I understand how difficult it is to reason with simple logic as I have to do it all the time and because of the warning written on the wall, us idiots have a difficulty getting into a discussion, let alone an argument.
Thank you for editing my posting at least I know it was read by somebody.
The damage to the lid of Hete-phere’s coffer may not have been caused by looters, it could have been caused by much regretted, inebriated carelessness. (drunkenness)
The
images on this web page are copyrighted but if you scroll down to the two at the bottom, then please note that
the interior of the coffer is two-tone and this is not just a trick of the lighting.
The reason it is two-tone either side of the divide, is I suspect because of the contents of the canopic style chest in the next image below it. The contents sealed in this chest by mortuary temple administrators are very unlikely to be the visceral remains of a queen mother. (not in that condition) It may have been special extracts in honey to add a sweetened kick to the barley-bread beer brewed in the coffer. I am led to understand this was a customary practise of brewing.
The walking sticks may have been for stirring the bread-mash and the paddles would smooth its passage through the centre sieve of fine weave over wooden frame. (now lost}
The butterfly bangles could have been an honour bestowed like an invitation to party with the queen mother.
(no person could arrive without one and they certainly wouldn’t get to leave with it).
I don’t seriously imagine Hete-pheres weighing her arms down with that lot, they seem much too small.
Have I forgotten anything?
I am so sure of this theory I would taste the contents of the canopic chest,
Anybody know if it was tested or tasted and what happened to it
How certain is it, that it was nation containing human organs.
Were these so called ‘remains’ accorded the proper respect due.
…or just flushed into the Cairo sewers.
Finally for what clues it may reveal does anyone know what it is, written on this box.
