#Boy King

[midnight1404]

Like, im not smart enough (and english being a second language doesnt help) to explain in a way 100% satisfactory, but cmon, the basic stuff is here: Crown that simbolizes the inhuman weight/responsability they carry and their doom, a close friend/follower that betrays them, their mother seeing their victories and figure as an outsider BUT, still they know their kids are doomed since the beginning, their life and actions turning into a myth/supernatural stuff pre and post thei death, a lover/romantic relationship """that shouldnt exist""", ROBB EVEN HAS A CRUXIFICATION (robbwind) where he is mocked by his enemies.

the main difference in asoiaf, is that the one who is ressurected is the mother

King Tut’s Iconic Death Mask Was Intended for Someone Else

Research from the University of York points to an "overlooked clue" hiding in plain sight.

Tutankhamun’s death mask is one of the most-recognized images around the globe. Measuring 21 inches tall, inlaid with a detailed mosaic of precious stones, and featuring a 5.5 lb golden beard, the artifact is surely one of the world’s most iconic objects. But researchers think that the pharaoh’s ears may be hiding a secret in plain sight.

The death mask was found in 1925 by the Egyptologist Howard Carter during his excavations of Tutankhamun’s tomb which his team rediscovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings near the city of Luxor. Carter’s records are kept at the University of Oxford’s Griffith Institute which was established 17 years after Carter first discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb as the center for Egyptology at the university, named after the university’s first Professor of Egyptology, Francis Llewellyn Griffith.

Tutankhamun, known as the “Boy King,” came to the throne aged just nine and ruled Egypt for around nine years between ca. 1332 and 1323 BCE. He was riddled with ailments including scoliosis and a cleft palate, thought to be due to his parents being brother and sister.

But new research out of the University of York suggests that the mask was not originally designed for the young Pharaoh, and was instead intended for a regal female burial—perhaps Tutankhamun’s stepmother Queen Nefertiti who died before Tutankhamun, though no specific date for her death is known. This theory hinges on one key detail of the death mask: Tutankhamun’s pierced ears.

Piercings were typically only found on the death masks of female rulers and children. Lead researcher Professor Joann Fletcher said in a documentary for History Hit in 2022 that “research suggests that the King wouldn’t have worn earrings beyond childhood, so by the age of 20 when he died he would not have been portrayed with pierced ears” calling the pierced ears of the mask a “long-overlooked feature”.

When compared, the gold used on the face of Tutankhamun is entirely different to the gold used on the rest of the mask, suggesting—as Fletcher put it—that Tutankhamun’s face was “effectively grafted on” to the pre-existing mask of a previous—and likely female—ruler.

There is no doubt, however, that the likeness is of King Tut, as the likeness of a death mask was considered imperative should the person’s soul be able to be reunited with their body for judgement by the god of funerary practices and guide to the underworld, Anubis, after their death.

“I was sure the death mask was not specifically designed for King Tut”, Fletcher said.

Fletcher suggests that the originally intended recipient of the mask could be the Pharaoh Nefertiti, who married and ruled alongside Tutankhamun’s father Pharaoh Akhenaten. This theory was first proposed in 2015 by the British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves. There is scholarly debate about whether Nefertiti ruled as pharaoh on her own for a short time between her husband’s death and Tutankhamun ascending to the throne. Nefertiti’s tomb has never been discovere

The reason for this make-do-and-mend approach to the burial of, at that point, the most powerful and wealthy man in Egypt may be due to the suddenness of his death, aged around 19. Theories on Tutankhamun’s cause of death have included murder, but it is currently believed that he passed away from malaria and an infection the young ruler developed after a serious chariot crash which left him with a broken leg at the time of his burial. The lack of preparation for this death may have led to the decision to alter a pre-existing mask rather than commission a new one from scratch. Other details suggesting that Tutankhamun’s burial was hurried were patches of paint on the walls of his tomb which would have still been wet when the tomb was sealed.

The mask is kept in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, which re-opened last month after an 11 year delay.

dean definitely kept sam’s baby teeth.

he probably pulled some out himself. laid one hand on the side of sam’s neck, his thumb pushed up under his jaw to keep him steady but also as a sign of reassurance.

he’d dig his fingers in but hold himself back from moving the pad of his thumb along his brother’s tongue and lips.

“good boy sammy” when he managed to pull the stubborn bastard out. he’d make sure sam put it under his pillow and that the tooth fairy rewarded him heavily for it.

he’d put the teeth in a little plastic bag and carry them around for years. neither john or sam any wiser about it.

I don't share a lot of traits with the character I aspire to be like.

I'm not smart, not witty, I'm bad at planning and scheming and as much as I have the urge to be inventive, maths is an enemy of mine. I'm not a leader type of person, either and most of things I try to learn and remember escape my memory as soon as I stop looking at it. I don't know how to use my words as weapons, on the contrary, I'm struggling a lot with finding words in many circumstances.

What I do have in common with this comfort character of mine is the change in what people might need me to be, especially in work setting. I can be the reliable and determined worker and the patient and compassionate coworker. I can be the person who jokes around with one type of customer and who is serious for the other. I'm the patient listener when old people tell me stories and the encouraging listener when kids talk about what interests them. I'm siding with customers who are angry if I suppose it would calm them and I'm sympathetic towards those who are upset in other ways.

I possess this endless supply of hope and optimism, especially for others, even when I'm deep in my most devastating thoughts and moods. I acknowledge the dark sides of my being and have made peace with them.

And I want to change things for the better - as we all should- although my game is that part could use serious increase.
