Imagine movie!Loki somehow ending up in the Field of Reeds section of the Egyptian afterlife and encountering Taweret, who immediately recognises him as 'Frigga's youngest' and starts gushing over how adorable and handsome he is, and how much he's grown since she last saw him

When I saw Kisara’s silhouette shown in Kaiba’s eye in the second picture, a thought came to my mind: Kisara is where Atem is, meaning Duat, the world of the dead. And for the dead to be there, according to @kaleidraws’s post, one need all their parts — Ka (essence), Ba (personality), Sheut (shadow), Jb (heart), and Ren (name) — and a priest doing all the necessary spells and rituals to receive judgement from Anubis and, if determined a good person, to spend eternity happily in the afterlife. In other words, for Kisara to still be a spirit even after around 3000 years, Priest Seto must have fufilled all the requirements to give her a proper burial. Manga!Priest Seto is undeniably more twisted than his anime counterpart, but I find it beautiful how he ensured that Kisara would have a comfortable afterlife. 

(If Takahashi had had more time, he would have given us the relationship worthy of those lines.)

There’s also a certain tragedy to it. Because Priest Seto had to ensure Atem would get the eternal rest he deserved, he probably died without giving himself a proper burial so that he would reincarnate (which can be said the same for Isis and Shimon/Siamun). And knowing Kaiba’s refusal to acknowledge the connection between him and his past Egyptian life, I doubt he would follow the procedure of an Egyptain burial. This means he and Kisara will never be together and are only so as Duelist and Monster / guardian spirit.

im high but i was thinking about DE in terms of afterlife trials bc its like . harry "died" -> "reborn" into martinaise/"afterlife" -> the whole murder investigation as the trials -> "judgement" at the end. like some anubis shit. BUT WHAT GETS ME is that the judgement character, jean, is soooo flawed and biased. and in that way he represents the worlds biases against disabled people, the homeless, queer people and addicts. no matter how well you solve the murder jean doesnt WANT to give you credit. the further you are from kim the more desperate you are for a place in the rcm, and by extension his approval. you can bring the new life with you you can recruit kim and maybe one day internalize that there is so much more. you can leave you can be you and be glad to be you.

A large Egyptian gesso-painted wood model boat. Middle Kingdom, circa 2133-1797 B.C.

The sailing boat manned by ten sailors arranged in two parallel rows, with a further crew member facing forward and helmsman in the curved stern with a rudder, with a linen sail, the hull painted red, 130cm long. Boats were an integral part of everyday Egyptian life and mythology and as such were considered necessary for the afterlife. Two model boats were usually provided for each tomb, one showing the crew sailing south with the prevailing wind and the other the crew rowing north to allow the deceased to see the whole world of Egypt in both directions, but it also stands for the life and afterlife.. Both papyrus and wooden boats were recreated as models and represent the diversity of Egyptian boats.

The 52-Foot-Long Book of the Dead Papyrus from Ancient Egypt

Egypt has released photos of a newly discovered Book of the Dead from more than 2,000 years ago.

Egyptian officials have released photos of an ancient scroll, the 52-foot-long (16 meters) Book of the Dead papyrus recently discovered in Saqqara. The 10 images show ancient illustrations of gods and scenes from the afterlife, as well as text on the document, which is more than 2,000 years old.

Archaeologists discovered the Book of the Dead papyrus within a coffin in a tomb near the Step Pyramid of Djoser and announced the discovery on Jan. 14 for Egyptian Archaeologists Day, but this is the first time they've released images of the scroll to the public.

It was not unusual for ancient Egyptians to bury the Book of the Dead with the deceased, but they didn't call it that at the time. Rather, modern archaeologists coined the term "Book of the Dead" to refer to a collection of texts that ancient Egyptians thought would help guide the dead in the afterlife.

Papyrus for the dead

The 52-foot-long scroll was found at Saqqara in May 2022. It contains chapters from the Book of the Dead. It was recently restored and translated into Arabic and is now on display at The Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The text is written in hieratic, a script derived from hieroglyphs.

All rolled up

The papyrus was found rolled up in a coffin belonging to a man named Ahmose (not to be confused with a pharaoh who lived in earlier times). The man's name is mentioned in the papyrus about 260 times, the researchers said. He lived around 300 B.C., near the beginning of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a dynasty of pharaohs descended from one of Alexander the Great's generals.

Carefully unrolled

A team of researchers performed extensive conservation work so they could unroll the papyrus. Ahmose's tomb is located south of the step pyramid, built for Djoser, a pharaoh from the third dynasty who ruled from about 2630 B.C. to 2611 B.C. While this pyramid was built long before the time of Ahmose, it wasn't unusual to find Ahmose's tomb there, as people in ancient Egypt sometimes liked to be buried near the pyramids of long dead pharaohs.

Analyzing the scroll

The unrolled papyrus is seen here. It was written in black and red ink, and the quality of the writing indicates that it was written by a professional, researchers said. Despite the size of the scroll, there are longer Book of the Dead texts known from Egypt. For instance, a Book of the Dead papyrus, which is now in the British Museum, was originally 121 feet (37 m) long.

Ancient illustrations

This Book of the Dead text also contains illustrations. This image appears to show Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld. In Egyptian mythology, Osiris' life was ritually restored after he died — something that ancient Egyptians hoped would happen to them in the afterlife.

The deity Osiris

This image shows more details about Osiris. He is shown sitting on a throne while wearing an "Atef" crown, a type of crown often gracing the head of Osiris. There appear to be offerings before him, as well as a creature who may be Ammit, a deity who consumed anyone who was not worthy of being ritually restored in the afterlife.

Husband and wife

This image appears to depict offerings and a scene of a couple venerating Egyptian deities. This couple may be Ahmose and his wife (whose name is not known). Not much is known of Ahmose, but he was wealthy enough to have an elaborate copy of the Book of the Dead made for him.

Leading the cow

A number of scenes are illustrated in this section of the Book of the Dead. At the far left, a cow appears to be led somewhere — perhaps to be given as an offering. A number of images depict boats, which could be used to navigate the underworld.

Weighing against a feather

This close-up shows a creature, possibly Ammit, sitting before Osiris. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the heart of the deceased is weighed against the feather of Maat, a god associated with truth, justice and order. If the person's bad deeds in life were great, their heart would be heavier than the feather, and Ammit would devour the deceased.

Osiris and Isis were divine lovers of Ancient Egyptian mythology. They were so in love that when Osiris was slain, Isis resurrected him...twice, before he took his place as Lord of the Underworld.

Anubis and The Witch.

Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death, was seen having tea with a witch in the underworld. The two were seated at a small table in a dimly lit room, surrounded by shadows. Anubis wore his usual black robes, while the witch was dressed in a long, flowing gown and had a pointed hat on.

As they sipped their tea, they engaged in a lively conversation. Anubis spoke of the souls he had recently guided to the afterlife, while the witch shared stories of her magical exploits. Despite their different backgrounds, they seemed to enjoy each other's company.

The tea was served in delicate porcelain cups and accompanied by small cakes and biscuits. The atmosphere was peaceful, with only the sound of their voices and the occasional clink of a teacup breaking the silence. It was a unique sight to see the god of death and a witch sharing a moment of relaxation in the underworld.
