The Tomb of Sennefer is one of the most preserved and beautifully decorated tombs ever found in Egypt. Known as The Tomb of the Vineyards, itโs covered in colors and stories, and is buried deep in the mountain below 42 very steep steps.
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. Mary Magdalene makes early trips to Jesus's tomb, maybe to anoint His Body with funeral oils, or maybe just to cry. In this cartoon, she refers to these trips as her "mourning routine." The word "mourning" (grieving) sounds like "morning" (the early part of the day). This pun implies that Mary's early daily ritual (her "morning routine") is one of sorrow (hence, "mourning routine").
2. As Mary approaches Jesus's tomb in John's version of the story, she sees that it's open and hurries to the apostles to have them inspect it. In this cartoon, however, she's too exhausted to recognize what the open tomb implies (that the dead Jesus has somehow left His tomb). She continues into the tomb to wait for Him to return, and only after several minutes does the event literally dawn on her. This particular sunrise has seen the Son rise.
Confluence: The Tomb of Wax.
Fallen gods and the true ones, their lives are somehow reflected in the light of the candles in the buried tomb. Some candles are bright, tall and well wick'd, the gods they mirror adored and cared for and respected throughout the Coast and beyond.
The ones that are dimming, dripping wax and stuttering, almost drowning? Their gods are struggling, working to keep their worship steady, blessing the mortals around them to keep their forms, to stay alive.
And the candles that are out, wicks burned and fragile, wax hardened and dripped to the floor? Nothing will bring back the spark of what they once shone for, no matter how many matches you burn.
