Tales Tom and Jerry .. Pharaonic cartoon "Disney" thousands of years ago

American and Pharaoh Tom and Jerry

The mouse sits comfortably, devouring a fish that is nearing its end, while standing in front of its lean cat in complete submission, carrying a shape similar to the "hand fan" and the other hand "duck", as if it were offered to him the assumptions of obedience and loyalty and was served contrary to what happens in nature .. This It is not just a regular story; it is a pharaonic story that the ancient Egyptian painted on the walls of his temples, preceded by a cartoon «Tom and Jerry» thousands of years ago.

It is ancient Egypt. Cartoons "comic art" won a wide area of ​​the walls of temples and tombs, to monitor every moment of sadness and joy in the lives of the ancient Egyptians, and at other times an expression of mockery of social and economic conditions.

On the papyrus, pottery and stone “Ostraka” he presented fast drawings, painted in one color, as the famous mouse painting, according to what Magdy Shaker, the chief archaeologist, told «Akhbar El-Youm».

The literature of the ancient Egyptians is unique in the spread of dialogues between animals, similar to the famous series "Kalila and Dimna", as well as the ancient Egyptian was the first to invent (Tom and Jerry) before Disneyland thousands of activities, in what is known as a sense of humor and comics.

But sometimes some kings were looked at as if a lion was a Lahiya, so a picture on one of the shrines shows the king as a lion humbled for fun, so he played chess with Tess a friend, and he portrayed human verses and pleasure on the face of the lion, while he portrayed appearances of attack on the face of his serious guest As if the artist, for his part, predicts a bloody and inevitable conclusion to this game.

Then he portrayed the servants and prisoners who are the elderly Egyptians in service with palaces, the role of the government and the army, after they reassured their loyalty and embrace the religion of the Egyptians along with their apparent obedience in the form of mice and found evidence, when reassured, the artist portrays an armed battalion of mice attacking a fortified fort for cats with spears, arrows, siege ladders and pictures on It is driven by a rat riding in a chariot drawn by two dogs who bark.

That is pictures of these intruders from enemies in the form of mice and citizens in the form of cats and a few allowed them to prey on them and this shows the people's lack of reassurance about the loyalty of those who have reached the point of rule.

There is a scene of an alien old man in the court of Akhenaten, who married an Egyptian woman sitting in front of him on a low chair, as well as a young Nubian who performs his service so the technician drew the same scene and pictures of a foreigner in the form of a softened mouse sitting on a semi-previous seat and drinking wine and holding flowers and his cat was served and that the cat was styled His hair and another cat symbolize his Egyptian wife.

Rather, the critic reached his goal in depicting the bad conditions in his society, so the judge drew up a mouse that makes the dignity and relies on his stick and is never catapulted to an Egyptian boy who cast his misfortune in his hands. The Egyptian.

Likewise, pictures of goats herdsmen in the form of wolves, as pictures of a wolf guarding a flock, carrying its zodiac over its stick, and blowing it in a double flute to numb the nerves of the goat flock, which runs on its breath, and behind it another wolf secures the flock so that no one escapes.

Even the clergy did not submit, so the artist portrayed them as wolves, pictures of judges in the form of donkeys, donkey heads, pictures of eyebrows in the form of an ox, and pictures of the accused in the form of a cat

When he went on a trip to Puntland - one of the ancient African countries - pictures of the country’s short, full wife, pity the donkey he carries, and his photos are meager and marvel at how he carries this, which confirms that the ancient Egyptian artist was close to the events of his society and was giving his opinion in expressing his society in drawing and caricature The satirist.

The first "armored vehicles" in history.

Egypt provided the world with the first "armored vehicles" in history

With pure Pharaonic thought, Egypt presented the entire world the first warship in history, so it was the beginning of use with the horse brought by the Hyksos, a piece of speed and strength.

The Hyksos entered Egypt was without wars at all, but rather as families and large groups, and they had their belongings, their counter, and so on, and here it can be emphasized that the war wheel with its area does not fit this matter at all, nor does it fit a family sitting with their children on that trip.Ahmose was the first designer of the war wheel, not the Hyksos. Al-Senussi talks about a Carnafon board that included an Egyptian word for “Hattro”, which is the horse, as well as mentioning the word cart (Wright). Petri in the search for the period of Hyksos.

When the Egyptian Hexus wars erupted through the family of heroes, beginning with the great revolutionary leader Seqen Ra, as well as his son Kamsi and his grandson Ahmus, the texts of this family are that there are several preparations for years in order to fully prepare for the fight of the Hyksos and there are military industries carried out by this family and the southern army from War sake

From this revolutionary family the great warrior appeared, chasing the Hyksos Ahmose the First, and from the texts of that period the most recent information speaks of "a young man named Ahmus at the age of 19 years who uses modern weapons and is followed up like a charioteer, and he is the son of the great warrior Kamsi and found Sakan Ra».

Until the death of Kamsey after Sakan Ra, the war wheel was not used as a weapon against the Hyksos, and in another text: “Ahmose developed the Egyptian army, so he was the first to introduce the war wheels.” Then, in the wars against the Hyksos, no historian mentioned that their escape was by means of wheels Warship.

When studying the Egyptian war wheel and comparing it to Farsi, the latter did not have an open door from the back to facilitate its disembarkation, and in return, Ahmus worked to develop the war wheel using the horse, making the rear end open to facilitate the exit quickly when needed.The Egyptians shook the driver's waiting area above it to be close to the axle of the calf or wheel to reduce weight, and this reduced the burden on the horse that was dragging it, which made it speed up the vehicle, and this in the audited study of the great Egyptian army and its great leader, the first to use the war wheel, Ahmose, who became King Ahmose I Hyksos repellent.

The Egyptian war wheel was designed for only one horse, unlike the Persian horse drawn by two Egyptian wisdom also in using a smaller number of horses and the possibility of not having horses in abundance at the time, and it is designed for only one warrior in the beginning to increase its speed and not to load the horse what it cannot bear.

According to Al-Senussi, the Egyptians were the first to doubt or dispute the disposal of the thick wooden panels that formed the body of the vehicle and replaced it with many composite parts and thin panels that were folded by heat and glued to glue and to strengthen protection. very big.

The war wheel is an Egyptian weapon that was developed and developed by the ancient Egyptians and they became a component of the Egyptian civilization, and a symbol of Egypt and not the Hyksos or the lie of the Eilat civilization, and it is the oldest armored weapon or armored vehicle used as weapons in wars, but there is a text found on the obelisk of the great leader Kamsi saying (Net search = Weapon of Wheels) Then the wheels were used then by the Egyptians in abundance, as they were in the paintings of Thutmose I and Tuthmosis the Third and Ramses II when new titles such as "Stable Head and Wheel Fighter" appeared.

The mystery of the "fishy" sphinx.

The mystery of the "fishy" sphinx ... lake, catacombs and city below the statue

Basements down the statue

Dr. Zahi Hawas, the Egyptian archaeologist, in his talk about what is reported about the existence of a lost city below the Sphinx, confirmed that it is "propaganda of fame only", and it has not been carried out with any connection, and without any scientific evidence at all.

Hawash continued his speech, saying: “We have pictures of the excavation that took place beneath the Sphinx, and it turned out that it is a deaf rock and there are no corridors beneath it. A hole around it in all its sides 20 meters deep underground in the rock.

Read also for the editor Video .. Hawass war and effects on "Ramses body"

However, it was proven beyond any doubt that there were no passages around or below the Sphinx, before it was confirmed that it had been donated from the pyramid rock.

However, Hawas returned to confirm that during the cleaning operations of the statue, 4 catacombs were found inside, and some believed at the time that there were catacombs beneath the statue other than these four, but this is also not true.

Hayward Phys hole

Stories related to "Sphinx" did not stop there; rather, they extend to the presence of a hole in the head of the statue, and from time to time, they are widely circulated, but archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawas returns this novel to the traveler "Hayward Phys."

This traveler resorted to dynamite in an attempt to reveal the basements, and the explosion caused the opening to the head of the statue, after which he restored the head with cement, and before anything, there is no fear at all on the nursing head, because it is sculpted from the third solid layer of the pyramid's body.

Myths associated with the Sphinx did not stop, and the historian Herodotus, "father of history", when he came to Egypt, reported that the evidence took him to the Azureus well underground about 20 meters away, and it was full of water. He said, "There is a lake under the pyramid of Khufu."

He discovered that it was private to worship the god Azores, and the sarcophagus was inside the well, and that this water is completely far from the pyramid and has no connection to King Khufu.

Complete city

Years ago, Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawas met a high-level American delegation, including intellectuals, writers, university professors and public figures, in front of the statue. At that time, the delegation was talking about a lost city under the Sphinx, but he assured them that this is not true, and there is no scientific evidence at all .

The first basement above the statue, and French engineer "Bering" dug it in 1937 behind the head, and that was a search for treasures inside his body, and when this basement was cleaned, it was the most important found of the sphinx's headgear.

As for the second crypt in Wajd on the north side of the statue, it cannot be seen now, as it was used by the French archaeologist, "Barthur" and it is rumored so far that it contains treasures and antiquities.

This third basement behind the "dream painting", where the Italian adventurer Cavaglia in the nineteenth century interpreters, dug down the sphinx's chest and found a dream painting covering a gap of three meters deep, and this painting belongs to King Tuthmosis the Fourth.

The dream story written in the hieroglyphic script tells of the details of Prince Tuthmosis’s visit to the pyramids, before he took the throne of Egypt, and he fell asleep in the shadow of the Sphinx, which he visited in his dreams, and preached that he would become the king of Egypt, and in exchange for this tidbit he asked the Sphinx to Tuthmosis to He removes the sand that surrounded him and bury most of his body.

The scene at the top of the painting indicates the dedication of Tuthmosis the Fourth to the worship of the Sphinx. While sleeping under the statue, he uncovered excavations and restorations of the old statue.

This fourth basement at the back of the Sphinx and enters the body of the statue, opens at the level of the ground on the northern side of the rear, and wraps at the beginning of the tail, and there are many sayings that "the curse of the Pharaohs" guard this crypt, and that an American antiquity entered the crypt that reached its depth to 15 meters, and the curse of the Pharaohs took him from him, and he stuck with him throughout his life until she killed him, as this vault entered the King Philip the King of Belgium recently.

Curse by the ocean

Damn victims!

Horrific accounts came out within the Atlantic Ocean, after the Titanic sank the relationship, as some say that it carried a Pharaonic mummy, containing a talisman that says: "Get up from your shrine, Osiris, a look from you that erases your enemies who violated your sacred sanctity."

The Titanic incident was recorded as one of the biggest disasters in modern history so far in terms of the number of deaths who saw death with their own eyes in horror moments they lived before their death.

According to the Washington Post and the New York Times, the Shefina quoted the mummy of Princess Amen Ra, quoting passengers who survived the catastrophe of the Titanic, including Frederick Kimber.

They said that their companion on board the ship William Steed, responsible for transporting the princess, told them stories of the curse of the Egyptian mummy, the night before the Titanic sank, they were certain that "Stead" himself drowned with the ship.

He continues by saying, "Those who promoted the curse of the Pharaohs are originally distorting the Egyptian civilization with a view to intimidating it until a new discovery occurs and to intimidate those in charge of private work and that the Egyptian civilization is a unique civilization, and that every mystery leads to excitement and suspense, and this is what applies to the story of the curse of the Pharaohs." .

He continues. Muhammad said, “The whole topic does not bring out some spells and magical writings on the walls of cemeteries, as well as some invitations written by the owner of the cemetery, which need to be bad for the cemetery finder. An example of these calls is that death will happen to everyone who messes with the cemetery, confirming that most of those who died were the result of entering The cemetery was wrong or infected with viruses and microbes due to the lack of ventilation of the cemetery and its direct entry, also most of the deaths were for non-Egyptians and the death of some of the Egyptians was nothing but coincidence.

Damn exist and this is the evidence!

Yes, there is the curse of the Pharaohs and it really exists, and all the incidents that took place bear witness to that, and it is unreasonable that they are all coincidences in the way it happened, pointing out that there are hidden things in our lives that we do not know like the elves, but it is present, but we do not see it, and also the curse of the Pharaohs is related to magic and the other world and not It is known to us.

That the Pharaohs worked hard in thought and philosophy to the point that they were the only ones who went after death to the importance of that. They wrote their names on the graves so that they did not find the soul to return again to the body. From the theft, so he wrote on the cemetery phrases that received terror in the hearts such as, "If a person approaches this sacred closed place and tries to violate it and messes around in the mummy, it will be a curse."

In the end, we are facing a mysterious phenomenon, everyone differed in its interpretation, and none of the archaeologists agreed on one idea, but what is certain is that we are facing a great civilization that succeeded in making everyone feel confused.

Realistic stories about the curse of the Pharaohs.

The story of Tutankhamun's tomb

On November 4, 1922, when the British archaeologist and historian Howard Carter was excavating at the entrance to the tunnel leading to the tomb of Ramses VI in the valley

The kings noticed a large cellar and continued careful excavation until he entered the room which contains the tomb of Tutankhamun.

On the walls of the room containing the mausoleum were wonderful drawings that tell in the form of pictures the story of Tutankhamun's departure to the world of the dead and the scene was very impressive to the world

Howard Carter who was looking at the room through an opening with a candle in his hand that his assistant asked him, "Do you see anything?" "Yes, I see wonderful things," Carter replied.

The first thing that caught their attention was inscriptions saying, "Death will be massacred by anyone who tries to dispel the security and peace of the Pharaohs' shrine." This is the phrase that was found inscribed on the tomb of Tutankhamun, which was discovered by a series of strange incidents that began with the death of many workers conducting research in the cemetery, which is what Scholars and people, including some archaeologists who participated in the discovery of the civilizations of the Pharaohs, perplexed that the ancient priests of Egypt poured their curse on me

Anyone who tries to move these relics from their place .. where it was said that a strong sandstorm erupted around the tomb of Tutankhamun on the day it was opened and a falcon was seen flying over the cemetery and it is known that the falcon is one of the sacred symbols of the Pharaohs.

But there is a German scientist who opened the file of this phenomenon that occupied many to explain to us with reason, medicine and chemistry how forty scientists and researchers died before it was too late and the reason is that the young king .. Tutankhamun .. And that this king has no historical value and perhaps he was ruling Much is being done .. Perhaps in the era of a counter-revolution against King Akhenaten, he was the first to call for monotheism, but this king has certainly extended his great importance from

That his tomb was not touched by any of the thieves ... and it arrived to us after fifty-three centuries in complete safety and that this king is the source of the Pharaonic curse, so all those who touched him or touched him were chased by death one after the other, registering with that. He admired and strangest what man knew of the types of punishment ... The obvious thing is These forty died ... but the mysterious thing is that death for very trivial reasons and in incomprehensible circumstances.

The curse of the curse of the golden canary bird that Carter carried with him when he came to Luxor was distracted ... When she discovered the cemetery, they first called her the "Golden Sparrow Cemetery" .. And in his book 'Stealing the King' by writer Mohsen Muhammad .. that when Carter traveled to me

Cairo to receive Lord Carnarvon, so his assistant Calender put the bird on the balcony to enjoy the air breezes .. On the day of the opening of the cemetery, Calender heard a weak distress as if it was a signal cry, so he quickly found a cobra snake extending his tongue to the bird inside the cage .. Calender killed the snake, but the bird had died..and immediately It was said that the 'curse' started with the opening of the cemetery as the cobra snake is located on the crown that is placed on top of the statues of the kings of Egypt .. This was the beginning of the king's revenge on those who disturbed him in his shrine..and on the other hand I think archaeologist Henry instructs that something terrible is on the way It will happen..but what happened next was strange

Over time, it turned into a supernatural phenomenon and one of the mysterious matters that sparked a lot of controversy and which science did not find an explanation to this day .. At the official time, the opening of the cemetery, Lord Carnarvon was injured ... with a mysterious fever that no doctor found for her .. Exactly at midnight, the Lord died in Cairo .. What is even stranger is that the electrical current was cut in Cairo without any clear cause at the same moment of his death, and the world's newspapers highlighted the news of the Lord’s death .. The Cairo newspapers linked the Lord’s death to turning off the lights and claiming that this was done by King’s order Berries, to some newspapers, that the Lord's finger was injured by a machine or a free hand He died inside the cemetery, and the poison was strong, as evidence that he kept his effect for three thousand years .. Also, a type of bacterium that grew inside the cemetery carries disease and death, and in Paris, the astronomer Ancelan said: Tutankhamun’s vengeance has been revoked. Transferring everyone who took part in the shower, and most of the deaths were due to that mysterious fever with delirium and a shiver that leads to death .. Rather, it was impossible to get a fever a lot

4400-year-old love story in a Pharaonic cemetery

Scientists reveal a 4400-year-old love story in a Pharaonic cemetery

A team of archaeologists succeeded in identifying one of the oldest love stories in the world, after they uncovered a plaque depicting a love scene between a married couple inside a cemetery belonging to them and their children in the Saqqara region of the Egyptian Giza Governorate, estimated to be about 4,400 years old.

The scholars said that this cemetery belonged to a singer, who was working for one of the pharaohs, and his name was "Kahai" and his wife "Meritites" who was working as a priest. The time the Giza Pyramids were being built, is indeed a very rare paint.

The painting reveals the husband and wife staring at each other's eyes, and feelings of love clearly dominate him, and the wife places her hand on her husband's right shoulder.

"Kahai" appears in the painting wearing a tiger skin costume and holding a stick and a scepter, which are symbols of power, as was believed in ancient Egypt. As she wore a long, tight dress with shoulder straps, she appeared to reveal parts of her breasts.

This cemetery was discovered in 1966, and all the details of that disclosure were already published in a book in 1971, but it was recorded and originally documented in old black and white photos.

The British newspaper "Daily Mail" pointed out that officials of the Australian Center for Egyptology of the University of "Macquarie" have now revealed the painting in all its incredible colors.

Which considers "Miral Lasheen" and a researcher at Macquarie University, that the Kahai Cemetery is an example of the importance that women had during that period.

It allows that the repeated presentation of women in works of art in different cemeteries and photographing them in the same size as the portrayals of husbands and siblings were all indications of their equal status.

Monkey training to help the police in Egypt

Monkey training to help the police in Egypt

Monkeys function in ancient Egypt

Pharaohs used monkeys to help the police arrest criminals

"The Cemetery of Our Lady of Hatbat" ..

In his historical encyclopedia "Ancient Egypt", Selim Hassan revealed that the ancient Egyptians were familiar with and familiarize with two types of monkeys, the first of which was green with canine head, they called it auspicious or Qardouh, and the second was painted in yellow color, and it was noted in the tomb of "Tassen" of the Fifth Dynasty that the Egyptian The old one was taking the monkey to hunt with his dogs.

"Ibis" ... the master of the holy word.

"Ibis" ... the master of the holy word, the moon god, wisdom and medicine

A quiet bird, almost silent, that the ancient Egyptian knew from the beginning of the dynastic era, and raised it to the highest position could be on the surface of the globe, not only did they discover by engraving its pictures on the walls of their temples and tombs only, but rather became a symbol of the god Thoth, so that the discovery of his mummified mummies is still Archaeologists have found it so far in the tombs of the Pharaohs.

One of the seabirds, which was sanctified by the ancient Egyptians, and the discovery of the mountain tuna cemetery in the center of Mallawi in the Minya Governorate, which dates back to the seventh century BC, is the greatest evidence of his sanctity, as basements were found inside which buried thousands of His mummies, which were found embalmed and buried in linen scrolls, in the same way that humans were shrouded, were placed inside coffins of stone or pottery.

And this ancient inscription that the Egyptians made for this bird a special law, so everyone who misbehaves with him faces a death sentence. The reverence for this bird began from the beginning of the dynastic period until the Roman era. He was known as the Master of the Holy Word, as he was credited with inventing the art of writing.

Some paragraphs of the texts of the pyramids come to indicate the increasing importance of the ibis in the era of the Old Kingdom, where he mentioned his association with the sun god "Ra", describing him as one of the two lords who accompanied "Ra" in his journey across the sky, so the god "Ra" crossed the heavenly river over Wing of ibis "Thoth".

The ibis appeared in the scenes of the divine trial, which accompanies the texts of the Book of the Dead, standing before the scale, in which the heart of the deceased weighs, and records the result of the scale, which gave the god Thoth the trait of justice and integrity.

Celebrating the Nile Flood, wiping Isis tears

Celebrating the Nile Flood, wiping Isis tears

• The River Nile wasn't only a source of great mythology. It was a significant scientific site, by which ancient Egyptians created their Calendar. The rising of the Sirius star towards the East was the sign of the Nile Flood, namely on August 15th of the modern calendar, and the flood was in turn the beginning of the new ancient Egyptian Year.
• The ancient Egyptian year is divided into three seasons: flooding, planting and harvesting, each taking four months. Due to the importance of the Nile flood, ancient Egyptians created two Nile-meters to measure water levels in Aswan.
• According to ancient mythology, the Nile flood is none other than the tears of Isis, who was mourning the death of her beloved husband Osiris, whilst trying to put together his body parts that were shredded to pieces by his evil brother Seth.
• This date also commemorated the marriage of the ancient Egyptian Gods: Amoun (creator deity, often affiliated with the sun), Mut (mother goddess) and their son Khonso (moon god).
• On this occasion, Egyptians have never thrown a human sacrifice into the Nile (often referred to as the 'bride of the Nile'). On the contrary, they would send wooden dolls of Amoun, Mout and Khonso, as well as the current Pharaoh, and let them sail to Karnak against the tide so they would reach the source of the Nile (the origin of the flood) as a gesture of gratitude, respect and hope for the sustenance of prosperity.'
• Today, and as their great ancestors did, Egyptians still celebrate the Nile Flood day, as they prepare boats designed in Pharonic style, sailing on the river waters, with flowers, joyful chants and dances, colorful costumes, thanking their great river for his loyalty, and promising the same in great love.

This humongous arts center will also showcase five galleries hosting the complete Tutankhamen collection, an atrium with the statue of Ramses II, a children’s museum and a large conservation centre with distinct laboratories for cleaning, sorting and refurbishing the artefacts.

In fact, one of the most alluring features of the GEM will be an 800-seater auditorium-cum-conference center with a large shaded courtyard next to it. What’s more; it is adorned with an 800m long translucent stone wall that rises to a height of 40m in places, letting visitors discover the sheltered space behind. In fact, the wall is extraordinarily illuminated by the vivid lighting schemes of the main building, which adds an extra dose of charm to the desert landscape in the night.

      So you’ve come to the end of a nice meal and somehow still have a little room for dessert? Or even if you don’t, it’s worth making room for a small bite of:
      
      
      • Feteer meshaltet, a flaky layered pastry with an impressive history—some say that the ancient Egyptians left feteer in their temples as offerings to the gods. This pastry can be sweet or savory. If you’re having it for dessert, it might be filled with honey, cheese, coconut, pudding, or chocolate.
      • Baklava, another scrumptious pastry flavored with honey and nuts.

        Herbal teas are also popular, especially refreshing hibiscus tea. Mint tea is another great option. You may see fresh mint leaves lending flavor to black teas or lemonades as well.
