Egyptian animal mummy 🐕 Lovingly preserved, a hunting dog whose bandages fell off long ago likely belonged to a king. As a royal pet, it "would have been fed nibbly bits and spoiled rotten," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. When it died, it was interred in a specially prepared tomb in the Valley of the Kings. #kingsway #dogoftheday #doglover #dogworld #kingsandqueens ##egypt🇪🇬 #egyptians #egyptianhistory #doggydaddy #mummylife www.ancient-origins.net/king (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWkgRAJq6jNnSYt3B6nnq6vb8IegITMaZ9c9I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The first title implies wider authority. Amenemope-em-hat holds before him the cult object of the cow-eared goddess Hathor 𓉡 “ḥw.t-ḥr” ‘The Temple of Horus’. The proportions of this figure, its muscularity, and such details as the slanted ridges of the collarbone and the shallow depression down the center of the torso represent a conscious attempt in the Late Period to emulate the classic works of the Old and Middle Kingdoms.

Posted @withregram • @egyptology_persian Pectoral of Sheshonq I The inscriptions on the ends of the solar boat on this gold pendant encrusted with lapis lazuli and glass paste state that it belonged to Sheshonq, the son of Nimlot. This could have been Sheshonq I, the founder of the Twenty second Dynasty, and therefore the pendant would have been inherited by his son Sheshonq Il in whose tomb it was found. It’s an image of a solar barque sailing across the primordial waters below a starry heavenly vault. A solar disc is shown in the center of the boat with a depiction of the goddess Maat standing beside the god Amun-Ra-Horakhty (partly shown) seated on a throne. At the end of the barque stands Maat with winged arms outstretched towards the sun disc. In her right hand she holds a plume (a symbol of truth, justice, harmony, morality, righteousness, order, and cosmic balance). In the left she holds a hieroglyph composed of the nefer sign (a symbol of perfection or completeness), the Wadjet-eye (a symbol of eternal rebirth), and the neb basket (the word used for 'all' or 'every', and 'lord' or 'master').

Cleopatra Unveiled: 6 Astonishing Secrets You'd Regret Not Knowing

Cleopatra VII, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, is one of history's most enigmatic and intriguing figures. Her life and reign have captivated the imaginations of people for centuries, and her story is steeped in mystery and legend. While we may never know all there is to know about Cleopatra, there are several astonishing secrets about her that shed light on her remarkable life and legacy. In this article, we'll delve into six of these secrets that you'd regret not knowing.

Secret 1: Cleopatra's Multilingualism

Cleopatra was not just a ruler; she was a highly educated woman who spoke multiple languages fluently. Beyond her native Greek, she also mastered Egyptian, Latin, and several other languages. Her linguistic prowess allowed her to communicate effectively with foreign dignitaries and negotiate alliances with powerful Roman leaders like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Cleopatra's ability to converse in different tongues was a key asset in her political strategies, enabling her to navigate the complex diplomatic landscape of her time.

Secret 2: Her Beauty Was More Than Skin Deep

Cleopatra is often depicted as one of the most beautiful women in history, but her allure extended far beyond her physical appearance. While she was undoubtedly attractive, it was her charisma, intelligence, and charm that truly won over the hearts of powerful men like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Cleopatra's ability to captivate those around her through her wit and personality played a significant role in her political influence and her ability to shape the course of history.

Secret 3: Cleopatra's Ingenious Beauty Secrets

Cleopatra's legendary beauty has inspired countless beauty regimens throughout history. One of her most famous beauty secrets was her use of milk baths. She believed that bathing in milk helped maintain her soft and radiant skin. Cleopatra also used a variety of natural ingredients, such as honey and aloe vera, in her skincare routine. Her dedication to self-care and her innovative approach to beauty treatments highlight her commitment to maintaining her image as a powerful and alluring queen.

Secret 4: Her Role in Egyptian Religion

Cleopatra understood the importance of aligning herself with the religious beliefs of her subjects. She presented herself as the living embodiment of the Egyptian goddess Isis, emphasizing her divine connection and her role as a protector of the Egyptian people. By intertwining her image with Egyptian religion, Cleopatra gained the support and loyalty of her subjects, strengthening her position as Pharaoh.

Secret 5: Cleopatra's Diplomatic Maneuvers

Cleopatra's political acumen was one of her most remarkable qualities. She navigated the tumultuous political landscape of the Roman Republic with finesse, forming strategic alliances with powerful Roman leaders. Her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony were instrumental in maintaining her throne and protecting Egypt's interests. Cleopatra even accompanied Caesar to Rome, a bold move that showcased her influence and commitment to her kingdom.

Secret 6: Her Tragic End

Cleopatra's life took a tragic turn after the defeat of Mark Antony and her lover's subsequent suicide. Faced with the impending capture by Octavian (later known as Augustus), Cleopatra made the fateful decision to end her own life. The method she chose was the bite of an asp, a venomous snake. This dramatic and iconic death symbolized her unwavering dedication to preserving her dignity and autonomy, even in the face of defeat.

In conclusion, Cleopatra's life is a tapestry of astonishing secrets and remarkable achievements. Her multilingualism, intelligence, beauty secrets, religious symbolism, diplomatic maneuvers, and tragic end all contribute to her enduring legacy. Cleopatra's story serves as a testament to the power of women in history and the indomitable spirit of a queen who left an indelible mark on the ancient world.
