I can vividly recall seeing Tut's funeral mask in person for the first time. First it is indescribably life like! Pictures don' t do it justice and if you want to know what Tut REALLY looked like, go see the mask in person and I believe you will know.

The other most striking thing is that all down the back of the shoulders are heiroglyphs. I suspect it's a prayer or something, but does anyone know for sure what is written there?

I'll look into it - I could probably do a very crude translation, but I'll give it a shot! ..That is, if I can find suitable pictures.

Hmm... All I can make out is something about power over the common man and something about the afterlife. This picture is a lot better of a source than the little 3d image I was trying to go off of before; still... I'm afraid my skills are quite minimal for now :(

I hope someone else can redeem my failure?

Wait- I'm sure I'll be able to find an image in one of the hefty tomes I have upstairs in my room. . . .hang on. . . .here we are! There's a nice clear picture of the reverse of the mask in 'Egypt- world of the Pharaohs'. I'll try to scan it in for you, and we can attempt a translation. I've been doing hieroglyphs for about a year now, but I think I've picked it up quite quickly . The passage begins in the upper right hand corner and most of it seems to relate to names of the Gods and parts of the body. It might be comparable to the section of the BOTD that follows the negative confessions in the Papyrus of Ani. Anyway- I'll try and scan in the picture, and attempt a crude translation.[/i]

Hi Psusennes I

Schoengesichtiger (nefer-her) = Beautiful of Face (the epithet of Ptah)
Abendbarke (Mesketet) = lunar barque (of the night)
Morgenbarke (Mandjit) = the barque of morning (solar barque)

You made a good translation, thank you :D

"Strahlenglanzes" means something like "shining ray". I think it's a reference to the sun.

So it starts out something like:

Greetings, Lord of the Shining Ray, beautiful of face
whom Ptah Sokar finished (created?) and Anubis raised.....

The translations looks a bit strange?
Is this supposed to be some part of the Book of the Dead or something?

:D I'm impressed...

And so it is part of the Book of the Dead. Interesting.

I must admit to it sounding very book-of-the-dead-esque. Well done Nebsy!
