CAIRO -- Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,500-year-old door to the afterlife from the tomb of a high-ranking Egyptian official near Karnak temple in Luxor, the Egyptian antiquities authority said Monday.

These recessed niches found in nearly all ancient Egyptian tombs were meant to take the spirits of the dead to and from the afterworld. The nearly six-foot- tall slab of pink granite was covered with religious texts.

Detrimental? Really?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

You forgot Zenobia of Palmyra

[Little Bill]

Cleopatra, Ceasar, Marc Antony.
Boudica, Fail.
Eleanor of Aquitaine, Two time looser.
Victoria I, Figure head.
Empress Theodora, hear say, possibly a spine stiffener during the Nika Riots, Procopus is a doubtful commentator.</p.

But how are they detrimental to mankind?

[greyfoxx39]

LOL...I think it proves that Joseph Smith was right when he translated "Reformed Egyptian".

[Little Bill]

What did they accomplish? Not much, except to prolong war, and kill off their subjects and condemn them to slavery.

The influence that they put forth was the same as the town pump, I am me, come and worship.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

You sure seem to be dismissive of women in power, but you sure seem short of specificity of why it was detrimental to mankind for them to have been in power.

[Little Bill]

You might of noticed that those that you mentioned accomplished nothing of note except to be mentioned in History, as women, except for Lizzy the First, whom I like, being of English descent and all.

History is the story of Kings and Wars, not T&A, which seemed to be detrimental to the advancement of civilization, even Queen Maude reminds me of my dear ex, never accomplished anything.

No, lol. From time to time I do see a REAL picture from the Pyramids of a person coming through what is clearly a gate. It is shaped more like the doors we have today than anything Egyptian. It is a recent discovery that was found after the book Stargate was written. I keep looking for a still shot of it but so far only video. Oh and the person coming through has a classic head of a god from the Egyptian period. I have written the Egyptian Museum asking for a picture but I have not heard back.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Catherine the Great did nothing of note? Deborah of Israel did nothing of note?

Bring up the terms “T&A” shows the respect you have for women in general and the crude and crass nature that you have developed for yourself.

I have learned more than enough about you and your views.

Shame on you.

I guess the stone was raised to mark the fall of the house of User??

[Little Bill]

I am sorry you take that view, I am crude and crass and I learned that in my youth.

I used to watch Wonder Woman, mainly for the T&A, with my kids but having spent a couple of tours in Viet Nam as an Infantry NCO, I was amused, A, 2/35 Inf, D, 3/4 Cav, 25 Infantry Division, I was amused that mommy was always right.

I have always supported the Roman Solution in Forign Wars. As as far as I can see manipulation not direction is woman role in Strategy.

I’m a little put off that the afterlife is Art Deco.
