Dice Gambling Legend Magic Mummies Ramses Rise Sarcophagi Thoth Dicing Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to ancient Egypt with this print titled "Mummies Dicing." The image depicts a scene from the legend of Prince Setna, where the mummies of Setna, son of Ramses II, and Ptahneferka, son of Mernebptah, rise from their sarcophagi to dice for the magic book of Thoth.
The atmosphere is tense as the two mummies engage in a high-stakes game of chance. With centuries-old grudges and desires driving them, they roll the dice in hopes of claiming the powerful artifact for themselves. The intricate details on their bandaged bodies and ornate sarcophagi transport viewers to a time when gods walked among mortals and magic was an everyday occurrence.
This historical piece not only showcases the rich mythology and religious beliefs of ancient Egypt but also highlights themes of greed, power, and fate. As spectators to this supernatural gambling match, we are reminded that even in death, these legendary figures continue to influence our understanding of history and myth.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again captured a moment frozen in time with this mesmerizing print. Let yourself be transported to a world where legends come alive and mysteries unfold before your eyes.
