I do wonder what the average Egyptian cleric from Pharaonic times would think of modern man, walking around darkened or derelict houses or cemeteries with little devices, trying to provoke spirits into revealing their presence.
I like to think they’d understand it on one level, and be utterly perplexed on another.
CAIRO (AFP) – A large red granite false door from the tomb of an ancient queen’s powerful vizier has been discovered in Luxor, Egypt’s culture minister said on Monday.
The carved stone door — which ancient Egyptians believed was the threshold to the afterlife — was unearthed near the Karnak Temple in Luxor and belongs to the tomb of User, a powerful advisor to the 18th dynasty Queen Hatshepsut, Faruk Hosni said in a statement.
