Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”

[thatlittleegyptologist]

The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit

[rudjedet]

‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”

While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago 

The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved

[rudjedet]

The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum

Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose

Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards

Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”

The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)

[rudjedet]

While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition

It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that

Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass

[rudjedet]

I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On

Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies

[rudjedet]

Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.

Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:

Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids

Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt

Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt

Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt

Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization

Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt

Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt

Kitchen, K. A., The Life and Times of Ramesses II, King of Egypt

Sweeney, D., Sex and Gender (in Ancient Egypt)

McDowell, A. G., Village Life in Ancient Egypt:  Laundry Lists and Love Songs

Te Velde, H., Seth, God of Confusion 

[rudjedet]

Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks

David Cusick was a Tuscarora (Haudenosaunee) artist who self-published the first known English-language record of Indigenous stories told BY an Indigenous writer-illustrator. His book is called David Cusick’s Sketches of Ancient History of the Six Nations and you can read it for free online.

How canon become fanon.

No one asked for this, but I wanted to share more before the reboot came out, but I probably won’t be able to.

I’m still posting stuff.

Is your taste in music similar to your parents'?

I have my dad's taste in music

I have my mom's taste in music

I have another parental figure's taste in music

None of my parents, but I have one of my grandparents' taste in music

No, my taste in music is different from my parents'

I don't know my parents' taste in music

Voting ended onMay 9

Not liking music counts as a taste in music; your taste is that you don't like it.

We ask your questions anonymously so you don’t have to! Submissions are open on the 1st and 15th of the month.

[blurrymango]

What if I have the same taste as BOTH.

[rideroftherange]

This result is interesting tho.

I would assume most sets of parents would have the same musical taste. Since they’re usually about the same culture and age. Most are going to like Boomer rock, or Gen X country, or Millennial Punk or whatever according to their age and location.

But in those that voted towards one parent or the other, there is a clear bias in this poll. I find this interesting.

[kc-anathema]

Dad introduced me to a broad range of music, from metal to prog-rock, classic to folk, just...lots. Tons. He showed me books and comics and ideas about religion.

Mom mainly listened to Spanish music. She never taught me how to speak the language. She taught me to read, to be afraid of her judgment, and to clean the house.

So that's why, for me.

i think this series is gonna be my first acrylic charms!

Do you all remember Vita?

みなさん、びーたをおぼえてるですか？

ことし１月、まちの中で、おおきなかじがあったです

びーたのままがボランティアをしているNPOの

ねこのあずかりシセツがやけてしまったです

ねこは、あちこちにひきとられたですが

こまっているねこは、またあらわれるです

なので、ふゆになるまで、うちに１ぴき

あずかることになったです

シイクホウカイのいえからきた、ちいさい

それでもオトナのおとこねこです

あそびもしない、しゃべりもしない、ずっとそんなかんじときいたです

うちをでるときには、あかるいねこになるといいです

なまえは、あぽろ

しばらくうちにいるですので、こいつもよろしくです

なお、もし、このNPOにごしえんいただくことができるなら、ごきょうりょくをおねがいするです

The cats were taken in here and there, but new cats in need keep appearing...So, until winter comes, we’ve decided to take in one cat at our home

This January, there was a big fire in town

The cat shelter run by the NPO where Vita’s mom volunteers was burned down

His name is Apollo. He’ll be staying with us for a while, so please be kind to him too

He came from a house where too many cats were kept and things fell apart

He’s small, but already an mature male

We were told he doesn’t play, doesn’t meow—he’s just been like that the whole time...We hope that by the time he leaves here, he’ll become a brighter, happier cat

And if you’re able to support this NPO, we would truly appreciate your help❤

ピース・アニマルズ・ホームには、動物愛護活動にご協力して頂ける様々な支援方法があります。古新聞の提供のような手軽なものから、より主体的・能動的に動物愛護活動に関わっていただく正会員制度など、皆さんの出来る範囲でご協力頂ければ幸いです。
