Just imagine Sherlock in clothes that he looks like he’s lived in for years….

ahem, ahem, is this thing on?

erm, there might be a Young Sherlock story over at AO3, if anyone would like to waste a few minutes reading an action adventure tale centred on the political results of socio-economic mismanagement and exploitation within a colonialist system of empire? Oh, and there will be kissing…..

Today, October 29, modern worshipers of Antinous commemorate the descent of Antinous to the Underworld.

Anyone, Egyptian or foreigner, known to have been carried off by a crocodile or drowned by the river itself, must by all means be embalmed and wrapped as attractively as possible and buried in a sacred coffin by the people of the place where he is cast ashore; none of his relatives or friends may touch him, but his body is considered something more than human, and is handled and buried by the priests of the Nile themselves.

- Herodotus, Book II, Chapter 90

During the nightly voyage of the Mesektet Barge through the Duat, those drowned in the Nile are believed to journey with Osiris and to be regenerated by the same power that revitalizes the sun-god. The death and apotheosis of Antinous are inextricably connected to the death and triumphal return of Osiris.

Fayum portrait, Unknown Artist

Fayum mummy-portrait of a lady, 54-68 AD, found in Hawara, Egypt, a site near the Fayum oasis. On display in 2009 exhibition “Roman Imperial Painting”, Rome. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito)

The Fayum portraits date to the Imperial Roman era, from the late 1st c. BC or the early 1st c. AD onwards. Recent research suggests their production ended in the middle of the 3rd c. AD. They are survivors of the panel painting tradition of the classical / Greco-Roman world, continued into Byzantine, Eastern Mediterannean, and Western traditions in the post-classical world, including the local tradition of Coptic iconography.

~ Portrait of two brothers.

Period: Roman Period

Place of origin: Hawara, Fayum

Medium: Cedar wood with encaustic painting

~ Bundle of Hair Extensions.

Date: ca. 2114-1502 B.C.

Period: Old Kingdom-early New Kingdom; 16th-18th Dynasty

Medium: Human hair, linen

▪︎ From the source: These hair extensions would have been placed in a tomb for use in the afterlife. In this world, Egyptians used extensions to make their wigs or natural hair thicker and more attractive, just as people do today. The reliefs in this case show hairdressers adding extensions like these to the hair or wig of Queen Neferu.

Waiting for the Record Office to re-open I delved into the anti-Tavistock Institute conspiracy theorists. They have common themes (no surprise there)

Evil: Jews, the English, homosexuals, social scientists, NASA, womens liberation, short skirts, popular music, psychology, television, equality legislation, socialism (in fact any politcs left of Thatcher/Reagan), lesbians, democratic voting systems, 15 minute cities, abortion, working women, mixed marriages, ecological movements ( which are all labelled fake), non 'Western' religions, women in general oh and did I mention Jewish homosexuals.

Good: Military/industrial complex especially in pre-WW1 Germany, 'traditional' family structures and 'values', conservative white Christian men

Tactics include: quoting inaccurately and out of context e.g. every quote I checked in their books was incorrect in some way probably because their word salads are so hard to follow no one could be bothered to do any fact checking And, of course fact checking at all is beyond them. They quote each other with painful regularity always with the assumption that what they are quoting is correct even if two minutes with the original work would prove them wrong. Linking things which aren't remotely connected. Outright lying.

Oh well, back to tithe maps and manorial court records.

A stranger here but ….oh you mentioned manorial court records….

You are so cool….
