Head of a funerary couch, in the shape of Ammit 😛

Ammit is a celestial beast who bestows final judgement on the deceased and devours the unjust in the court of Osiris.

Populalrly depicted in funerary texts like the Book of the Dead, Ammit is usually a combination of a crocodile's head, the front legs of a lion, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus.

Found among three ritual funerary couches in Tutankhamun's antechamber and made of stuccoed gilded wood with each animal's eyes inlaid with colored glass paste, this particular couch is variedly composed of a curiously different configuration: a hippopotamus' head wearing a wig, a leopard's body, and a crocodile's tail and crest

If I were a time traveller I would put the lyrics of popular songs in secret rooms of historical monuments.

Imagine opening a secret passage of Tutankhamen's tomb and thinking you've made one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century... only to get Rick-rolled in hieroglyphs.

The Great Pyramid is about as high as a 40 story building and contains an estimated 2.3 million blocks of rectangular limestone, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons (some weighing approximately 70 tons). “Traditional” archeologist say the Great Pyramid was build in 20 years approximately 4500 years ago. To complete the Great Pyramid in this 20 year time period, a limestone block needed to be placed in finished position every 4 minutes 34 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for 20 years. We can not build the Great Pyramid today using our modern technology in 20 years.
