Egypt Vlog # 18 - Tomb of Seshem Nefer Theti
Tomb of Seshem Nefer Theti
Geometry of Alchemy: Tomb of Nefer & the Pyramids
The Geometry of Alchemy.
Ancient Egyptian tombs such as Khuwy and Nefer point to tantalising evidence of alchemical craft relating to glass/ceramics, metallurgy, dyes and glazes. However these tombs, especially Nefer also hints at the Sacred Geoemtry of ancient Egypt. Especially the undersanding of Pythagorean Theorem. A key aspect in esoteric mystery schools right up unti l the modern era.
At some point the physical evidence can't be insitinctively dismissed as pure coincidence by the orthodox viewpoint. Or ignored by some alternative viewpoints looking only for the more fantastic explanations to these mysteries.

The Tomb of Seshem Nefer Theti, Guardian of the King's Secrets
Seshem Nefer Theti, Guardian of the King's Secrets hmm...... wonder what all he knew?
Tumba-Mastaba de Mereruka (Saqqara, Egipto)
Mereruka (c. 2300 a.C.) fue unos de los chatys (canciller) del faraón de la sexta dinastía Teti y gobernador de Menfis. Según hizo escribir en su tumba, tenía 84 de títulos, entre ellos Ministro de Justicia, Chaty, Jefe de los sacerdotes lectores, Amigo único, Sacerdote de Anubis. Estaba casado con una de las hijas del rey, la princesa Sesseset II, con la que tuvo varios hijos. El mayor, Meriteti, llegó a ser también Inspector de los trabajos de la pirámide de Teti. Se hizo contruir en Saqqara una mastaba al norte de la pirámide de Teti, tumba que contiene relieves policromados considerados entre los más bonitos del Imperio Antiguo.
Era propietario de un gran mastaba familiar al noreste de la necrópolis de Saqqara, junto al complejo funerario del faraón; en ella fueron enterrados él, su esposa Uatet-Jet-hor, también llamada Sesseset, y su hijo Meriteti (hijo mayor, Inspector de los sacerdotes de la pirámide); también menciona a sus otros hijos: Pepianj, Memi, Jenti, Apref, Jenu y Nefer, así como a otra hija cuyo nombre no se conserva. Es uno de los mejores ejemplos de las lujosas tumbas de los cortesanos de finales del Imperio Antiguo.
La tumba fue descubierta y excavada por Jacques de Morgan en 1893. De 23 x 41 metros, está forrada de piedra caliza y en el exterior se detallan los títulos del chaty, y curiosamente está orientada al sur y no al norte como era lo habitual. Es la mastaba más grande de las descubiertas, con treinta y una cámaras en tres grupos: 21 de Mereruka (10 de ellas totalmente decoradas), 5 de Seshseshat y 5 de Meriteti, añadidas posteriormente al norte. Adicionalmente, existen 3 pozos que conducen a sus cámaras funerarias. Una serie de cámaras forman un corredor que conduce a una gran sala cuyo techo se apoya en seis pilares.
En la pared norte había un nicho con la estatua de Mereruka, que se conserva en el Museo de El Cairo. En ella, el chaty aparece de pie con la pierna izquierda avanzada, llevando en la mano un rollo. Porta peluca ceremonial, un pectoral y pulseras, y a sus pies hay una mesa de ofrendas de alabastro. El nicho está rodeado con las fórmulas que se habían de recitar en honor a los muertos y una descripción de todo lo que necesitaba en la otra vida.
La decoración de la sala representa escenas de la vida cotidiana: el cultivo de los campos, ganado, una fiesta con músicos y bailarines, escenas de caza y pesca y del trabajo de diferentes artesanos. Vigilando todo, aparecen Mereruka y Seshseshat. En la antecámara había una puerta falsa de granito rojo y un serdab que contuvo antes otra estatua de Mereruka.
..............
Mereruka served during the sixth dynasty of Egypt as one of Egypt's most powerful officials at a time when the influence of local state noblemen was increasing in wealth and power. Mereruka held numerous titles along with that of Vizier which made him the most powerful person in Egypt after the king himself. Some of the other state titles which Mereruka held included 'Inspector of the priests attached to the pyramid of Teti', 'Governor of the palace', 'Chief lector-priest', 'Overseer of the royal record scribes' and 'Director of all the works of the king'.
The mastaba of Mereruka is the largest and most elaborate of all the non-royal tombs in Saqqara with 33 rooms or chambers in total. Mereruka was the vizier to king Teti, who was the first pharaoh of the 6th dynasty Old Kingdom period of Egypt. Mereruka was married to Teti's daughter, princess Seshseshet Waatetkhethor. He was, therefore, the king's son-in-law. Princess Seshseshet Waatetkhethor is buried in Mereruka's mastaba tomb along with their son, Meriteti. The paintings on the wall in the entrance of the tomb show Mereruka painting the seasons and playing a board game. The first three chambers are decorated with scenes of furniture making, hunting and goldsmith working. A lifelike statue of Mereruka was found intact within the principal chamber at the far end of his mastaba tomb. This chamber is approached through the mastaba tomb's false door. Mereruka's mastaba tomb boasts vibrant and well preserved tomb decorations and numerous relief scenes. His mastaba tomb remained hidden from view until it was discovered and excavated by Jacques de Morgan, of the Egyptian Antiquities Service in 1892. However, the first major publication on his tomb did not occur until over 40 years later in 1936 by Prentice Duell. Mereruka was also known by his 'beautiful' or chosen name of Meri.

In doing so, Unas initiated a tradition that would be followed in the pyramid of the kings and queens of the Sixth to Eighth Dynasties, until the end of the Old Kingdom circa 200 years later.
Two tombs were reopened for the first time since the late 1980s as well.
The tombs of Ankh-Mahor and Nefer-Seshem-Ptah both date back to the 6th dynasty (approx 2345 – 2181 BC).
After the opening, a moment of silence and candle-light vigil were held for the victims of the last week's EgyptAir flight that was lost in the Mediterranean sea.

STORYLINE:
Czech archaeologists have unearthed the 4,500-year-old tomb of a Pharaonic princess south of Cairo, in a finding that suggests other undiscovered tombs may be in the area.
Professor Miroslav Barta, who heads the Czech archaeologist team, said that Princess Shert Nebti's burial site is surrounded by the tombs of four high officials from the Fifth Dynasty dating to around 2,500 BC in the Abu Sir complex near the famed step pyramid of Saqqara.
Inscriptions on the four limestone pillars of the Princess' tomb indicate that she is the daughter of King Men Salbo.
One of the leading persons that was buried here is the princess Shert Nebti...Shert Nebti, the nose of two ladies, belonged to a royal family, a royal family of a king that is buried northwards in the pyramid field of Abu Sir, said Barta.
The antechamber to the princess' tomb includes four limestone columns and hieroglyphic inscriptions.
The current excavation has also unearthed an antechamber containing the sarcophagi of the four officials and statues of men, women, and a child.
The archaeologists working at the site are from the Czech Institute of Egyptology, which is funded by the Charles University of Prague.
Their excavation began this month.
The discovery comes weeks after the Egyptian government reopened a pyramid and a complex of tombs that had been closed for restoration work for a decade.
Egypt's vital tourism industry has suffered from the country's internal unrest in the wake of the 2011 uprising that toppled autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.
A delegation from the International Monetary Fund is currently in Egypt for negotiations over a 4.8 (b) billion US dollar loan aimed at bolstering the country's ailing economy.

Khentakawess III 4500 year old tomb in Egypt Pharaoh Neferefre's wife Egyptian RELIGION is black
The Ancient Egyptian religion came from africa with the first evidence of a religion being from botswana and there is a python head. No religion came without preconceived notions of the nature of religion from other religions before ( except the first ). Archaeologists discover 4500 year old tomb. Another missing piece in the puzzle and the statues that come with it. Czech archaeologists have unearthed the tomb of a previously unknown queen believed to have been the wife of Pharaoh Neferefre who ruled 4,500 years ago, officials in Egypt said Sunday.
The tomb was discovered in Abu Sir, an Old Kingdom necropolis southwest of Cairo where there are several pyramids dedicated to pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty, including Neferefre.
The name of his wife had not been known before the find, Antiquities Minister Mamdouh al-Damaty said in a statement.
He identified her as Khentakawess, saying that for the “first time we have discovered the name of this queen who had been unknown before the discovery of her tomb”.
That would make her Khentakawess III, as two previous queens with the same name have already been identified.
Her name and rank had been inscribed on the inner walls of the tomb, probably by the builders, Damaty said.
“This discovery will help us shed light on certain unknown aspects of the Fifth Dynasty, which along with the Fourth Dynasty, witnessed the construction of the first pyramids,” he added.
Miroslav Barta, who heads the Czech Institute of Egyptology mission who made the discovery, said the tomb was found in Neferefre’s funeral complex.
“This makes us believe that the queen was his wife,” Barta said, according to the statement.
An official at the antiquities ministry said the tomb dated from the middle of the Fifth Dynasty (2994-2345 BC).
Archaeologists also found around 30 utensils, 24 made of limestone and four of copper, the statement added.
