If you're going to San Francisco be sure to wear some glazed composition beaded necklace in your hair

Either this one, or one very similar, was sold at auction in 2024 for approx. £6000 (according to Google) - https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/an-egyptian-amethyst-cat-amulet-late-period-to-pt-126-c-1e6481dac0

That is a stunner.

A ring like this was offered on an online auction a few years ago.

As a bangle lover, I am dying here!!!

That alone is inspiring to be creative again

yeap, next design to the entrance for my sauna

Gorgeous 🧡 I want to say I want but for some reason I fee like I dont deserve this.

I would definitely wear these.

Did they all happen on the same day to the same person? That would have been a day to forget all right.

At first thought the left was a "this is what it originally looked like", but they're 2 different daggers - the sheaths have different designs, & blade colours, so assuming it means the one on the right?

Beautiful.

The bird knows!

I didn't know they had hedgehogs in Egypt.

Dang.. That show's been around forever

Arms must be tired

Below, resting upon a boat, can be seen a lapis lazuli sun-disc, with an image of the enthroned god Amun-Ra-Horakhty before the goddess Maat at its center. Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty, ca. 887-885 BC. Tomb of Shoshenq II at Tanis. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 72171

The ancient version of tryna throw your hard drive into the ocean

Another intricate animal head on a simpler human body. I wonder if two artists worked on these?

probably had a couple of cats to get rid of the mice but they became friends instead

My scalp is hurting.

The rising waters of the lake threatened to submerge the historic Abu Simbel temples. To preserve these significant cultural artefacts, the temples were dismantled and moved to a new location between 1964 and 1968. The temples were relocated to a site 65 meters higher and 200 meters further inland from their original location. This new spot was on an artificial hill, ensuring that the temples would remain above the water level of the newly formed lake. The larger of the two temples is dedicated primarily to the god Amun, but also to Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, as well as to Pharaoh Ramesses II himself, celebrating his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. This smaller temple pictured, also known as Nefertari's Temple was dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and motherhood, and to Nefertari, Ramesses II's chief consort, acknowledging her significant role alongside the pharaoh.

Kind of a chubby mook of a sphinx

The eyeliner business was going well in ancient Egypt.

Upvote for kitties.

Looks like the wings could open..

bet those blokes in the ballet can't do that!

is it just me or is that thing shimmering/fuzzy to look at?

Weren't they siblings as well?

It's amazing that they were able to see into the future and construct an homage to the monument in Washington D.C.

Not unsettling AT all.

"I swear, I didn't do it! I was framed!"

The equivalent of French gargoyles are Egyptian lions? Awesome!

Magnificent

Even ancient grave robbers knew what would be unleashed if they broke the seal.

I find the detailed animal heads fascinating when combined with the stylized bodies.

The most memorable part is the ceiling.

I guess decorative spoons have always been popular.

Do you remember the time?!

The first beer bong!
