God’s tomb discovered in Qurna

 

A new complex representing a model of the mythical Tomb of Osiris was discovered in Sheikh Abd el-Gourna, inside the unpublished tomb of Kampp -327-.

 

The Canarian-Tuscan Archaeological Mission directed by Dr. María Milagros Álvarez Sosa and deputy director Dr. Irene Morfini, in Cooperation with the Ministry of State for Antiquities, holds the concession of two tombs in the Theban area of Sheikh Abd el-Gourna: TT109 (tomb of Min) and Kampp -327- (anonymous tomb).

While the tomb of Min is almost completely unpublished, except for some attempts at drawing plans during the 20th century and a brief article written by Philippe Virey in 1887, tomb Kampp -327- is wholly unpublished. The architecture of this tomb is peculiar, representing a model of the mythical tomb of Osiris, of which the most evident replica known so far is considered the Osireion at Abydos (see plan).

Rune Bag

Posted on by admin

A strangly productive xmas day. Apart from the eating and drinking of junk and the general lounging that occurs, i built my first lego model in years that i cant count.

It was the Ghostbusters car, a really geeky present to myself. So love that film and the time it came out holds some good memories. In any case the two hours (yes, 2 hrs and 100 pages), left a creative void.

I filled that void making a draw string rune bag for my own rune set. I had them in a small velvet bag i bought in london but not been convinced it was ideal. The first thing is the pentagram on the front does not fit my craft style – never used a pentagram. And thought a surface to cast them on would be useful.

So this picture is what i came up with using a rough bit of leather off cut and a spare hag stone.

Yule Once Again

Posted on by admin

This is most funny. Just going through my blog posts that are hiding in draft and found this posting made exactly a year ago which I failed to post and it is relevant to right now too. Funny that in a way…. And a little sad.

Every year Yule approaches me as if a rampaging bull. And each year I fail to engage.  This year is no different I think, a combination of being in denial of a cold, work, family and failing in many ways to focus on the next book.

Yule is my least favourite festival never really found a use for it, perhaps its because its the furthest from the summer you can get?
