One of the first photos of the Nefertiti bust, Amarna, 1912.

Handwritten note by Ludwig Borchardt on the discovery of the bust. Aside from a quick sketch, it contains the remark “No use describing it, you have to see it.”

FINALLY!!! Lmao sketching is probably the second hardest thing for me especially if one does not know how to draw what where and so many questions WHY- But anyhow I hope ya all like this interpretation of @vesperlionheart : Kingdom of God (especially you Vesper ). I thought about giving Sai that kind of priest like aura (Bruh I tried) but I think I managed to make Sasuke look like a jerk (me is proud of that) so yeah I also thank you for your super sweet and nice response on my last post Vesper thank you so so so very much, you are too sweet and I appreciate your support so much :“) ❤❤❤ Please show her some love, you guys! ~Original Fanart, ya all ✌~

_{“SAQQARA KINGS LIST was found in a funerary shrine above the tomb of a lector priest by the name Tjunery (ṯwnry), who lived during the reign of Ramesses II. The location of the tomb is lost, but supposedly south of Djoser’s step pyramid, close to the pyramid of Unas, between the Monastery and Sekhemkhet’s enclosure.}

_{The inscription originally listed 58 kings in two rows of 29 kings each, in reverse chronological order, starting with Ramesses II, going backwards to Adjib. It was discovered in eight parts, with a section missing, which was searched for but never found. It is assigned inventory number JE 11335 (CG 34516), and is on display in Hall 9 at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.}

_{It was written in the tradition of Lower Egypt, i.e. preferring honored ancestors with a strong affinity in Lower Egypt. The purpose of the list was to show celebrated “ancestors,” and was not meant to be a complete chronological list, apparent by the exclusion of Hatshepsut and the heretic Amarna pharaohs.” [X]}

this one’s for an art battle, the theme was ‘Anubis’. It was rather ambitious work for me (5 characters, perspective, composition, full colour, even some fx and zero flying heads can you imagine)

The ankh also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata (Latin meaning “cross with a handle”), was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read “life”.

It represents the concept of eternal life, which is the general meaning of the symbol. The Egyptian gods are often portrayed carrying it by its loop, or bearing one in each hand, arms crossed over their chest.

Sahure was the second pharaoh of Ancient Egypt‘s 5th Dynasty.

Huni was an ancient Egyptian king and last pharaoh of the 3rd dynasty during the Old Kingdom period. He succeeded Pharaoh Khaba to the throne of Egypt. Following the Turin king list, he is commonly credited with a reign of 24 years, ending c. 2600 BC.
