Unknown, Canopic Jars, Ptolemaic Egypt

The jar has an unusually long and detailed inscription incised in columns on the body, concerned not so much to protect the body part inside, but to assure the deceased that he will have food and drink in the afterlife.

Incredible find. I love those sunken (or perhaps just buried?) sarcophagi.

Julia Caesaris is so overlooked it makes me wanna scream. She managed to have a happy marriage in a time when that just wasn't much of a thing. Given Cleopatra spent 3 years as a tween in her house we can only assume she mentored the future Pharaoh or at the very least provided tons of information on the Caesars given that's her gens and Julius is her dad so you just know Cleopatra sponged up all this info and used it a few years later when she went to Caesar for help. She was a patroness of the arts and got her husband into them and her death changes the entire course of western history.

Like her death has a greater impact on our world today than Cleopatra's did but absolutely no one talks about her

So I've been reading about Antony and Cleopatra...

"For Rome, who had never consented to fear any nation or people, did in her time fear two human beings: one was Hannibal and the other was a woman."

Two wooden statuettes of cobra-headed goddesses, missing their forearms, at the Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition. They have jackal-headed shoes on. @bigbadjackal, I see those shoes on a lot of different deities -- what do they mean?

When: Late/Ptolemaic Period

Where: Sharm El Sheikh Museum
