THE PHARAOH TOMB - Mesmerising Hieroglyphs - Nectanebo II

in photography •  7 years ago 

"He fears that which is in the Amy [duat—i.e. the underworld]"


That is one of the many things written on the sarcophagus of Nectanebo II presented below. He was the last native ruler of Ancient Egypt.

This picture was taken at the British Museum while I was visiting London.
Lots of exciting artifacts there including the Rosetta Stone, but this one really captivated me.
I like how the hieroglyphs look, and it's amazing to think this is how people were writing back then.
Looks mesmerising from my point of view.
