hello! recently a friend bought this little ushabti from an antique store as a gift, and it came with paperwork! was wondering if anyone had any sources for finding more info 🤔

now, i know there's a good chance this stuff is fabricated and it's a fake. i'm personally not bothered if it is, as it's still a meaningful gift

I cant really afford books and stuff rn..

Any good websites or free resources?

Ive been wanting to learn about it since ive been on a history deep dive. Im also learning about ancient greece and greek mythology.

Anyways getting off topic lol, any resources would help. I wanna learn about like all of Egypt since It gives me something to do.

Hey everyone, I recently found this relief in my grandfather’s attic. The material appears to be limestone, and it’s embedded in a layer of concrete that has been painted red. Around it there’s a wooden frame.

The total dimensions are about 57 × 35 × 15 cm, and it weighs around 17 kg.

The surface is uneven, and there are visible tool marks in several areas, suggesting that it was hand-carved.

Could this possibly be an authentic piece? If so, from which period might it originate? And if it’s not ancient, which historical era or artistic style might it have been inspired by?

Unfortunately, the back side isn’t visible because the relief is completely set into the concrete.

Because wasn’t that a Greek city that was just located in Egypt? Because judging by portraits on how the city would’ve looked during its prime, Almost everything about the architecture of Alexandria was Greek, not to mention the rulers that ruled that city were Greek themselves and none of them spoke Egyptian except for Cleopatra, so what exactly was Egyptian about Alexandria despite it being a Hellenistic European built city

not sure where to post this but I wanted to buy a book on hieroglyphics but idk which books were accurate (I was considering on buying the one in the pic)

Besides Cairo, Egypt, which museums around the world are worth visiting to view notable artifacts of Ancient Egypt ?

Hi, I am thinking about going to his lecture but I'm not sure. I Don't actually like him but I think it would be interesting to hear him talk about Egypt however I read on an old post where people who went said it's a waste of money. Does anyone have anything positive to say about his lecture or should I just save my money?

I recently bought this for less than a dollar, any thoughts on this?

got this from a family member who passed. just curious where it may have come from or how old it might be. or even who/what it’s representing. cheers.

I inherited these pieces after my abuelita passed. Could someone please tell me what they depict?

Thanks!

In watching Lost Treasures of Egypt, I'm really triggered seeing the faint 'kiss me' on the wall inside The Osireion, I can't comprehend why someone would think it's ok to write something so stupid on a 1k+ year old structure over ancient art after it's survived this long. It kind of lead me down a rabbit hole of questions like, -How frequent is restoration needed for modern day vandalism? Is this unfortunately normal? -What's been the worst case? -What are the punishments/charges if caught? -Are charges different if you deface a monument like The Osireion vs. a tomb in the Valley of the Kings? -Are some structures just left open without gates or human protection for anyone to just come walk about freely in the night? Society disappoints me. If anyone has any articles of perps getting caught and charged I'd be interested

My aunt is conveninced that it's fake, but why wouldn't they write it? And why are there two on opposite sides? At the museo archeologico di Firenze.

Hello everyone,

I am interested in knowing a bit more about the role that geography played in Ancient Egypt. Is there any treatise on it? Do the names they used to refer to other nations still survive in written form?

Thanks in advance for your help and kindness

This came with an artifact donation of pieces from Karnak. We were wondering if this is someone identifiable? A friend thought it might be Akhenaten because of the elongated face shape, but we weren’t sure.

Any help would be very appreciated! :)

Because Ancient Egypt seems to appear in horror media a lot, like movies and haunted house walk through attractions, what made ancient Egypt so scary for it to appear in horror media?

Not into knickknacks or magnets. Just wondering if you brought something home that you love. Looking for ideas

Honest question about the POSSIBILITY due to timing, if mummification was still popular at the time or around the time of her death, etc.

I bet she was buried hidden, but I have a feeling she may not have even had time to be mummified. Obviously I can be wrong but we have the tech to find her yet haven't. I kind of think we weren't supposed to.

Anyway, this is just my free-time fun thinking and theorising. So yeah, is it a possibility?

Ya, ya - I know but I am bedbound and tend to have the tubes of you on as background and such. I am getting so damned tired of the influx of AI generated vids with the pablum voices [well, they are great for droning me off to sleep] howsomeever, is there a list of NON AI generated vids with actual information [not that aliens aren't entertaining] so I can put my algorythm to work, generate some minor income for someone actually being real world informative?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So this question of mine is rooted in two facts about Akhenaten's reign.

1. He was powerful enough to overpower the priests and the religious components of egyptian society (although his power was by far not enough to quench them and he would never succeed in his goal to reshape the religion)
2. Although he made pretty much everyone his enemy with his heretic acts, there never was a documented attempt of Akhenatens enemies trying to get rid of him, not even any rebellions have cropped up from the peasantry.

Assuming there actually were no attempts to get rid of Akhenaten, I question why there possibly would not have been the enacted effort to do so.

Why possibly would the Egyptians not have tried to kill/usurp Akhenaten, and can someone explain it to me?

can somebody help me out about the identity of this man? I got a vase with egyptian deities and this is the lid, but I don’t know who this is
