I know, I’m just messing around. As for Tut? Well, it’d be ableist of us to judge him based on his physical condition. Surprised Hollywood never did an inspirational porn movie about him. xD
I too read that he had a cleft pallet, as well as a limp, and effeminate features (like his father), in addition to his elongated head. To be fair,a lot of royals didnt depict their weaknesses. For example the last of the Habsburgs (cant remember his name) was said to have a over sized tobgue, prone to drooling, and couldnt close his mouth completely. All portraits of him dont depict him like that. Big chin, yes. Everything else, no
Hmm so which is it? Do you believe Akhenaten passed into law that all artwork had to be truthful or do you believe that royals made themselves look better than they actually did? Akhenaten was Tutankhamens father, in case that wasn't clear (you seem very knowledgeable, I was just mentioning it just in case you didn't know). I actually found a stelai of Tutankhamen and his Royal Wife Anakhsanemun (sp?) who also has an interesting history.
I think the law was specified to Akhenaten. The Habsburg people were a different dynasty thousands of years later. Every monarch has their own preference. Clearly Mr. “My Tongue Is Too Damn Big” didn’t want that showing on his paintings. Tut, as I remember, had a bent foot at the very least hence all the crutches found in his tomb. edit: the last Habsburg king was Charles II of Spain. edit le II: Oh yeah, cleft pallet, not lips. Got that mixed up.
Idk, as far as I know most of king tuts artwork was created during the Amarna Period, I guess it's possible Akhenaten gave exception to his son and let artwork be created that was untruthful, but it seems bizarre to me anyway. Useless fact, black apples:
If you mean the Tomb at Ephesus, then it doesn't really provide any evidence that Cleopatra had any African ancestry. See for example this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsinoe_IV
That wasn't my only reason for thinking Arsinoe and Cleopatra had African ancestry, I extrapolated my reasoning in a few other comments. But I don't think this is the place for this discussion, if you want to message me you can.
Amazed to hear how many people still think David Bowie had different coloured eyes (to each other, that is). In fact his eyes were the same colour but one developed a permanently dilated pupil after it received a punch during a schoolyard fight.
I wonder who the puncher was. Dude didn't realize his impact on history at the time. I bet if you ask there's like 100 people who will claim to have delivered the fateful blow.
It was George Underwood, who went on to record an album with Bowie and create a couple of his album covers. Apparently the fight was over a girl.
Aubrey Plaza is amazing. World's sexiest deadpan comic, after Steven Wright of course. Edit—watching the clip. She's actually playing Cleopatra playing her own little sister. Wow... if one of them were a man it would be completely Shakespearean! 2nd edit—My bad, she isn't paying Arsinoe, but Arisnoe is playing her so she can sneak off and get down with Julio Caesar (wearing glasses!)
I partake of wine and weed occasionally. Anything in excess will turn into a problem. Unless it's grapes. Grapes are life.
On Wednesday, May's full moon — known as the Flower Moon — will be a sight to see as it becomes the only total lunar eclipse of 2021, as well as the year's biggest "supermoon," according to Space.com. Like with all lunar eclipses, Earth's shadow will block the sun's light and reflect off the moon, causing it to appear red and earn its name "blood moon,"
Roy and his wife Nebtawy depicted in his tomb entering the afterlife. It kills me this man is described in his tomb with the grand title of "Royal Scribe in the Estates of Horemheb and of Amun" and his name is ROY.
