Book Of The Dead Chapter 92, With The Deceased Shown As A Man With A Staff, As A Flying Ba Bird, And

Book of the Dead Chapter 92, with the deceased shown as a man with a staff, as a flying ba bird, and as a black silhouette coming out of the tomb -- his shut or shadow, I think. (What does the big black dot above the deceased man represent?)

People have asked for more interactions between Life and Death. Life is bringing so much color into my comics haha <3

Followed you because rigorous historical study is my JAM but also it's not Hatshepsut's mummy, it's her NANNY? Forreals???

This is Hatshepsut’s mummy:

From this 2007 Nat Geo article 

You can also read this Reuters article on it too.

This:

Isn’t Hatshepsut

It’s actually her Wet Nurse (Getty Images links)

What’s happened is, is that Hatshepsut died of bone cancer (carcinogenic face cream kids!), and seems to have been buried in KV60. This tomb is actually the tomb of her Wet Nurse, whose body was identified immediately and then there was another ‘unidentified female’ in the tomb. In 2007 the other woman was identified because she was missing a molar, and everyone thought ‘hang on a hot second, don’t we have a tooth in a box that we definitely know is Hatshepsut’s?!’ So they tested the DB320 “canopic box” tooth and the teeth from this unidentified female, and it turns out they’re a DNA match! We found Hatshepsut!

When this was announced, the Cairo museum displayed both Hatshepsut (the first image) and her wet nurse (the image everyone thinks is Hatshepsut) together and the media got them mixed up when labelling photographs, which has led to years and years worth of confusion by the general public. 

TL;DR: The media mixed up the labels on the mummies and the photo of the wet nurse has been mistakenly labelled as Hatshepsut ever since!

Silly warmup doodle but GODS I LOVE THESE TEENS

Some paintings with nice memories affiliated to them on twitter. Since twitter’s fate is unknown rn, i just wanted to say I had a really fun journey there. I’m truly thanksful for all the love I got there from many strangers who took a few sec out of their days to stop and look at my silly art haha. It greatly helped me like my art and myself, since honestly, both are linked. I also met so many people and made so many friends. I tried to find as much people back here as I could. Anyway. May we meet again guys. Thanks for the ride on twitter. ❤
