𓏏𓏭𓀾 “šwbty” in the photo are only two of several other statuettes used to serve the pharaoh 𓉐𓉼 “pr-ˁ3” ‘Great House’ in the afterlife. What is of particular interesting is that they each wears the royal crown of a designated region of kingship. The left wears the white crown 𓌉𓏏𓋑 “ḥḏ.t” of Upper Egypt/Southern 𓇾𓇙 “t3-šmˁ” and the right wears the red crown 𓇋𓈖𓇋𓋔 “ini” of Lower Egypt/North 𓇾𓇊 “t3-mḥw”. Both statues are meant to brandish the sceptres of kingship - the crook 𓂝𓅱𓏏𓋾 “ˁw.t” and flail 𓈖𓐍𓐍𓌅 “nḫ3ḫ3” (the left statuette is mushing a flail). 𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬 @egyptologylessons 𓋹𓊽𓋴𓆖𓎛𓇳𓎛 © 𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁 #Ancientegypt #ägypten #egyptology #egypte #egitto #埃及 #مصر #egipto #이집트 #tutankhamun #ushabtis #egyptiancrown #pharaoh #ruler #ancientegyptianarts https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpp1lPCuTrI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's oft forgotten that amongst the Pegasus-pattern, the Ushabti Omnigun is no mere paracausal existence; the nature of its containment and rumoured-intelligence points to it being a yet-to-be categorised NHP.

No attempts of breaching the containment has yielded intelligence, yet accounts from surviving pilots of cascading SISYPHUS NHPs have noted the NHP conversing with an unknown figure manifesting from the containment field.

As footage of this are often rare and/or tampered, their existence is still under debate.

The 'Vox Populi' is an extensive retrofit of a remilitarised civilian Everest Type-VJ chassis, seemingly incorporating technology from the PEGASUS Pattern Group (DS Subpattern). The appearance of the PG on Sparr is currently unexplained. Further investigation may be warranted.

We need confirmation on the horseless carriage situation in the Neath. Big Benz invented the car in like 1650 or something. It's AT LEAST 1900 right now in Fallen London according to several texts. RS needs to sashay out of her townhouse and cruise about at 2 miles an hour down the nearest boulevard or thoroughfare. It's a perilous business. Hunting one of these Ushabti creeps. A living statue sounds right up my alley. I sorted through mountains of documents in the sunken embassy and these Devil bastards pay me dirt! Except dirt would be more valuable than what they gave me. They gave me some kind of cross or something from the IMPOSTER SYNOD. It has no apparent use and I can't sell it. I'm HATING this update! All it's done is call me an 'unremarkable lady'. I'll be finding whoever did this. Got an emergency blunderbuss shaped present for them, just in time for Christmas. Hunting a statue.

PS Sasha would eat ABBA up like no tomorrow. This wasn't really worth making a whole post about so here you are. She'd love it more than laudanum.

“In some burials at Abydos, ushabti figurines were stored in jars with jackal-form lids. The pottery jars resemble canopic jars, however the ushabti jars are inscribed with a brief text that also appears on ushabti figurines.”

Merry Christmas! I've done it again! More of me as LoadingReadyRun's character known as Dave's Spokesman, reading aloud @vexwerewolf's LANCER memes. As fitting for the start of this meme, I have decided to deliver the pegasus:

This time I have also delivered some additional editing! I hope you all enjoy! If not, there is probably a receipt somewhere.

Head from ushabti of Akhenaten

New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353-1336 BC. From Tell el-Amarna. North Carlolina Museum of Art. Raleigh. G.74.2.8

A Ushabti (Egyptian: wšbtj or šwbtj) was a funerary figure in the form of the likeness of the deceased, and was engraved with spells and incantations or, most commonly, a verse from the Book of the Dead (Chapter 6 most prevalent).

The reason for the Ushabti’s creation was to help provide the deceased with spiritual welfare, and help with activities and chores the deceased may have to partake in during their journey to the Afterlife, and while inhabiting the Afterlife. The Ushabti became a traditional funerary item during the Old Kingdom.
