Switching places: Bella and Kebi.

•Bella: a beautiful human slave gifted to Amun. Bella still has her gift though.

•Kebi: a beautiful human teenage girl living with her mother and stepfather.

Who survives and who has a better outcome in life?

Caveat

Backgrounds inform who we are as people.

I've said this before so I won't harp on it too long but Bella growing up as the child of a divorced household, with her mother, is a huge influence on who she is as a person we see in canon and you can't just stick her in the Old Kingdom and tell her to go nuts.

Similar with Kebi.

I can do my best but I'm really just guessing here.

Bella

Easy, she gets the Demetri offer.

Bella is a slave turned by Amun, she might be dazzled by the idea of having become a goddess/in service of the god Amun, but I imagine this wanes as Egypt falls and the Volturi come into power.

She may get the offer right then and there as Aro would be very interested in Amun not having this girl who can block his gift. However, if she doesn't then, she certainly does when Demetri gets the offer.

Given at this point Bella's been through much suffering she might very well take the offer. There is a chance she uses her gift to resist Chelsea (but Demetri probably walks anyway) and sticks with Amun hating everything and herself and is a miserable person as Kebi herself was.

Kebi

No gift?

If she stays with her mother/doesn't return to Forks then she's fine.

If for some reason she goes to Forks when her mother remarries she gets eaten by Edward.

Conclusion

Everyone loses.

I know this isn't ninjago guys but I finished this 17 hour painting for my art class and I was proud of it so...enjoy.

I love Egypt fun fact about me. :) [ID: a detailed, realistic painting of the hathor columns at the dendera temple complex in dendera, egypt. /end ID]

This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.

I want to clarify that I saw BOTH letters and numbers.

Could this be about love and deception or love and discernment ? 👀 When I see Romans you already know what that could mean. Pray about it and enjoy one of films most epic movies:

UPDATE:

I am shook. And that’s all.

So, I saw this image on Facebook, and it was supposedly showing what Queen Nefertiti would have looked like in real life:

Now, I thought this AI generated garbage was just truly terrible on a number of levels; first off, she looks wayyyyyy too modern - her makeup is very “Hollywood glamour”, she looks airbrushed and de-aged, and as far as I’m aware, Ancient Egyptians didn’t have mascara, glitter-based eyeshadows and lip gloss. Secondly, her features are exceptionally whitewashed in every sense - this is pretty standard for AI as racial bias is prevalent in feeding AI algorithms, but I genuinely thought a depiction of such a known individual would not exhibit such euro-centric features. Thirdly, the outfit was massively desaturated and didn’t take pigment loss into consideration, and while I *do* like the look of the neck attire, it's not at all accurate (plus, again, AI confusion on the detailing is evident).

So, this inspired me to alter the image on the left to be more accurate based off the sculpture’s features. I looked into Ancient Egyptian makeup and looked at references for kohl eyeliner and clay-based facial pigment (rouge was used on cheeks, charcoal-based powder/paste was used to darken and elongate eyebrows), and I looked at pre-existing images of Nefertiti, both her mummy and other reconstructions. While doing this, I found photos of a 3D scanned sculpture made by scientists at the University of Bristol and chose to collage the neck jewellery over the painting (and edited the lighting and shadows as best as I could).

Something I see a lot of in facial recreations of mummies is maintaining the elongated and skinny facial features as seen on preserved bodies - however, fat, muscle and cartilage shrink/disappear post mortem, regardless of preservation quality; Queen Nefertiti had art created of her in life, and these pieces are invaluable to developing an accurate portrayal of her, whether stylistic or realistic in nature.

And hey, while I don't think my adjustments are perfect (especially the neck area), I *do* believe it is a huge improvement to the original image I chose to work on top of.

I really liked working on this project for the last few days, and I think I may continue to work on it further to perfect it. But, until then, I hope you enjoy!

Remember, likes don't help artists but reblogs do!

About the Egyptian coven:

"Kebi has little emotion for anyone besides Amun. Benjamin she tolerated because he made Amun happy, but she was somewhat jealous of the boy. When Benjamin brought Tia home, Kebi was pleased; she hoped Amun would be less entranced with the boy when it was clear he loved Tia more than Amun. Kebi‘s hopes about that rift were not entirely fulfilled, as Benjamin continued to love Amun as a father. But Amun‘s jealousy of Benjamin‘s affections, though well concealed, was enough to make Kebi content."

Please tell me I'm just paranoid and no one else gets groomer vibes from Amun and 'Kebi‘s jealousy'

Sorry, anon.

For what it's worth, I can believe this one's not sexual, that Amun is entirely using Benjamin for perceived power because of his gift and that Kebi is worried about being replaced by anyone but I don't think we can rule out what you're suggesting either.

Another point that could be in the favor of your theory: Amun doesn't like Tia at all. Now, this is in part because Tia doesn't blindly trust Amun, she has no gift, and could potentially lure Benjamin away from Amun but again it doesn't make it not possible.

I'd have to reread Breaking Dawn to see how the Egyptian coven interacts to really come back with an opinion as that'd be the tipping of the scales for me (Bella, obviously, would notice nothing but the key is to take note of what Bella doesn't notice).

There are more than two tales about how Egypt came to be ,the one on the surface that we all know and the one below which for ages has been denied to us by Egyptologists for one reason alone ,that is to keep the timeline of events and dynasties as a permanent and lasting and never allow new discoveries to destroy the secrets guarded so jealousy by Academia.But those who have sworn secrecy at all costs are dying of old age,and that’s good because new blood will be free to open those vaults and find out why they hid all these years the truth from us.For starters the truth about the Cydonia complex on Mars with their pyramids and their underground passages and the sacred connection with the Earth and Egypt.Check the link with NASA and Richard Hoagland if you are interested. What never ceases to amaze me is the mathematical and geometrical precision of the many sculptures found,something no human hand could design and carve as we are often told. The Egyptian rabbit hole goes deeper than any of us can possibly imagine.There are portals and gates that with the proper knowledge someday we will find out how the so called gods could travel through wormholes and build the pyramid with such accurate alignments with the stars. Egyptologists know about this many secrets but the government and the Vatican elites continue to clutch them,why? In part because religions would collapse if they were to spill the beans of truth.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.

[evilwizard]

legend tells that Thoth, god of knowledge and magic, played cards with Khonsu, god of the moon, and won 5 extra days worth of moonlight. he gave them to the sky goddess Nut (who was forbidden from giving birth on any day of the then 360-day year), subsequently allowing her to produce Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys—one on each of the five days

no one knows that Thoth was up to with the whole “leap year” thing. after all, there’s no way Nut could give birth to just 1/4th of a god. unless…..

no way!!!! this has become a CERTIFIED MEDJED POST!!!!!!!!!!
