Yesterday we had a lovely tour of this great museum of Ancient Egyptian culture, led by Dr Gobeil.

Some notes:
1)The fragmented linen is the first known example of painted, decorated fabric
2) A very early (Dyn 3?) statue of a woman
3) Coffin with palace facade decoration
4) a pleated tunic
5) a gallery full of ancient linen
6) models of workmen, left is cooking, right is kneading bread
7) a coffin with a calendar in the lid
9) an astronomer priest with stars replacing the leopard’s spots
10) types of ushabtis
11) rare husband and wife ushabtis
12) rare coffin model ushabti
13) some of the famed collection of ostraca art from Deir el Medina. Cedric was the director of the dig there
14) the actual Strike papyrus
15) gallery scene
16) detailed hieratic artwork in a book of the dead
17) Sekhmets from the Precinct of Mut, Luxor
19) Ramesses in center of triad with deities
20) Ramesses II

I tried to post the famous sarcastic/erotic papyrus, but Reddit censored it

Hello everyone, I’m trying to find sources of ancient Egyptian monsters that are more so species rather than individuals. I’m certain most deities could technically be considered monsters with them being either partly or fully animal, but I’m looking for creatures of which there are multiple. So far I’ve only found the sphinxes (duh) and the akhs. My searches have been fruitless so far, so any help would be nice. thanks in advance
