The Golden Chair or Throne, of Queen Hetepheres, wife of Pharaoh Snefru and mother of Pharaoh Khufu, dating back to the 4th Dynasty (2551-2528 BC). It was discovered in Giza, Egypt, in tomb G 7000 X. It is one of the most exquisite artifacts from ancient Egypt.

Hetepheres is an important figure in Egyptian history, as her son, Khufu, went on to commission the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. @histories_arch #Egyptology #Pharaoh

The Evolution of the Pyramids. From Hierakonpolis to Giza with Dr Beth Hart
Archaeology with Flint Dibble
Mar 25, 2025 ✪
Do you think pyramids appeared out of nowhere in ancient Egypt? Do you doubt they are tombs? All is revealed in this video!
Dr Beth Hart takes us on a journey to ancient Egypt. She walks us through the development of royal Egyptian tombs from burials to mastabas to enclosures to pyramids in predynastic and Old Kingdom Egypt in this lovely documentary style conversation. We uncover one of the key lines of evidence that demonstrates conclusively how Egyptologists and archaeologists are sure the pyramids were royal tombs.

At our April meeting (Sunday 6th, ONLINE via Zoom), Dr Nicholas Brown will give a talk on "The Valley of the Kings: Its Life and Afterlife".

The Valley of the Kings is arguably one of the most famous archaeological sites in Egypt. For nearly five hundred years, the area was used by the kings of Egypt, their family members, and certain elite courtiers as a sacred necropolis during the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BC) (1/3)

I'm finally done copying & rewriting the hieroglyphic text of the Khonsu cosmogony in JSesh!
Big thanks to Daniela Mendel for the comparatively rather clear original text and especially corrections with regard to Kurt Sethe's 1925 edition on which I've somewhat relied initially.
I'd upload a shaper 20 MB pic but this instance doesn't allow it.
I'm now moving to create a more economic phrasing of the text for myself.

Tales from the Two Lands

Egyptian culture isn’t self-contained and isolated from the world, at various times it spills out into other nearby places and sometimes it sweeps back in from those places too. This vulture statue is part of that mixing and diffusing of cultures.

It was found at a place called Sanam Abu Dom, at Merowe in Nubia, about half way between Abu Simbel (in Egypt) and Khartoum (the capital of Sudan) near Gebel Barkal and the pyramids there & at Nuri. So it’s quite solidly provenanced from somewhere other than Egypt.

But it’s quite Egyptian to look at, and the vulture is a key part of Egyptian iconography. Among other associations it’s the animal associated with the goddess Nekhbet, one of the Two Ladies who protects the king, and associated most closely with Upper Egypt. 🧵 1/3

A photograph of part of an ancient Egyptian (or Nubian) statue of a vulture. The statue is made of black granite, which makes the detail in the carving a little difficult to pick out in a photograph. Not all of the statue has survived, and this portion is the head plus one shoulder (and partial wing). The head faces to the left and it's the wing nearest us that survives. You can see just above the wing that there is a broad collar necklace carved into the shoulder of the bird.
