[EGYPT 29389] 'Ceiling in Nefersekheru's tomb at Luxor.' The ceiling of Nefersekheru's tomb has been decorated with different geometric patterns. Here we see a design with yellow red and blue rosettes. It is probably an imitation of the colourful, woven matting that Egyptians used to decorate their houses. Nefersekheru was a "Deputy administrator of the treasury" and a "Scribe of the divine offering of all the gods" during the reign of Ramses II. His tomb (TT 296) can be found in the Necropolis of El-Khoka on the Westbank at Luxor. It is one of the socalled "Tombs of the Nobles". Photo Mick Palarczyk and Paul Smit.
Named after the crocodile God Sobek, Sobeknefru, whose name means ‘she who shows the beauty of Sobek’, succeeded her brother to the throne of Egypt. At the time she came to power, the cult of Sobek had prominence in Egyptian society and following her example many of the pharaohs of the 13th Dynasty felt it incumbent to take the name Sobek. Who was this God?

There is a lot of public controversy over which “race” the ancient Egyptians belonged to. Western media has traditionally portrayed nearly all ancient Egyptians as having white skin. Unfortunately, some films are still portraying the Egyptians this way; the 2014 film Exodus: Gods and Kings and the 2016 film Gods of Egypt both received widespread … Continue reading "Were the Ancient Egyptians Black?"

Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney Sir Edward John Poynter (England 1836–1919) The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon 1881-90 (aka The Queen of Sheba before Solomon) From the museum’s description: Having heard of Solomon’s famed wealth and wisdom the Queen of Sheba came to Jerusalem ‘to test him with hard questions’, but she was overwhelmed by his magnificence. Poynter’s reconstruction of Solomon’s palace is based on details from the Bible supplemented by the evidence of Assyrian remains unearthed in the 1840s. The Queen of Sheba is a mysterious and alluring figure followed by an exotic retinue bearing her gifts for Solomon, of gold, gems and spices. From the AGNSW Handbook, 1999: When contemplating this picture it is useful to bear in mind that the second half of the nineteenth century was a period remarkable for archaeological researches and discoveries, especially by English expeditions. The British Museum was a treasure house of antiquities increasingly valued by artists as a reference library. Egypt and the Middle East replaced Greece and Italy as the focus of curiosity. 'The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon' can be contextualised against a craze for orientalist narratives in literature, music and visual art. The wildly composite architectural system of Solomon's temple is reprised in the frame, which bridges the temporal and spatial distance between viewer and subject. The artist has been so obsessed with the accuracy of his details, however, that the figures seem somewhat doll-like. Trained in Paris under Gleyre, Poynter was at heart a Salonist for whom artistry resided in weight of detail rather than dramatic synthesis.
