“…but now I was alone again. And the same feeling came to me: Avoid the World, it’s just a lot of dust and drag and means nothing in the end. But what to do instead?”

~*Happy birthday, Jack Kerouac

“Join the mob or go for what you want. Give yourself plenty of quiet time alone in order to get in touch with who you are…Focus power of thought. Remind yourself that the world is yours for the asking. The non-risker does not grow, you just get older. When you have decided which ideas, beliefs, relationships, and situations no longer work for you, it is time to release them. Let go of negative thoughts – view them as a flight of birds crossing your path. See them fly into view and continue on their way.”

The unbroken seal on the second shrine of Tutankhamun’s tomb (1922).

Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered relatively recently, as it had been buried by debris from other tombs, and workers’ houses were built over its entrance.  This protected it from grave robbers – although the outermost shrine had been opened twice in ancient times, the others had remained sealed for 3,245 years.

Just behind the entrance of the burial chamber within the tomb, Carter found a wall of gilded wood inlaid with blue faience.  This was actually the outermost shrine, one of four nested shrines that protected the king’s sarcophagus.

Each shrine was bound in copper at its lower edge, and fitted at its eastern end with double folding doors.  These doors were held shut by ebony bolts and huge silver-coated staples.  Two more staples were placed on each door for the cord binding and seal, although the corded seal on the outermost shrine was not present, and the fourth shrine had never been sealed.

Harry Burton photographed the doors of the second shrine while they were still closed.  The copper handles were secured tightly by a knotted cord, which had a delicate clay seal featuring Anubis, the Egyptian jackal god entrusted with the protection of the cemetery.
