Tomb of the Pharohs Manicurists, well worth veiwing

a poster was looking for information on the Anu of pre dynastic Egypt
so I was trying to help him out ,Didn't find the Anu,but I found this amazing site with all kinds of unusual arcane of the wall Egyptology

and the Tomb of the Manicurists


honestly I was very moved by this tomb, it gave me a perspective on the sentiments and feeling of the people of Egypt I would never have considered had I not seen this


anyway the site is just fascinating enjoy

This is really interesting. Shows how ancient country's like Greece, Rome and Egypt we're more human then a majority of countries around the world.

exactly what I learned from it Romantic_ Rebel !

the love and respect and genuine tenderness that went into this is far removed from the lavish over the top displays of wealth in the royal burials

it really brings the everyday loving interactions of real people with real lives home for me

Does anyone find it ironic that the gays even those days were stylists?

I know it's off-topic but you mentioned it. Anu is Sumerian in origin, try using ancient Sumerian searches not Egyptian. I'm sure you'll find more than you need.

Here's a google search 'sumer+anu' : www.fastbrowsersearch.com...[911E31D7-D3B2-9A85-1180-4D019C842AF3]

Here's the Anu wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org...
