3,400-Year-Old Ancient Egyptian Cemetery Found With Colorful Coffins
Archaeologists have uncovered an Ancient Egyptian cemetery dated to more than 3,000 years ago containing the colorful coffin of a high priest's daughter and preserved mummies, among hundreds of other finds.
Researchers unearthed the cemetery at the Tuna el-Gebel necropolis, located almost 170 miles south of Cairo in Minya Governate, Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced in a statement on Sunday.
The cemetery, which dates back to the New Kingdom (16th-11th centuries B.C.) of ancient Egypt, was used as a burial ground for senior officials and priests during the period, according to archaeologists.
The cemetery was uncovered during excavations that began last August in the Al-Ghuraifa area of Tuna El-Gebel and features "many tombs" that have been carved into rock.
Researchers have also made hundreds of archaeological finds at the site, including stone and wooden coffins—some of which contained mummies—amulets, ornaments and funerary figurines.
One of the most notable finds at the cemetery is a colorful, engraved coffin belonging to the daughter of a high priest of the ancient Egyptian god Djehuti, often referred to as Thoth.
This deity, commonly depicted as a man with the head of an ibis or baboon, was a key figure in ancient Egyptian mythology and played several prominent roles. For example, Thoth was credited with the invention of writing and is also believed to have served as a representative of the sun god Ra.
Next to the coffin of the high priest's daughter, archaeologists found two wooden boxes containing her canopic jars, as well as a complete set of "ushabti" statues.
Canopic jars were vessels used by the ancient Egyptians to store the organs removed from the body in the process of mummification—the lungs, liver, intestines and stomach—in order to preserve them for the afterlife.
Ushabti statues, meanwhile, were figurines used in ancient Egyptian funerary practices that were placed in tombs in the belief that they would act as servants for the deceased in the afterlife.
Archaeologists also made another particularly fascinating find at the New Kingdom cemetery: a complete and well-preserved papyrus scroll measuring approximately 42-49 feet in length that features information related to the Book of the Dead.
The Book of the Dead is a collection of ancient Egyptian funerary texts consisting of spells or magic formulas that were placed in tombs. These texts were thought to protect and aid the deceased in the afterlife. They were generally written on papyrus, a material similar to thick paper that was used as a writing surface in ancient times.
Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said in the statement that the discovery of the cemetery is an "important" find.

Prayer to Djehuty
Djehuty, the great scribe, bless my hand to master the arts as you have. Master of the quill, master of words, bless my words to become willful and imaginative. O’ wise one, grant me your wisdom to make my mind as sharp as a knife, as graceful as a gazelle, as fast as the striking cobra. Mightest and wisest of the gods, bless me on this day as I call out to you.
-Raet / Akhret

It's chaos on my altar. Just gods and Pharaohs everywhere! I need to decide a layout, but for now, everyone got a polishing and some fresh incense.

Devotional Acts
Meditation and yoga to practice mindfulness and to help yourself feel more balanced. Shadow work can also be a great devotional act or going to therapy. Positive affirmations can even be a good devotional act to help you feel more confident.
Learn and study. As a god of knowledge, he loves to see people thrive. He wants you to be eager to learn about anything. Write about it afterwards, take notes. You can even read- even if it’s “brain junk,” there’s still wisdom to be found within the pages. Start learning a new language if you wish or even make one up! Learn pieces of wisdom or look at sebayts.

Signs
Ibises or ibis imagery- this can include imagery appearing on your Etsy randomly, or on your Pinterest, or other forms of social media; along with baboon imagery. You could also see this with the shed tree, as it was a scared symbol to Djehuty.
Being drawn to the moon. You may see an increase in moon imagery as well. You may have feelings of wanting to sit outside and look at the moon.
You may feel a call to want to learn or craft. You could feel the urge to randomly pick up a new language one day or to start writing.
You may see that justice is coming to you. He crafted and reinforced the laws of maat, so you could even feel a sense of justice.

... well, we don't really know where he comes from, there's various stories as to where he comes from.
He's quite an aggressive person in the beginning, but he really mellows and becomes this sort of scribe and accountant.
Historian on Thoth, podcast "The Ancients", episode "Origins of the Egyptian gods".

Djehuty, god of scribes 📜
One of Djehuty’s most important tasks was protecting mortal scribes. He inspired them to learn and grow in their literacy and was often depicted sitting over them in his baboon form.
