Cleopatra VII has a hold in the imagination that has continued for millennia. Here she is imagined in the moments prior to her suicide. In this act, Cleopatra defied Rome and ensured Augustus would not parade a pharaoh in his triumph…

@SJohnRoss
I feel like this type of map should be called a Pectoral Projection.

Epag Day 3: Happy birthday Set!

-----------

O Set, Rebel coming in the night.
Bones of iron before Whom the sky does shake,
Who sends the storm above.
They say “He Who doesn’t care about the law”,
yet righteous swords do glint and arrows fly.
He Who fells isfet, poised atop the Barque of Ra,
outstretched hands fend off A/p/e/p upon the hour.
Heru takes the Shield and You the Sword, ensure our victory!
That which torn apart can fight as One against a common goal.
Abhorrent or Beloved, each in its stride,
a time for all, a place to rest, a day to be.
And be this day indeed, take up the mantle,
You of Thunderous Sky and Shifting Sand.
Be sharp as flint and swift as bird,
stealth of fish yet strong as raging bull.
He Who loves the fight, Who holds his head on high,
Who welcomes dissonance abroad yet beats the drum
compelling, every sound yields on His might.
I stand with You, Lord of Blades and Power,
my bonds undone, I will not bow to evil.

Epag day 1: Happy Birthday Wesir! (Osiris)

---------

He Who is above, and below.
Who comes forth from the horizon to create the heavens themselves,
Whose beauty fills the Earth at our feet.
The stars come from You,
the Blessed Dead shine forth.
Heritage of the land, Ruler of the two horizons,
Bless my comings and my goings
from each first light to the final journey West.
Ground me to the dirt as I tread,
black as pitch, cool like melted ice,
but lift me up to soar amongst the greatest heights
that I may know the bounds of Your Kingdom.
Bestow upon me Your grief
that I may know separation, sacrifice, and reconciliation,
to appreciate what came before
and welcome steps to come with an embrace.
He Who glides upon the lake like air,
and lifts the gentle birds upon His back,
refresh my face Yourself
so that I look upon this world with eyes anew.

Random question: are there any good lists of ancient #Egyptian loanwords in ancient #Hebrew ? I'm interested in sound correspondences between the writing systems in particular, and I thought that loanwords might give useful evidence.
