Tut on “Left Behind Baskets”

So my good friend Howard Carter left me some baskets of food and some nametags.
Carter had a heart! How thoughtful.

And Now I suppose you will take them away, Mr. Hawass.

You are also threatening to remove my mummy and the last coffin allowed me to your new museum which you have financed from the international tours of my belongings. What makes you different from any tomb robber?

Mummy of Tut My Last Golden Coffin

At least I will be close to my beloved Memphis and the Great Sphinx,
even if I  must suffer lying naked for all to see.

Persian Noblewoman found at Saqarra

The Saqarra tomb found of a Persian Noblewoman:
Was her father was an Egyptian Traitor?

In a re-used tomb built during the reign of Ramses II, (1279 - 1220 bce), using stone stelae from the reign of Djoser, builder of the first pyramid of Ancient Egypt, the step pyramid, an expedition from the Cairo University found the stone sarcophagus of Sekhemet Nefret, a noblewoman from the Persian or 27th Dynasty (525- 402 bce).

Expedition spokesmen speculated that her father, a physcian, apparently assisted the Persians in their Conquest of Egypt in 525.

Noblewoman Nefret’s family had a direct role in that conquest. She was related to Udja Hor Resenet, a physician and scribe. Resenet helped the Persian king Cambyses II conquer Egypt and later tutored the new ruler in Egyptian religion and rituals, according to Zahi Hawass, director of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.
