[The Vigorous Nature of Seth's Coition]

Hello new followers, welcome to this Egyptologist’s random blog! Here I yell about Egypt, my novel, and life as a new mum, all the while sharing bullshit memes and making lettuce shitposts.

You can send me asks about ancient Egypt if you want to. However, I’m super exhausted because my daughter is a difficult sleeper and I tend to prioritise selfcare and writing in my rare hours of free time, so I’m at the moment only sporadically answering asks. This means that, depending on the number of asks I receive and/or their level of complexity, you may have to wait a while before you get your answer. Before sending an ask about Egypt, do check out the FAQ. I’m in the process of updating it with about a year’s worth of backlog, so if your question isn’t in there yet, just ask it without worrying if I’ve answered it before or not. If your ask is time-sensitive, let me know so I can try to take it into account when I have some free time.

My official field of expertise is ancient Egyptian medicine, subspecialty head trauma/surgical treatment (particularly in the Edwin Smith Papyrus). I’ve also become the unofficial Seth expert through my incessant yelling about the divine dickface in question.

My other fields of interest are:

• The early Middle Kingdom/12th Dynasty
• Material culture and art history
• Literature
• Engineering/technology and materials

This doesn’t mean your questions have to be limited to those topics, but they will give you the best odds of an extensive answer. Please don’t ask me about Cleopatra’s ethnicity.

As of 12/7/2021 I have 11 asks in the inbox that I’m trying to answer chronologically as much as I can.

The book I’m writing is a historical fantasy set in Ancient Egypt, about an infamous thief with the powers of the desert looking for her own identity in all the wrong places. When her hubris finally catches up with her, she has no choice but to help the harsh general who’d much rather see her dead defeat a magician with more heka than any mortal should possess. I yell about this thing a lot, you’ll get used to it.

I also sometimes turn my shitposts into t-shirts and mugs. You can find my shop over at: https://teespring.com/stores/a-shitpost-in-shirt-form

nimrud-the-gnostic asked:

So trying to calm down, but please enlighten me as to what the hell was wrong with Europeans when it came to appropriating historical art. It just seems that there was a total disregard and blatant wanton sense of disrespect for every other culture's sense of society and history. I'm East African Sudanese/Ethiopian/Egyptian) and my grandparents even remember having to deal with grave robbers and peddlers who had such an extreme superiority complex that they even took family mummies and remains from people, and apparently they would even consume (eat and drink) the remains of said mummies. I guess that I need to vent and do apologize for venting to you, because this is not your problem and you are not guilty of the "mistakes" from the past, however it severely irks me to know or find out about any form of the collective human history being desecrated and destroyed for shits and giggles or blind religious fervor.

thatlittleegyptologist answered:

I mean you’re sorry to vent, but you’re also in my inbox literally asking me for reasons why Europeans did what they did, and I can’t give you those answers. It’s not always clear why they did what they did, other than ‘because they could’ which again can be simplified further as 'colonialism and white supremacy’.

If this is in reference to Schliemann, then you’re looking at 'early archaeologists making a fucking hash of it’. No, they were not careful, and no they were not respectful. He wanted to get down the layers faster, so he blew it up with dynamite. Spectacularly stupid thing to do, but archaeological practices weren’t even standardised so no one was going to tell him 'erm hey that’s bad practice don’t do that’ because really 'looking after historic sites from the past’ is a relatively new thing. People didn’t care. The crumbling old building on the hill was the crumbling old building on the hill, and belonged to a different time. Troy was not destroyed for shits and giggles. It was really a case of shitty archaeological practice, the sort of which we come across so many times because these people weren’t really archaeologists. They were just rich men with a hobby for looking for old stuff, and therefore they just set about doing it whatever way they pleased. No one is saying it’s right. In fact, it’s been a very long held practice to criticise people who functioned like this, hence the meme.

Medical consumption of Egyptian mummies had by and large stopped by the early 18th Century (1700s), most popular in the 16th Century (1500s), as they’d long since moved on to no longer bothering with ‘mummified’ remains and simply used any remains. The practice of using mummies in medicine was because the process of mummification used bitumen, known as mumiya in Arabic from which we get the name ‘mummy’, was said to have healing properties, as touted by Dioscorides. Nevertheless it was not a widespread practice, as most people seem to believe, and by and large the ‘mummies’ consumed were fakes. As with every trade of ‘unusual and rare items’, most sellers were peddling fakes on their shelves to unsuspecting customers. This led to the practice of grave robbing from fresh graves of Europeans in order to supply the demand or just using animals like camels or cats. Indeed, Guy de la Fontaine, a doctor to the king of Navarre, on a visit to Egypt in 1564 asked an Alexandrian merchant about ancient embalming and burial practices. The merchant laughed and said he had made the mummies he was selling.  Europeans were mostly, unknowingly, cannibalising themselves….and fake mummies made from camels. The reason they stopped? Well, this was largely due to the fact that medicine changed, and preferred to use fresh corpses. Corpses used in medicine is not new, and is a worldwide thing, it just seems strange to us now because we synthesise our own medicine based on current scientific thinking. The current scientific thinking back then said ‘human remains are great’ and had large connections to Transubstantiation in Christian beliefs. I think there’s a disconnect for us at this time because it’s so obviously the wrong thing to do that we baulk at the very idea of it. The thing to do here is remove the moral judgement (we all know it’s wrong) and look at the reasons the practice happened in the first place. There are a lot of odd, yet logical, conclusions for why they did what they did in terms of medicine. Was it good? Hell no. Is it understandable? Yes, in a bizarre way. History is all about humans having done the things they do, and trying to find the reasons why they did it.

In Egypt, many of the 'peddlers’ were Egyptian themselves, as they built houses over known tomb sites to dig into their own basements, get the mummies and other artefacts, and then sell them to Europeans. Qurna area is the worst for it. The amount of artefacts for which the only provenance we have is 'bought from an Egyptian seller in Luxor’ is ridiculous. They just sold the stuff because the 'rich white people wanted it’ and it made them some money. The disrespect of culture and history goes both ways, and is indeed extremely complicated.

I’ve no idea how old you or your grandparents are, but if people are taking mummies and eating them and it’s after 1970 then that’s just black market trade and 'rich people wanting shit’, which I cannot say is purely European in nature. People will do this because they want the cool thing, and they will pay big money for it.

[somecunttookmyurl]

whilst i am always and forever just begging doctors to properly check interactions before they prescibe things (@ pharmacists: fuck everyone else i respect you i love you xoxo)

i am in fact also begging everyone to read the leaflets you get with your medication. if you have difficulty reading or understanding those leaflets that's fine just like... ask the pharmacist. never met one who wasn't happy to explain drugs.

but like...

"SSRIs make you less tolerant of heat" should not be a shock - it's in the leaflet. they make you sweat, give you hot flashes, and make your skin more sensitive to the sun. that's all in there.

"mixing alcohol and benzos is a Bad Time" is not a shock. it's in the leaflet to avoid alcohol.

"my ADHD meds made me not want to eat" is not a shock. it's in the leaflet that they cause appetite suppression and weight loss.

you do not have to "find out the hard way" you really don't.


and bc doctors are fuckin useless at bothering to actually read and/or understand and/or explain interactions like... ever, apparently? there are plenty of places you can check for yourself or, again, just ask the pharmacist if there's anything to watch out for.

i mean asking a pharmacist about interactions is basially asking them to infodump about their hyperfixation. you're asking someone who thinks drugs are really cool to talk about drugs they are not going to be upset about this.

[somecunttookmyurl]

oh hey my grandma was a nurse too!

the amount of people who don't read them and then later are like "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS"

*pinches nose bridge* they did. it was in the leaflet.

[theplaguebeast]

And if you lose the leaflet, or can't read the print, or whatever, DRUGS.COM

It's got, like, every medication ever, with pictures and everything, and all the side effects, AND a really handy interactions checker.

[somecunttookmyurl]

love drugs.com for that. only site that has the full full list of side effects (go to the 'for professionals' section) and their interaction checker is great as well bc it does also include supplements and recreational drugs in the database.

i personally prefer the go.drugbank.com checker but only because i'm a supermassive nerd and gives you all the technical mechanisms behind the interaction. plus you can go full nerd and look at the complete pharmacology of anything. which is probably only parsable by, like, 5 people who follow me but it is really cool though

anyway if, unlike me, you're a normal person drugs.com is absolutely your best friend outside of an actual pharmacist

[vaspider]

Cannot stress enough how important this is. I'm allergic to an antibiotic & was once given another medication that was not that medication but was contraindicated for ppl with that allergy. My allergy info is up to date with my pharmacy... but their computer missed that, or they didn't check. (My doctor DEFINITELY didn't.)

That kind of mistake can kill a person. Always check.

[bisexualbaker]

[Image: Tags reading, "My grandma was a nurse and always read the pamphlets for any medicine. Even medicine we'd taken before. And now the habit is so ingrained I'm kinda surprised not everyone does it." End ID.]

[naamahdarling]

I have seen doctors talking shit about people who read the leaflets. Even Sidnee McElroy, who I completely respect, kind of snorted about people who read the INFORMATIVE LITERATURE and then get concerned about the rare, weird side effects. I got mad on Twitter about it in comments to the direct to consumer drug advertising episode (otherwise good) because she's usually better than that. You can't say you want patients who are engaged and then look down on them for taking advantage of the FREE, ACCURATE INFORMATION that comes with your meds.

Educate yourself, and always double or triple check the work of any doctor who even blinks funny when you ask questions or mention reading you've done.

Pharmacists are great. Loads of love for y'all.

[jabberwockypie]

I feel like the original post is shaming people for not knowing something, in a way I really don’t like.

A lot of people are never taught to read the medication information, and a lot of people are actively discouraged from advocating for themselves - especially in a medical setting, and REALLY, SERIOUSLY in a mental health setting.

Particularly as an adolescent on psych meds, I was actively discouraged from reading the literature and asking about side effects because “The only one you need to be concerned about is the increased suicidal ideation part. Definitely tell someone if that happens, otherwise don’t worry about it”. (This was 1000% Not True.)

Now, do I read it NOW? Well, yeah, but I’m in my 30s and I’ve had more than 20 years of experience being fucked over by the medical and mental health systems. Most people HOPEFULLY don’t have that.

Even then, suicidal ideation wasn’t listed in the pamphlet for the blood pressure med I tried last summer - it was an unusual interaction, and I had to go online to find that, and my doctor was pretty freaked out about it. (It was fine, because I know to be vigilant about starting new medications. Sometimes bodies are weird. I also get the opposite reaction when I’ve tried ADHD meds - stimulants make me want to eat EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE.)

On the one hand, yes, it’s in the leaflet that you shouldn’t drink while taking benzodiazapines, and there’s probably a sticker on the bottle too.

On the other hand, it also says that with ibuprofen and virtually every antidepressant I’ve ever been on. (The big risk with NSAIDs is that it increases the risk of a bleeding stomach ulcer, but it’s more of a “most people will probably be okay if they don’t do it frequently” situation. It’s generally not GREAT to drink when you’re dealing with mental health stuff REGARDLESS, but for some psych meds the big issue is a risk of “increased drowsiness”. In contrast, mixing tylenol and alcohol can seriously damage your liver. Mixing alcohol with benzodiazapines can SUPER kill you.)

There’s not a lot of nuance or degree there, and I think some people - younger people, especially - are used to authority figures/older adults harping on the “Don’t drink and don’t use illicit drugs” thing, so they may not realize no, really, there may be an ACTUAL REASON THAT CAN KILL YOU that medication may say not to use alcohol while you’re taking them.

So yeah, if you didn’t know before, now you do. Read the leaflets that come with your medication, ask your pharmacist if there’s anything in particular to look out for, and pay attention to how you’re feeling - good and bad - when you start a new medication, and how that changes.

[thebibliosphere]

Hell, I've had doctors discourage me from reading the leaflets because “it’ll only make you anxious.”

And like like I KNOW that’s bullshit advice. Thirty years of medical negligence, abuse and weird drug interaction fuckery have primed me to be aware of how awful that advice is. But if you're not someone who deals with chronic or long term problems that require regular advocacy, if the authority figure who you're trusting to take care of you is telling you to dismiss the literature then yea, I can kinda see how people aren't aware of these things. They're being conditioned to be “good patients” by bad doctors. And in my experience, it’s depressingly common.

So yeah, read the literature that comes with your meds, either on the leaflet that comes with it or by looking it up on Drugs.com. And if you've got questions or concerns, 100% ask the pharmacist or call your clinic; they'll usually put you through to a nurse or physician’s assistant to talk to. You're not bothering them or being bad; this is part of their job.

[jillybeanjoy]

Insert that one meme with the guy who says “you guys are getting paid?” only it says “YOU GUYS ARE GETTING LEAFLETS?”

I have been on one medication or another ever since I was a toddler. I have NEVER received a leaflet about my medication.

[somecunttookmyurl]

where the fuck do you people live that you're not being given this info. my EU, US, canadian, and australian friends all are. whether it's stapled to the bag, inside the bag, a fold-out label on the bottle, or inside the box. they all get them. and i KNOW the US produces them (besides my US friends all getting them) bc i can find them online as PDFs

do WHERE are you that you're not being given the information that is required for you to give INFORMED CONSENT to taking those drugs

i'm serious. not giving you that info voluntarily removes your ability to give informed consent about your medical treatment and you should be raising absolute hell about that

[rudjedet]

Before I started taking roaccutane, they actually sat my ass down, shoved a bundle of papers in front of me that listed the possible side effects and risks that came with it (which is low key funny because roaccutane is essentially a vitamin A overdose. Sounds mild, right? Wrong - look up what happened to the polar expedition that got lost and started eating their sled dogs to survive. They very much did not survive because dog meat is too rich in vit A and the effects are uh. Quite horrible. Incidentally this is also why you should never EVER eat a bear’s liver if you’re in a position where you have to eat bear meat to survive), and made me read through it all then sign a contract that I had read and understood all of it before they even prescribed me the first dose. (This isn’t the usual case, but roaccutane is particularly nasty.)

This was in the hospital by the way, not just some private clinic covering their ass. That is informed consent. Over here in the Netherlands you actually get an additional brochure with your medications when they’re prescribed for the first time, and the pharmacist will give you a mandatory rundown of what is in the leaflet before you can leave the premises with it. The only thing I dislike about that is that you have to pay out of pocket for it, but on the other hand it’s usually between 6 or 13 euros or so so it’s doable.

I have a lot of bad things to say about the medical profession from my own experiences, but at least as far as informed consent goes, we’re doing pretty alright it seems. Hell, even when I was on a time crunch for my epidural (I was on the cusp of being too far dilated to even get it), the doctor took the time to list all the possible risks (with laminated info sheet lmao) before I was wheeled out towards the anesthesiologist. The fact that so many of you are wilfully being kept in the dark or actively discouraged to educate yourself is bizarre and terrifying.

Please read the leaflets, or if you can’t read them because yeah the writing is usually fucking tiny, use drugs.com or your country’s equivalent or Google it or do literally anything other than nothing.

You don't realize how many artists have same face syndrome until you try to find an artist who can portray ethnic features. Many of them either lack the skill or the motivation, or maybe the motivation to develop the skill. But sorry I don't want you giving my Black OC a pointy little nose and that same mouth you drew on that white girl over there.

Next time you find an artist you want to commission, look and see if they have any Black or brown people in their portfolio, and as you search, maybe fruitlessly, all the faces begin to look exactly alike and it starts to feel like you're looking at someone's incredibly well executed dollmaker.

People who can draw a wider range of features than just "generic white fantasy girl #9" are stronger artists and more worthy of your cash. (Unless the same face Pixar thing is what you're going for, then by all means, proceed with mediocrity.) And I don't mean "draws the same face and gives it dark skin and curly hair" I'm talking big noses, wide noses, flat noses. Monolids and thick lips and textured hair and PEOPLE WHO'S UNDERTONE IS NOT PINK FOR GOD'S SAKE WOULD YOU STOP MAKING PEOPLE PINK?

Anyway, find quality artists by looking for faces of color.

[nerdlingwrites]

Oh and body shape/sizes other than "impossibly slender elf girl" or "tiddies out anime girl"!

[crowsister]

Some folks are saying use NatGeo as a reference which, um...well, OP's got a reblog specifically about why that is a bad idea that I won't paraphrase or do any horseshit with because her words matter more than mine.

To sort of shoot that strawman argument of "well, if I can't have that, then what else is there? You never provided me that!", I'm going to speak up with a better suggestion for folks who sincerely want to improve: Unsplash is right there. They have a whole section dedicated to people photos, submitted by their userbase for free use: (x)

Here are some fun ones, just from a quick skim right now:

Like this is just a skim! Folks, we can do better and not use racist resources. Sure, Unsplash is limited by what users submit, but at least by that virtue, there's so much more there on Unsplash to practice with as an artist for diversifying your face shapes and body styles. And, again, all of these are free to use, so they're willing models.

[nerdlingwrites]

I appreciate this addition because you did the work to find a quality source of pictures from models of color who are every day people. They also VOLUNTEERED to have their pictures used for free by artists as reference. That gives them agency, it makes it a oit communication and not colonization.

I don't want people to never make an addition to my posts, it's just way too often people blunder along without any care for the core subject - which is racism, not a simple criticism of technique. This shows an understanding of the underlying issue and then says to other white people "hey look you can stop being racist AND not be racist at the same time!"

Anyway, sorry if that didn't make sense, I'm hopped up on anti anxiety meds after the incident with the dog at the park.

Anonymous asked:

Are there other onomatopoeic animals in Ancient Egyptian? It’s kinda reminding me of the post where an Egyptian looked at a cat, asked if what it was, and took the meow as the answer.

rudjedet answered:

There are! But I’m going to field this one fully to @ikchen, who did her MA thesis on exactly this subject, so she can go wild with it, and I’ll reblog her answer back here.

[ikchen]

*breathes in*

Aaaahhh

Well, here we go: As you already mentioned, mjw (~meeoo) is one of the most well known onomatopoetic words in the Egyptian languages, mostly because it really really sounds like meow.
Let’s stay with mammals for a moment, and go to the word jwjw (~juju), which denotes a kind of dog. Clearly this imitates the how or whimper of a dog, going awoooo, and interestingly it was, in later times, also used for the wailing of people. So people see dog go awoo, say oh his name is awoo, people go awoo too. People also saw doggo go “woof woof” and went “hm, this animal goes wHwH (~wehweh), let’s use that word to denote barking.”
Another mammal would be the shrew, which was called amam.w (~amamu) in Late Egyptian. Etymologically this word can be traced back to a word for “eating, devouring” because shrews eat multiple times their own weight in a day. Now that word for eating? Probably the same sound as omnomnom :D So, I’d also call this an onomatopoeion.
Next up is pigs, one of the words for those is rr.j (~rerri). Sounds... weird? Not necessarily pig-ish? It’s definitely the noise pigs make, though, or at least what the Egyptians thought pigs say. Like, the snorting sound they make. Not sure if that’s the same onomatopoeia as oink?
Finally we have the word kyky (~kiki) which is a kind of monkey. Very surprisingly, we can look to Japanese for a similar word. Here, キーキー kīkī denotes the calls of a monkey! So if two language use the same word, and the languages are like hella not related, the word is proooobably onomatopoetic?

Next up: Birds! First we have zwrw.t (~zurut) which is the name of some so far unidentified bird. The same word, however, is used in Aramaeic - zarzīrā ‘Starling’, and in Arabic zurzur- ‘Starling’. We do know that it’s not the word for starling in Egyptian, but it might be a loan word, which used to denote the noises starlings make, which was then used for a different bird in Egypt.
A second bird worth mentioning would be the qq-Bird (ququ). Can you guess what bird it is? (I’ll tell you, it’s the cockoo. Duh.) So, uh, yeah, same word, right? Onomatopoeia for the win!
Next up: Ducks. Or rather, the gbb-duck (~gebeb) (might also be a goose). The Hausa language has the word agwāgwa which means duck, and is derived from the noises a duck makes. The two words are similar enough to be considered vaguely related, so gbb is probably also onomatopoetic for duck noises. Quack quack.
Some ducks and geese and also falcons (???why???) make a certain sound in Egyptian, namely ngg (~negeg), ng (neg) or gAgA (~gaga). These aren’t animals per se, but I figured I’d mention these words, because @somecunttookmyurl​ used ngg / ng in her untitled goose game shitpost :D Goose go ng / honk! Duck go... quack?
On a last bird related note, there’s the sparrow, which goes TT (~tshitshi) in Egyptian, and ϫⲟⲩϫⲟⲩ in Coptic. Modern sparrows go twit twit, right? Sounds pretty similar, right?

(There’s technically also DnDn (~djendjen) which is a big bird, possibly a swan, and is supposed to be related to the noises a cymble makes. So. Swans make cyble noises? Cymble make swan noises? This is very unclear).

Onwards to amphibians: The frog! Egyptian has multiple words for frogs, one is pgg.t (~pegeget). Now there are two main theories for this word, one says it’s actually derived from the root g / the word wgj, which means to chew, and it would just denote that frogs chew weirdly. The other one, which also gives similar words in other Semitic languages, says hey this word is hella onomatopoetic. Like. That’s what froggo says, right? Ribbit ribbit?
Another word for frogs is qrr (~kerer). Conveniently, Japanese, again, has the word 蛙 kaeru meaning frog! What a coincidence! And then they also have ケロケロ kerokero meaning “croak croak!”. Like. Whoa! Definitely an onomatopoeion!

If you, by any chance, happen to know German, I’m happy to share my thesis with you. Same with sources, if anyone is interested, they’re partially in German though. The best source I had were the 3 books of G. Takács’ Etymological Dictionary of Egyptian.
