6/ frontal view of the statuette. The braided gold rope indicates it could be worn like a necklace--a heavy one! Image

1/ Let's have some fun with debunking my favorite internet ancient Egypt conspiracy theory (that's not about the Pyramids). The infamous "Abydos Helicopter"
The most recent bleat about this was @darkjournalist who claims this "stele" proves the Egyptians had advanced tech #Egypt Image
2/ Not just helicopters, "high tech airships" that they "inherited from an older civilization. @darkjournalist claims "There's been an effort to suppress this powerful image but it has failed." Well, no. The image & theory have been around since the internet got big in 1995. O
3/ The inscription comes from Sety I's temple at Abydos. Sety left the temple partly unfinished & his son Ramesses II completed it. Some places Ramesses carved over his father's inscriptions. This happened here too. #archaeohistories #ancient #Ramesses #antiquity #history #art

2/ When Carter removed the 2nd gilded wooden coffin from the first he was puzzled by the weight. Opening the 2nd coffin he was astounded to find the 3rd coffin was of solid gold!
3/ This incredible object is among the heaviest gold objects in the world weighing 243 lbs (110 kilograms" of pure yellow gold. #Mythology #Art #Gold #Egypt #Archaeology #AncientArt #History #Jewelry #Ancient #AncientEgypt #Egypt #Egypte #Egipto #Egito #Αίγυπτος #Ägypten #مصر
