"Telling Time in Ancient Egypt | Essay | The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History" https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/tell/hd_tell.htm

It's really sad 😭 that we have to debunk the lies told by the Europeans who tried to destroy everything Black and African History. The calendar is another one of those things they tried removing from our Pan African History.

hey if you're feeling bad today just remember that the ancient Egyptians knew to use the pulse as a measure of overall health, had pregnancy tests, practiced palliative care, used suture strips to close up gashes, and treated dislocated jaws and broken noses the same way we still do today

Ceiling and imagery of the Tomb of the Vineyards, burial of Sennefer, Mayor of the Southern City, Thebes, during the 18th dynasty of Egypt.

Photos taken by me, August 2023

It’s hard to tell which way is up and down when walking through the tunnel leading from the surface into the tomb. Before entering the main chamber there is a small antechamber whose ceiling is quite low, and then a shallow arch which leads to the main room depicted in the above photographs. Both chambers contain a good deal of paintings, however the main chamber holds the most numerous and well preserved paintings, of course. Besides the ceiling, everything is encased in glass.

Entrenched as one of the 42 nomoi, Ta-Seti served as the delineating border area that spanned towards the revered land of Nubia, while also being referred to as Nubia itself. This historical domain is entwined with…
