Postcard from the exhibition of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs. This is a photo of a detail of the Golden Coffinette for the Viscera of Tutankhamun. Sent to a Postcrossing member in Greece.
The unbroken seal on Tutankhamen’s Tomb, 1922.
Left untouched for 3,245 years, the seal was later broken by Howard Carter.
The story goes that he also found an ancient clay tablet in the antechamber. When he later translated it, the inscription read: “Death will slay with his wings whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh”.
This would later become the famous “Curse of the Pharaohs”, which in fact is just a myth. The curse, which does not differentiate between thieves and archaeologists, allegedly can cause bad luck, illness, or death.
17 years later Carter would die at his London flat, next to the Royal Albert Hall, on 2 March 1939, aged 64 from Hodgkin’s disease. He was buried in Putney Vale Cemetery in London on 6 March, with nine people attending his funeral.
His love for Egypt remained strong; his epitaph on his gravestone read: “May your spirit live, may you spend millions of years, you who love Thebes, sitting with your face to the north wind, your eyes beholding happiness”, a quotation is taken from the Wishing Cup of Tutankhamun, and “O night, spread thy wings over me as the imperishable stars”.

I wanted to share with a stone that I wear every day & almost a tiny piece of the many that I own of Lapis Lazuli ᐂ Whether it is my heavy influence & love for Ancient Egypt & that the golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen was richly inlaid with Lapis, as were other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens - Or that it is a stone that encourages honesty of the Spirit, & in the spoken & written word - I’m obsessed with it
.
Is there a particular stone/crystal (or many) that you love?
