I've always been fascinated by this guy, the Overseer of the House of Silver in the reign of #Tutankhamun, called Maya, the owner of a splendid tomb at #Saqqara...
... In it he says, “I was the mouth of the king in order to make splendid the temples, to fashion the images of the gods. I was one who entered and saw the House of Gold, in order to propitiate their statues” ...
... and he donated this lovely wooden image of Tut on a bier for the royal tomb. The inscription reads: 'Made by the effective servant for his lord, who seeks effectively in the place of eternity, overseer of building works in the place of eternity… Maya' 🧡...

More than two millennia ago, 27 Egyptians were laid to rest in #Saqqara, an ancient city of the dead. Their organs were removed, and their bodies wrapped in linens. Priests placed them inside wooden boxes adorned with hieroglyphics.

The #mummies stayed buried in those #sarcophagi for 2,500 years — until their recent discovery by Egyptian archaeologists. The finding is one of #Egypt's largest in over a century.

I want to elaborate a little and give the archaeological context for the 'baking bread with no oven' tweet by @SeamusBlackley and to highlight how incredible his backyard experiments are
