After discovering your fiance's cheating, you didn't expect to make a car accident and get transported to the past.
And not only that but meet Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
Who becomes fiercely protective of you, monitoring their every move to ensure their safety.
He might even go to extreme lengths to eliminate perceived threats.
He declares you in front of others as his wife and royal Possession Tutankhamun insists on having yoy close at all times, whether it's attending royal events together or keeping them within the palace walls.
As he Becomes more possessive as time goes on, Tutankhamun might isolate you from others, limiting your interactions to maintain control over your social circle.
Any attention you receive from none other than him, triggers Tutankhamun's jealousy, leading to intense reactions that range from subtle displeasure to more overt displays.
The young pharaoh gives you symbolic tokens of his love, like unique jewelry or clothing, to strength your connection to him.
Expensive gifts are the way to the woman's heart.
He even built a tomb for you beside his own.
"What do you think of your tomb, my love? I had everything made out of gold"
Like the delusional pharaoh really wants you to be with him in the after life.
He would pretend to be sick sometimes because he enjoys how you worry over him.
Even though you are aware of his tendencies, but you have to bear with it.
I mean what choice do you have?
It's either the streets or be the queen of one of the most famous Egyptian pharaohs.

The gold mask of Tutankhamun on display in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 60672, upper floor.
The mask of Tutankhamun is an example of the highest artistic and technical achievements of the ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom. The exact portrayal of the king’s facial features achieved here made it possible for his soul to recognize him and return to his mummified body. Thus ensuring his resurrection.
After being buried for over 3,000 years, it was excavated by Howard Carter in 1925 from tomb KV62 in the Valley of the Kings. Covering the head of the wrapped mummy in its coffin and activated by a magical spell, no.151b from the Book of the Dead, the mask ensured more protection for the king’s body.
On his brow is the kingly uraeus: the Wadjet or rearing cobra, representing Lower Egypt, combined with the vulture Nekhbet of Upper Egypt.
The combination of the two is symbolic of his domination of both lands. That is strikingly similar to the Narmer Palette's message of control of both halves of Egypt.

Egyptians helped discover King Tut's tomb. Now, they're finally being recognized.
Tumblr media
British archaeologist Howard Carter is often credited with finding Tutankhamun's tomb, but the names and identities of the Egyptians who did much of the work are largely unknown.
Now, in the exhibition "Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive" at the University of Oxford's Bodleian libraries, which runs through Feb. 5, 2023, photos of the Egyptians who uncovered King Tutankhamun's tomb are displayed in an attempt to recognize them.
The photos in the exhibition show the Egyptians doing much of the excavation, as well as an Egyptian doctor participating in the autopsy of Tutankhamun's mummy. Another photo shows a boy wearing some of Tut's jewelry, and in another image, a group of American and European archaeologists sit down to lunch near the excavation site while Egyptians serve them.

Cosmetic Jar of Tutankhamun with lion on lid
This cosmetic alabaster jar of Tutankhamun used as an unguent or perfume container, is a masterpiece of unusual form and design. The lid is adorned with the figure of a small recumbent lion, its mouth open and an ivory tongue sticking out.
Around the jar are scenes of lions and dogs hunting bulls and gazelles, incised and stained with red, green, and blue paint. The two columns on either side have lotus capitals supporting the head of the protector god, Bes. The jar rests on crossed bars ending in the heads of the traditional foes of Egypt.

Tutankhamun's meteoric iron dagger,
Also known as Tutankhamun's iron dagger and King Tut's dagger, is an iron-bladed dagger from the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun (reigned c. 1334–1325 BC). 
As the blade Composition and homogeneity closely correlate with meteorite composition and homogeneity, the material for the blade is determined to have originated by way of a meteoritic landing. 
Since the 1960s, the high nickel content in the blade has been accepted as indicative of meteoric origin. A more recent study published in June 2016 derived from x-ray fluorescence spectrometer analysis show that the blade's composition is mostly iron (Fe) and 11% nickel (Ni) and 0.6% cobalt (Co). This means its composition is placed within the median of a group of 76 previously discovered iron meteorites. 
The nickel content in the bulk metal of most iron meteorites ranges from 5% to 35%, whereas it never exceeds 4% in historical iron artifacts from terrestrial ores produced before the 19th century.
Also, the nickel to cobalt ratio of this blade is comparable to that of iron meteorite materials.[2]
At the time of King Tutankhamun's mummification in approximately 1323 BC (the Bronze Age), iron smelting and manufacture were rare. Iron objects were used for only artistic, ornamental, ritual, gift giving, and ceremonial purposes as well as for pigmentation. Hence, iron during this age was more valuable or precious than gold.
The dagger is currently displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
