This heart scarab was made to protect someone’s heart. Its shape as a scarab beetle represents the word of “being” or “becoming,” signifying both the eternal essence of the deceased and the regenerative powers of the inscribed amulet in the afterlife.

Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. That’s not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in you’re looking at more like… 5,000 years.
Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE ‘BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST’
We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.
It’s a really long time guys.

(It’s not Chapter 8, it’s Chapter 7.5😅)
Since Prideshipping came up short in chapter 7 and today's Kaiba’s birthday, I thought I’d write a little extra scene. After all, we all need some pointless, bittersweet fluff (and some angst at the end because apparently I just can't help myself) in these tiring times ❤️️
In which Seto and Atem spend the night with what’s most typical for them.

“O You Gods, I am Isis, Osiris’s sister, Who wept for the father of the Gods, Osiris, Who put an end to the massacring of the Two Lands. His seed is within my womb. It is as son of the foremost of the Ennead Who will rule this land, become heir to Geb, speak on His father’s behalf, and slay Seth, the adversary of His father Osiris”
(from spell 148 of the Coffin Texts, translation from “The Literature of Ancient Egypt” by W.K.Simpson)
detail from one of the coffins of King TutankhAmon (now in the Cairo Museum):
the Goddess Isis with outstretched wings and kneeling on the hieroglyphic symbol for “gold”
