Beaded Bracelet of Queen AhhotepThis beaded bracelet of Queen Ahhotep, which is one of a pair, was found along with other jewels inside her sarcophagus.
Second Intermediate Period, 17th Dynasty, ca. 1560-1530 BC. From Dra’ Abu el-Naga’, West Thebes. Excavation by A. Mariette (1859). Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 4685
The bracelet is composed of 30 rows of gold beads and semiprecious stones (lapis lazuli, turquoise and carnelian), alternating with each other in a special design to form triangles and squares.
The clasp is made out of two gold sheets that slide within each other to close the bracelet tight. The clasps are engraved with hieroglyphs that can only be read when the two gold plaques are closed together: they form the cartouches of the queen’s son, Ahmose, who founded the 18th Dynasty. His coronation name, Nebpehtyre, is given on one, and his birth name, Ahmose, on the other.Most of the objects found in the tomb of Queen Ahhotep bear the names of her sons, Kamose and Ahmose, the kings that chased the Hyksos out of the country.
The queen played a major role during the war of liberation as testified by the many objects that her sons donated to her grave goods. Some of those gifts were weapons, unusual for a woman’s tomb.

The Champion's Pokémon
Lance's main dragonite, Vernon, is generally pretty stern. He's also the oldest of Lance's pokémon, and acts like a father figure to the rest of them, often keeping them in line, but is still very caring. However, he's still a fierce fighter, and Lance's most trusted companion. The name Vernon comes from Wyvern, and also the home of George Washington, the first president of the US.
While most Metagross tend to be cold or aggressive, Lazuli is just the opposite. Steven's Metagross is incredibly sweet and patient, and loves to be pet. They're very gentle unless they're in a battle or around someone they deem dangerous. For unknown reasons, they also love children, which is an issue because most children are terrified of them. They're sort of like a giant puppy. Lazuli comes from Lapis Lazuli, a precious mineral known for its blue color.
If Lazuli is a puppy, then Mio is a cat. Milotic are known for being gentle, caring pokémon. While Mio is very kind to her trainer, Wallace, she's sassy and borderline vicious to nearly anyone else. She's very protective and takes a while to warm up to people, and for good reason given all they've gone through together. She's been known to bite and strike if someone she doesn't trust gets too close to her trainer. Mio's a name I use a lot when designing characters, and it stuck for her.
Cynthia's Garchomp Seliah is perhaps the strongest Pokémon in the region. She loves a good battle, but she's also Cynthia's closest friend. The two of them have an incredible bond, and it's said that she knows Cynthia better than anyone else, and knows even her trainer's darkest secrets. Seliah comes from Seilah, who was a minor villain in the Tartaros arc of the anime Fairy Tail.
Although he's technically not that old for a Volcarona, Ishmael is a wise soul. Generally calm and quiet, he's very patient and good-tempered. However, he's a good fighter nonetheless. He does have a tendency to get lost in thought though, and is quite the daydreamer. Ishmael comes from the biblical prophet, and also the narrator of Moby Dick.
Nagaia the Haxorus sees Iris more like a little sister than her trainer. Though she's not much older, she sees it as her duty to look out for Iris, and does a good job of it. She's incredibly loyal, and will listen to any command she's given, so long as she believes it's in her trainer's best interest. Nagaia is a combonation of the words Naga, a being from multiple eastern religions, and Gaia, the mother earth in Greek mythology
Adria is a kind soul who's always willing to lend an ear, especially to her trainer, Diantha. She tries her best to lighten the burden of being such an influential figure, and is one of the few people her trainer feels she can confide in. She's very gentle, but also tends to be rather reserved. Although she is a good fighter, she doesn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other champion's pokémon do. Adria comes from the Adriatic Sea, which is to the east of Italy.
Nike is just as hot-blooded and cocky as his trainer, and he's got a bad case of hubris to boot. Though, in all fairness, he's never been knocked out in a battle before. He'd rather spend all his days fighting, and gets frustrated easily when others take breaks for themselves, as he deems it as laziness. Needless to say, he's quite naïve, and also the youngest of the champion's pokémon. Nike is the Goddess of Victory in greek mythology

The Known History of The Amber Lily
Before the Doom of Draca Isla Pyramis, the large island continent located southwest of the western continent, was home to a rich diversity of floral and plant life. Amber lilies (The Blood Flower) were among the most abundant.
The lily has eight thick curved petal-like segments ranging in warm colors of a variety of reds. The ends of the petals fade into an orange hue and would brighten throughout its growth. The long tips within the petals have a golden, yellow hue that would sparkle in the sunlight during the day. At night these lilies glow bioluminescent when they reach maturity.
Many Naga's and Nagi's use the flower for healing purposes. One popular method is making herbal tea. By placing a lily blossom at the bottom of the cup or pitcher, they pour boiling fresh spring water over the lily in the cup and let it set for many minutes until warm enough to drink. They lily was also used to treat wounds and burns by making pastes from the bulbs and petals with other mixtures. Sometimes even smelling its blood orange, sandalwood aroma can improve respiratory illnesses and relax the body.
Naga's and Nagi's along with the Dragon's explored outside of their home, making new ones in all different parts of the world. Royal Naga/Nagi nesti's (families) as well ventured out at sea to explore, including that of the Agskaga nesti. Sailing across the Lapis Sea, they brought along with them seeds of the amber lily, in hopes to grow them elsewhere. They would find the perfect place for them to thrive located between two large continents, The Central Isles. There the soil and climate conditions would allow for them to grow.
The once home to the flourishing lilies would fall along with the rest of the island continent and those that lived there. A large catastrophic event would flood and fill the land with lava from the surrounding volcanoes. This made the amber lilies sacred to that of the Agskaga's. It would soon be the royals new house symbol.
Original design by Arielle W.M., Digital by @wyyvernn
After The Blood War, the amber lilies were introduced to the public. The sacred lilies were traded to kingdoms, cities, and villages in exchange for gold, silver, jewels/crystals, and other goods. This quickly grew the royal nesti into a respected, rich house along the isles. It had piqued curiosity among healers, who specialized in healing practices and potions. By studying the Blood Flower, they discovered plenty of other useful healing properties. Only a selected loyal few were allowed upon the royal's vast fields to learn about the lilies and to buy/trade directly from the Agskaga's. Their seeds, however, would never find its way to the continent of Glarium or to the western continent.
After a tragic demise of the death of the king and queen, private healers were forbidden to visit the fields. Trading still continued but only among royal allies.

— Bracelet of Queen Ahhotep I
This bracelet of Queen Ahhotep I is formed with two semicircles. Gold and lapis-lazuli were used to create its beautiful two-color decoration. The right semicircle depicts Geb, the god of earth, wearing the double crown and seated on the throne. His hands rest on a sign of protection that is on the shoulder and arm of the king kneeling before him.
The other half of the bracelet is engraved with a falcon and a jackal-headed figure representing the Souls of Pe and Nekhen, the mythical ancestors of the rulers of Egypt before unification. Kneeling, their arms are raised in the henu position, typically used in ceremonies and celebrations.
Left: Bracelet of Queen Ahhotep I. Right: Gold Inlaid Bracelet of Queen Ahhotep.

A rainbow of colors: This broad collar has 11 main sections made of gold, as well as a counterweight or (mankhet). It is standard collar of tubular beads and has hawks heads at either end. Each section has 8 rows of plaques, made of colored glass. The glass was meant to imitate semi-precious stones: light blue for turquoise, dark blue for lapis lazuli, black for obsidian and red for carnelian. The ninth row represents flower buds.

— Pectoral with the Throne Name of Tutankhamun
This is a masterpiece of pectoral from the collection of Tutankhamun. It is a pectoral decorated in a complex way: the central part of the pectoral which represents the throne name (or prenomen) of the king, consists in the middle of a large lapis lazuli scarab. Below it is the hieroglyphic sign “neb”, which resembles a basket inlaid with blue glass; above this are the solar and lunar disks made of electrum.
The outer edges of the pectoral are decorated with two cobras that appear to be too large in comparison to the ankh signs, and the wadjet or ‘eyes of Horus’, which are depicted very tightly under the name of the king.

The central scarab is provided with the wings of a falcon. At the bottom of the pectoral is a frieze of lotus flowers interspersed with cornflowers and roundels, all inlaid with lapis lazuli, carnelian, and colored glass.
The lapis lazuli is a very fine-grained rock consisting mainly of lazurite, a mineral responsible for the intense blue color, introduced in Egypt since the fourth millennium BC where it was used for the production of amulets, jewelry and inlays. It then spread to Greece and Crete until it reached the Etruscans and the Romans. In Europe this stone spread from the fifth century AD, where it was used both as a precious stone and as a natural pigment, the ultramarine blue. From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61890
— Winged Scarab Pectoral of Tutankhamun
This beautiful winged scarab pectoral illustrates the throne name of King Tutankhamun, “Neb- kheprew-re.” The central element is the scarab “Khepri” made of a fine piece of lapis lazuli, and three strokes of plural “sign in hieroglyphs” below it.
Between the forelegs of the scarab, the risen sun disk “Re” is depicted. It is made of a clear red carnelian set in gold, which represents what, in nature, was the ball of mud and dung containing its eggs that was rolled forward by the beetle. Beneath the plural strokes “sign in hieroglyphs” is a basket shape “Neb” inlaid with turquoise. The wings that are often added to the scarab represent Re, the god of the rising sun. They sweep round to form an almost complete circle, enveloping the royal name and offering it divine protection.
Winged Scarab Pectoral of Tutankhamun
Khepri is the god of creation, rebirth and the rising of the sun. The scarab pushes the sun disc above the horizon and sits on a neb (i.e., basket) sign―signifying its divine nature―supported by three strokes of plural sign, perhaps meaning ‘triple.’ From Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61886
— Winged Scarab Pendant of Tutankhamun
This winged scarab pendant of cloisonné technique is inlaid with semiprecious stones and colored glass. The central element of the pendant is a scarab of Libyan desert glass, grasping on one side a lotus and on the other a papyrus flower, flanked by two uraei, or cobras. A gold frame outlines the main composition and supports pendants of lotus flowers, papyrus, and poppy seed heads.
A slim solar boat rests upon the front feet of the scarab and carries the wadjet or Eye of Horus. It is flanked by two uraei or rearing cobras. The wadjet eye is surmounted by a lunar crescent of gold and a silver disk with images of the gods. Thoth and Ra-Horakhty can be seen crowning the central figure of king Tutankhamun.
Winged Scarab Pendant of King Tutankhamun. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61884. Photo: Cris Bouroncle
“The center of this intricate pectoral is adorned with a green chalcedony scarab set in the body of a falcon: it symbolizes the sun. The front paws and [tips of the wings] of this composite creature support a celestial boat containing the left eye of Horus ― the emblem of the moon ― crowned by a silver moon disk with a crescent in gold. The pharaoh is depicted in the disk flanked by the moon god Thoth and by the sun god Ra-Horakhty in a protective pose. Flowers and buds of papyrus and lotus plants, the emblems of Upper and Lower Egypt, form the base of the pectoral.”

History, origin and proof of the Naga part 3
With respect to spirituality and religion, I dived the research into two main religions that are Buddhism and Hinduism,
when considering the Buddhist literature and history of Sri Lanka I came across the Famous and oldest Book Deepawamsa which also appeared to have relevance to the Nagas,
I as a person who has keed curiosity about history used to collect these books, I found myself an English copy and also a pdf document
investigated a little in the 2nd Chapter of the book "The Conquering of the Nagas became a great information source the information found is depicted as follows
II. The Conquering of the Nāgas
4. uragā ajja dīpamhi pabbateyyā samuṭṭhitā ubhoviyūḷhasaṅgāmaṁ yuddhaṁ kariṁsu dāruṇaṁ. 59
| 4. (But) now the mountain serpents and the sea serpents fought a battle in the island, having arranged their arrays on both sides, an awful struggle.
5. sabbe mahiddhikā nāgā sabbe ghoravisā ahū sabbeva kibbisā caṇḍā madamānā avassitā. 60
| 5. All those Nāgas possessed great (magical) powers, all were frightfully venomous, all were wicked and violent, furious and filled with desire.
6. khippakāpi mahātejā paduṭṭhā kakkhalā kharā ujjhānasaññī sukopā uragā viralatthikā. 61
| 6. The Serpents were quick and excessively powerful, corrupt, cruel, and harsh, hasty, given to anger, longing for destruction (?)
29. ayaṁ Cūḷodaro nāgo ayan nāgo Mahodaro mātulo bhāgineyyo ca vivadanto dhanatthiko.
| 29. (They replied:) “This Nāga Cūḷodara and that Nāga Mahodara, the maternal uncle and the nephew, are quarrelling with each other, desirous of treasure.”
38. nisīdatu ’maṁ sugato pallaṅkaṁ veḷuriyamayaṁ pabhassarañ jātivantaṁ nāgānaṁ abhipatthitaṁ.
| 38. (They thus addressed Buddha:) “May the blessed One sit down on this splendid, noble Veḷuriya throne which the Nāgas were longing for.”
When considering the above we can clearly see that there were two main types of Nagas or clans of Nagas as
The mountain serpents
Sea serpents
further, it also talks bout a battle and the power that they passed in the same book it is said that these people had the power to shatter the land
this also clearly speaks of three Nagas
Chulodra
Mahodara
Maniyakkitha
further in the last sentence whuch is 38 It is said to have a throne made out of Veluriya which translated to a substance like the Lapis Lazuli (a pigment used to get blue colour origin in Persian countries)
This shows of an advanced set of people capable of expanding goods and engaging in international trade .

Evonne Brezthroth, her wife and their pet
Report 'The Paladain, The Princesses, and their pet'
The Paladain is a 7ft kindred demon. Of course aside from her horns and her cherry skin she looks like a normal human woman she is a big fan of fantasy. She also has a full set of armour and an a Ax that is made of gold and lapis lazuli decorated steel. (My IT team recommended a carbon nanotube and titanium alloy.) She's rather friendly and extroverted.
The Princesses is the Paladain's 5' 5" wife. Moontear meet her once or twice. Apparently when she gushes about her wife it's so sweet you could get a cavity from the sweetness. (People say the same about me with my Rythymscale. ^v^)
And their pet is a large 75 ft long dragon like lizard. They seem friendly and petable I think. I haven't been near them. (Bun I get it you like all amphibians because one of your GFs is a frog girl and one of your friends is a naga you like reptiles but please stop calling every dragon a flying scaley good boi/girl. YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE DRAGON PEOPLE! And people are getting ideas. And taking things the wrong way) (I'm 1/2 dragon thanks to my mom. If their like my mom's family they should love belly rubs. But ask first and show your aren't a threat-Paradox.)

The second largest continent on Zarth is Glarium. Tundra, grassland, deciduous woodland, coniferous forest, taiga, and rainforest are among its biomes. A good entirety of northern Glarium is covered in temperate and coniferous forests with vast mountainous regions. The south half is mostly prairie-savannah with some jungles. It’s the birthplace of some warm-blooded creatures, the Arktosapiens and Sapiens.
The Central and Lower Isles biomes consist of tropical, subtropical, atoll, and boreal. The Lapis Sea is filled with numerous islands, some of which have picturesque lagoons, lush forests, and even an active volcano. These isles are ruled by the Naga’s. Before the Doom of Draca Isla Pyramis, a large island past the western continent, brought back a speical flower that would grow in the Central Isles. It’s the only setting where the seeds can grow.
While the islands are known for their floral, spice and minerals, Glarium grows an abundant variety of crops and mining of crystals found within the mountains and caverns. Because of its rich terroir, many fruits, vegetation, and grains thrive and grow during different winds (seasons).
