This is a sim for #elliescc @mylittlesimcorner 31-day Simblreen CAS challenge, an Egyptian queen living in her best afterlife era. She was recently awoken by a neophyte archeologist (Don Lothario🤭) who found her sarcophagus deep in the jungle of Selvadorada. He was awed by her beauty and regalness, understandably, and fell under her spell of charm and natural ability to lead. Yasss, Queen.

Day 28 theme:

🍷💅🏽Ancient🏺🐪

Don introduced her to his roommates whom she immediately hired as her royal entourage. Katrina Caliente is now her royal adviser, and her daughters Dina and Nina are ladies-in-waiting. Don felt left out so the queen gave him the position of her royal concubine. She wasn't sure he knew what that was until he proudly showed up in that outfit 😅😭

omg there's like 3 more days left for me, this challenge went by kinda fast!👀

like whomst the fuck even looked at the Egyptian dude who fathered two girls who didn't survive and who himself died at the ripe old age of 18 and went "yes THIS guy is For Real the White European Ancestor". whomst the fuck even got DNA out of Tut's mangled, bitumen-drowned mummy that was apparently good enough to study and which allegedly gave such clean results. a fucking wizard? what the actual hell.

Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. She spoke 9 languages. She knew the language of Ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her dynasty. Apart from this, she knew Greek and the languages ​​of the Parthians, Hebrews, Medes, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians, and Arabs.

With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, she studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics, and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time.

Cleopatra spent a lot of time in a kind of ancient laboratory. She wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all her books were destroyed in the fire of the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. C. The famous physicist Galen studied her work, and was able to transcribe some of the recipes devised by Cleopatra.

One of these remedies, which Galen also recommended to her patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra's books also included beauty tips, but none of them have come down to us.

The queen of Egypt was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages, she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. Her influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity. She, without a doubt, is a unique figure in the history of humanity.

The reign of the Pharaohs was longer than between the end of the Pharaohs to now

Most of us know well the last pharaoh of Egypt the great Cleopatra who died in 30bce over 2000 years ago but did you know that she is closer to our time now than she is to when the first ruler of Egypt ,or the first pharaoh, united upper and lower regions of Egypt?

The first pharaoh is believed by many scholars to be Narmer otherwise known as Menes. the first to unite upper and lower Egypt giving him the prestigious title of "the lord of two lands". this unification of Egypt and the birth of the first pharaoh occurred around 3100 bce over 3000 years before the end of Cleopatra.

Whats more, Narmer's wife Neithhotep appears to be the earliest recorded woman who name is known to us today. She also may have been a pharaoh herself making her the first known female ruler in history 5000 years ago. this could of happened after the death of her husband also making her the second pharaoh in history.

so there you have it, for 3000 years the pharaohs ruled Egypt 1000 years longer than when the last pharaoh died to now.

The Finding of Moses

Artist: Lawrence Alma-Tadema  (Dutch, 1836–1912)

Genre: Religious Art

Date: 1904

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Description

The work is a Biblical scene based on chapter 2, verse 6 of the Book of Exodus, in which Pharaoh's daughter comes to wash in the River Nile, and finds the infant Moses abandoned in a basket in the reeds. The painting depicts the scene after the infant has been discovered, showing a procession travelling back to the daughter's abode in Memphis, the capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. The Finding of Moses had been a popular scene for painters, especially since the Late Renaissance.

Shaven-headed male attendant in white loincloths carry Pharaoh's daughter in an elaborately decorated chair. She wears a pink diaphanous gown and elaborate jewellery, and holds a flail in her left hand, a symbol of royalty; in her right hand, she holds a lotus flower. The style and decoration of her chair is informed by illustrations of Egyptian tomb paintings. Her feet rest on a footstool decorated with bound captives — another symbol of royalty — and also referring to the enslaved Israelites. Hieroglyphic cartouches identify her as the daughter of Ramesses II. It has been claimed that one of Alma-Tadema's daughters sat as the model for Pharaoh's daughter. Two male attendants wave ostrich feather fans, while two female attendants carry Moses in his cradle alongside. The cradle has been decorated with lotus flowers, tied on with a pink ribbon. Another female attendant plays a stringed instrument.

The painting is composed like a frieze, with bright blues and purples of delphiniums in the foregrounds; the procession passing behind; a space for the river; and then, in the background, on the other bank of the river, teams of slaves can be seen labouring under their dark-skinned overseers, possibly working on the pyramids at Giza on the opposite bank. The blues of the flowers are echoed by the lapis lazuli inlay of the chair, but contrast with yellows, oranges, reds and pinks.

The plinth and feet of a red granite statue are just visible to the front left, possibly copied from a statue of Seti II in the British Museum. The plinth bears more hieroglyphics, reading "Beloved of Ra, King of Upper and Lower Egypt."

Chapter 328: The Exchange (Pt. 1)

It was nearly midnight when Theresa, Stephanie in tow, reached the temple, which lay about two miles north of Luxor’s city center.

The ruin was deserted, since the site’s hours ended at 8 p.m. Fortunately, the gate was open – whether by coincidence or design, they did not know.

“Wow, this is impressive,” Stephanie said. “One of these days, I’d like to come back – you know, under better circumstances.”

“I know,” Theresa said, leading Stephanie through the great gateway into the temple. “I used to love Egypt, but after a while, I started thinking of it as kind of a rival for my mom’s time and affection.”

“You never told me that before,” Stephanie said.

“Well, I always felt kind of selfish feeling that way,” Theresa replied. “I mean, I never wanted to keep her from doing what she loved. I just wished, sometimes, that I could be more important than her work.”

“Stay where you are,” a voice said loudly.

Looking past the massive stone columns of the Grand Colonnade, which thrust upwards into the night sky, they saw a man near the outer wall holding a gun.

“Do you have the scroll?” he asked.

“Yes,” Theresa said. “Just as you asked. Where’s my mother?”

“Place it on the stone in front of you and step back,” the voice said.

“No,” Theresa said, forcefully. “I’ve done what you asked. Now you’re going to do what I ask. I want to see my mother.”

He paused, then turned to the second man, who pulled a woman from behind the column and pushed her forward.

“Mom!” Theresa cried. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Dr. Ruth Matthews said, weakly.

“Now the scroll, Baroness!” the leader said, gruffly.

Theresa stepped forward and carefully placing the ancient papyrus on the stone altar before her.

“Now back up,” the man said, and Theresa and Stephanie obeyed.

The second man pushed Ruth forward. She stumbled, but regained her footing as she walked slowly toward her waiting daughter.

As Ruth passed the stone upon which the papyrus lay, she slowed, staring at it and then at Theresa.

“Run!” she shouted, snatching up the scroll and running toward them.

Confused, both Theresa and Stephanie paused for a moment – until they heard gunfire echo through the temple complex.

“I said RUN!” Ruth repeated, running past them.

The three women ran back toward the front gate, where Stephanie’s rental car awaited, as the dark figures pursued her. Shards of stone flew from one of the ornately carved stone columns as another bullet struck it – just inches away from Theresa’s head.

“Are you crazy?” Theresa yelled as they leapt into the car and the engine roared to life.

More gunfire cracked through the air, and a hail of bullets struck the rear end of the vehicle. Stephanie hit the accelerator hard and the car fishtailed, then straightened as she pointed it back toward Luxor. They were safe … for the moment.

Monday 27th February 2023 - Oh yes, I love her like Egyptian, want a description? My royal highness

[lemlillianlemon]

It was around midnight when the lights started. All of the "normal" people would think that they were Aurora Borealis, the northern lights. But I knew better. So did tiny and ollie, so did Jackson and Chauncey, and Z, Alex and Alexis. We knew they were here for something but we couldn't figure out what. We were heading to the bakery for hot cocoa and pastries that were freshly made by dad and Ollie, when they landed on the flight line.

"What the fuck, I just wanna show y'all my tarts." Ollie was proud of his ability to bake. It's one of the reasons he's still alive actually. He made a perfect cake for his now boyfriends dad so he wouldn't be killed. "Sphynx, how much does one have to pay aliens to stop," he stands and thinks for a moment, "to stop being weird?" I had to laugh when his big, brown, doe eyes looked up at me. This kid was a varsity baseball player and had several letters on his letterman jacket. And yet, this little man's dyslexia is fucking up his words.

I patted his head and ruffled his hair. "Little man it's gonna be a while before that happens. Now let's get inside before the cold flashes start, ok?" He nods and looks at the back of Jackson's head before crouching down and tackling him. He yelled, "The last one to the bakery is a rotten egg!" And took off running. I watched as Tiny sprinted after him laughing neck in neck with Jackson followed by the twins.

A voice sounded next to me."Dang, who knew that the five of them were so damn fast." It was Z. His brown hair was catching snowflakes and they kept sticking to his undercut. He was smiling up at me. "I will throw you short stacks." A mock offence went over his face. "How DARE-" he got cut off by a loud bang. Alex and Alexis's dad showed up and ran into the bakery sign. Z had to hide his laughter. "You, you uh- you good old man?" He was laying on the ground as we walked over, his fedora on top of the sign and his trench coat covered in snow. "oW," he managed to choke out. Honestly I had to cough to disguise my laugh. Offenderman's weakness was a fucking bright pink sign that said "The Cardigan's Bakery!" In the font comic sans so Ollie could read it.

"You got a little something on your face, seems like it's a lil bit of get rekt!" I couldn't stop myself. I burst out laughing. Offender picked up Z and he said, "Z you little shit, I'm gonna eat you." And that just made me laugh harder. One of the ways he would get us to behave is by telling us that he was gonna turn us into soup when we were younger. "NO WAIT I CAN BEHAVE." Z's trying the safe approach. Saying he'll behave even though we both know he won't. "No can do kiddo. It's time for s o u p." Hearing Z's scream turn into laughter is one of the reasons why I'm still here with them. I may be all powerful but having a family is better then any power I could've asked for.

"Are you boys ready for some pastries? I heard Ollie made some in the shape of y'all's names!" He sets Z down when he says this and both of us are amazed. Ollie's dyslexia is so bad that he physically cannot read English. To him it's just a bunch of squiggles on a piece of paper then move and tumble. He physically cannot read it so most of the street signs around town are in both English and Hieroglyphics because he can easily read that, (I taught him and the others how to read hieroglyphics because he wanted to know how to spell his name when he was 6).

"Wait seriously? Ollie can spell our names?" I have never been so proud of him in my life. Offender shrunk down so he could fit into the bakery and opened the door for Z and I. "Why don't you two go and see for yourselves?" We both rushed in as Ollie was pulling out the pastries. Dad was leaning against the counter, a smile on his tanned face. Ollie looked just like dad but with moms personality.

"Are y'all ready? I have every one's pastries right here!" Ollie's face was priceless. He was so damn proud of himself when he started handing them out to us. Tiny got hers first, a perfectly spelled "T i n y" in hand made croissant dough. She was spewing happy noises so much she could hardly speak. Jackie was next. His name was spelt out "J a k c i e". "Did I get it right Jackie?" Jackson laughed, "you have all the letters correct Ollie!" Oliver beamed with pride, I've never seen him so happy. Alex and Alexis were next. They're identical twins, the only way outsiders can tell them apart is if they look at their eyes closely. You see the twins weren't born with eyes. They had to get a surgery done so they could see. Their doners were people who died in a car accident and their eyes were donated to the twins. Alex and Alexis are boys and have brownish grey hair, tanned skin, a wonderful sense of fashion (they wear the most beautiful dresses), and mismatched eyes. Alex has a green left eye and blue right eye, and Alexis has a blue left eye and a green right eye.

Their names came out spelled "A l e x" and "A l e i x s". I saw Ollie get worried that he didn't get the letters right. Alex, being the wise crack he is, "what's wrong Ollie? Cat got your tongue? You got both of our letters correct!" The worry spilled out of his face as it was replaced with laughter. "Haha Al, very funny," I said while rolling my eyes. I'm Egyptian and my name is Sphynx so they make furry puns and jokes a lot. I don't mind it though. It makes me feel loved.

"Ok ok," Ollie takes a deep breath before handing Z his pastry, "I think I got this one correct?" Z takes one look at it and jumps over the counter to pick up and spin Ollie laughing, "It's perfect Ollie!" After Z put down Ollie he went into the back and came out with another pastry. "I- I had a bit of trouble with this one Chauncey. I'm sorry." Ollie looked down defeated as Chauncey walked up. Chauncey's blonde hair shining underneath his red ball cap. Him and Ollie met at a baseball tournament and they instantly hit it off. Chauncey's pastry was spelt "C h a n s i e".

For some reason he started laughing. And Ollie asked confused, "babe what's happening?" Chauncey had to take a deep breath before he could reveal, "that's now my name was originally spelt before I changed it to get away from my dad!" Ollie's face brightened instantly. Ollie says to himself, "Ok now it's bubbas turn right? Where'd I put it?" He turns around and walks into the back before sliding out on his heelies. "Here you go bubba!" He hands me the most beautiful pastry I have ever seen. It was spelt "S p h y n x". It was gorgeous. "Oh my god, I love it." I couldn't not. My little baby brother has made a huge milestone. His pride filled smile warmed my cold dead heart. "Alright y'all why don't you sit down and eat." Dad was starting the hot choco when he said that. "Do you need any help papa?" Tiny's voice called out from the other side of the bakery.

Dad just laughed and said, "no princess you eat, you need the food." It's true, tiny kept forgetting to eat so we always ate with her. "Ok papa." Her smile was contagious. She was the first girl born in the town in over 100 years and Ollie was the first boy born in over 50. Both were deemed "miracle babies". This means that most of the people that moved to our little rinky dinky town were either too young, or too old to have kids. I remember the 13th of March. 2 days after Ollie was born and 1 after tiny. There was a giant festival for announcing that they were healthy and born. Tiny had brown curly hair, pretty brown, doe eyes like Ollie, and was the shortest out of all of us. She was our special person.

As soon as I went to take a bite out of my S they walked through the door. There were three of them and they were all different colors and fuzzy. There were two guys and a girl. The first one was forest green, he had brown eyes and wild hair while wearing a graphic T-shirt and jeans. The second one, the one standing to his left, was orange. He had a short haircut with combat boots, leather jacket, and black pants. He looked goth. The girl was a light pastel purple, she was wearing a winter knee length dress that was almost the same color as her skin.

"Uh hi," the green one said, he looked sheepish, "we are so sorry to bother you but we just wanted to see what the most dangerous being in the universe was doing and that happened to be you! I'm so sorry if this is weird" he rubbed the back of his neck and the orange one smacked the back of his head. "You're dumb bro," he turned to look up at me, "I'm sorry for this idiot, I'm Kenny, Shrek is named Diego, and this is Miya." He gestured to each of them. "We were sent on a mission to see what the most dangerous figure in the universe wa-" he got cut off by Chauncey shrieking and standing on a table, "Oliver I swear to God put it down before I beat you with a bat!" I look over and Ollie is holding a huge spider by one of its legs, laughing as it squirmed.

Tiny noticed and hit him with a pan making him drop the poor thing and grabbing the spider and walking over to take it outside when she stopped in front of our three visitors. Kenny, the orange one, said "please no," as she looked at him with crazy eyes. "Why not Kendell, don't you want a friend?" Kenny looked at tiny with a serious face, "I will skin you alive you little shit." She rolled her eyes and stepped out, Diego's eyes following her. "Don't Diego," Miya talked for the first time, "don't do it you know what'll happen." Diego sighed and looked sad.

"Stop looking depressed you did this to yourself man." Z walked up and put the tray he had on the counter before hopping up to sit. "You had multiple chances and now you gotta figure it out." Confusion must've betrayed me and crossed my face. Kenny started laughing and said, "ok we HAVE to explain to him or else nothing is gonna make sense."

Turns out the three of them were shopping for Tiny's birthday and Diego doesn't know what to get her so he's panicking because it's 2 days away. He never got the chance to ask her what she wanted for her birthday. I had to give this kid some guidance. He looked so sad. "Dude just get her rocks or rock tumbling stuff. She loves it. Like get her grit." Diego's face lit up while Z and Kenny laughed and Miya rolled her eyes.

Aliens have finally managed to track down the most dangerous being in the galaxy, on earth, hanging out with a bunch of humans because it likes their company.
