This week for Mummy Monday, let’s meet another ancient Egyptian priestess and God’s Wife of Amun, Maatkare Mutemhat. I think it's about time for another Friday storytime! This week I will tell you the ancient Egyptian story of the Eloquent Peasant! This week for Women Crush Wednesday, I am going to talk about an ancient Egyptian priestess who has received more recognition centuries after her death. Today I am talking about Henut Taui, otherwise known as one of the “cocaine mummies.” Why don’t we talk about another famous royal, whose tomb we have mentioned several times? This week let’s talk about Amenhotep II, the seventh pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. Do you know how the ancient Egyptians counted their dead enemies after a battle? It’s a little grosser than you may think. Although it had only been known from temple reliefs, a recent archaeological discovery confirms that enemies’ hands may have been chopped off and counted. This week I am looking much later in Egyptian history than I typically have. Let me introduce you to the second Ptolemaic Queen of Egypt, Berenice I. We are back!!! And this Monday I am starting with a special request! Today we are looking at the mysterious Mummy on the Boat from KV35. 💗 Happy Valentine’s Day!💗 Taking a mini vacation away from posting this week! Thank you all so much for the support over the past couple weeks! It’s really made the new year great! I’ve surpassed 300 followers here on Instagram and 100 followers on Twitch!
