Was just listening to Dominic Perry’s “History of Egypt” podcast (amazing, btw, Dominic is a trained Egyptologist who has a soft spot for mummy movies and computer games), and it was talking about the King list in the monument that Rameses II finished for his dad, Seti I, and how it explicitly included Meret-Neith and every other woman who dared to rule as pharaoh, plus the entire “Amarna” dynasty, what with the creepy monotheism and all.
What’s Live, Love, Laugh in hieroglyphics?
Billionaire rolling in paying top dollar to get a cask of that wine to put in their cellar.
Anyone have a mirror? Archive.today seems to be on the fritz…
"The recent excavation of Meret-Neith’s grave revealed the mud-brick tomb was lined with large wine jars, containing dried grape seeds, according to a press release from the University of Vienna.
Many of the wine jars were still sealed with the stoppers intact."
It’s a shame it’s not more specific, is there no wine left just the seeds from the mixture? Sure a CT scan would show liquid.
