Ancient Egyptian mummy masks, tombs and 'god of silence' statue discovered at Saqqara

Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a series of tombs dating from about 1,800 to 4,800 years ago, some of which contain colorful mummy masks and even the childlike statue of the god of silence, according to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.

The colorful mummy masks, which would have been worn by the dead, date to the Ptolemaic period (304 to 30 B.C.) and Roman period (29 B.C. to A.D. 641), according to Nozomu Kawai, the director of the Institute for the Study of Ancient Civilizations and Cultural Resources at Kanazawa University in Japan, who led the excavations.

The archaeologists also found a small statue showing Harpocrates, a Greek god that looks like a child who is associated with silence, riding a goose. The goose represents "an evil spirit over which the Divine Child triumphs," Kawai told Live Science in an email. Read more.

Just wanted to remind you that Apollo is a very Proud Dad™ because when AoD was trying to give this guy a clue in the TTT on the identity of Harpocrates, it decided to use doctors and Apollo without a second thought said Asclepius's name and then Will's as his favourite and best doctors

🌑 Subtle Harpocrates Worship 🌹

Take time to sit in silence with yourself; become comfortable with your own presence

Keep secrets that people tell you; don't tell the stories that aren't yours to tell (e.g. a person's trauma, an embarrassing thing someone has shared, etc.)

Have a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)

Wear jewelry that reminds you of him

Keep a picture of him in your wallet

Have a stuffed animal snake, snail, or hawk (sparrowhawk specifically)/bird of prey

Have imagery of roses, wings, sunrises, or secrets/mysteries (maybe fog?) around

Take a walk under the new moon (if it is safe to do so in your area)

Watch the sunrise; watch the first sunrise of winter

Engage with childhood media or activities

Drink some wine or berry-flavored tea; raise a glass in his honor

Read about mysteries; mysteries in history, unsolved cases of things, mystery novels, etc.

If you have long hair, wear it in a side-braid

Learn when to keep certain things to yourself; practice restraint

Take time to meditate in a dark and quiet environment; take that time to decompress and practice mindfulness

Ground yourself regularly; practice emotional regulation skills

Learn not to judge a book by its cover; be more understanding with people

Study psychology/the human mind

Be kind to children; play with them if offered

Wear blues, purples, muted colors, or colors of the sunrise

Explore new places, especially abandoned places or places that have an air of mystery to them

Sit with a loved one in silence; do your own thing as you are together

Engage in a relaxing activity; read a book, draw, do yoga, etc.

Take a self-care bath/shower, especially with dim light (please be safe about this)

Forgive yourself for past mistakes; practice releasing past regrets

Learn to become comfortable within your own presence

Light a bonfire and sit in front of it under the night sky; focus on the peace of the moment, the warmth of the fire, the silence of the night

This was a requested deity, and it was rather difficult to find information on him, unfortunately. He was a result of cultural fusion between the Greeks and Egyptians, and very little is known about him. He is known as the God of Silence, interestingly due to a cultural misunderstanding on the part of the Greeks, thinking his raised finger meant hushing when the Egyptians symbolized childhood with his raised finger (raised finger as in this: 🤫). Honestly, I had never heard of him before receiving the request. 💀

Nonny, wherever you are, I hope you find this helpful! Take care, friend. 💜

Shout out to the lesser known syncretic deities of the hellenistic period, I love y'all:

Serapis (who seems to have been syncretized with Hades/Pluto), lord of the Underworld who arose from Osiris-Apis

Harpocrates, child god of silence, son of Isis and Serapis who arose from the child Horus

Hermanubis, who arose out of the syncretism of Hermes and Anubis

Zeus/Jupiter Ammon, from the syncretism of Zeus and Ammon

Isis in her greco-roman interpretation, wife of Serapis and mother of Harpocrates, commonly shown breastfeeding him. She was syncretized with Aphrodite, Demeter and Persephone

I may make another post like this later

Random tired thought but what if Harpocrates isn't one person but is just the name everyone who it could possibly fit uses when they want to get involved with the Syndicate. Most of the time it's Callahan, Punz, or Purpled, but it has been Dream, Hannah, Eret, Foolish, Ponk, and probably some other people before.

(In a post-prison Syndicate AU, Dream takes it on full-time and everyone else just has to figure something else out if they want to get involved)

Purpled and Punz know that they're both Harpocrates and sometimes work together as the fifth Syndicate member. Callahan knows that someone else is also Harpocrates but doesn't know who it is and doesn't really care. All the various bit Harpocri know subconsciously that other people also use the alias but don't know who specifically.

This is all very confusing for the Syndicate, especially because they don't know that Harpocrates is multiple people. Techno's constantly making conspiracy theories about who it is and everyone else just indulges him.
