Mummy of Thutmose III

The mummy of king Thutmose III was moved from its original burial place in tomb KV34, in the Valley of the Kings, to the Deir el-Bahari cache (“DB320”) in his original middle coffin.

The mummy was badly damaged by tomb-robbers, probably during the 21st Dynasty. When they moved the royal mummies, they had to use narrow wooden splints to hold the body together.

Apparently, the king was about 1.61 meters tall. His hands were crossed over his chest, in the Osirian position. His face was covered with resin.

New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III, ca. 1479-1425 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 26213

Nun Raises the Sun

Nun, god of the primeval waters, origin of all life and chaos, lifts the barque of the sun god Ra (represented by both the scarab and the sun disk) into the sky at the beginning of time. Nut, goddess of the Sky, is hanging from above, holding the god Osiris, also hanging from upside down, who holds the sun from above. This union, between the sun and Osiris, represents a solid eternal union between the soul and the body which meant to be a complete resurrection of the human being.

Qué placer leer meciéndose en el agua! (ilustración de Leandro Lamas)

Yergue su imperio el sol de mayo: el cielo y el mar un solo cuerpo sin conceder espacio al horizonte. Recojo un puñado de arena y lo dejo caer lentamente: sólo uno de los cristales pertenece en mi mano. Así sólo tú eres mujer entre todas las que me rodean. Epigramas para la desamada (fragmento) de Vicente Quirarte, en Fundada en el tiempo.
