This first image \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd71\ud80c\udfcf is a closeup of the wall to the right of the False Door, which shows a butchering \ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4 scene. Meat \ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udd39 was one of the most important offerings \ud80c\udca0\ud80c\udfcd that could be given to the deceased \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udff1 which is why this type of scene would be included in a tomb chapel \ud80c\udc3b\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\ude50.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you can probably tell that the people in this image \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd71\ud80c\udfcf are butchering \ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\udf2a cattle \ud80c\udcd2\ud80c\udfe6, in case you did not know, the ancient Egyptians put it in the hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the image \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd71\ud80c\udfcf, you can see the word \u201c\ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4\u201d which means \u201cto slaughter\u201d or \u201cto butcher.\u201d This word can also be written as \u201c\ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\udf2a\u201d which is the same word but with the determinative at the end! I prefer it when the words have determinatives because it makes everything easier to read! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you look closely, the \ud80c\udef4 symbol is actually carved backwards which confused me at first because if you read the word the opposite way, it becomes \u201c\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\u201d which translates as \u201cto know\/to learn\u201d which does not make sense in the context of the scene! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here are some new vocabulary words for you:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4 to slaughter\/to butcher<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d to know\/to learn<\/p>\n\n\n\n This second image \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd71\ud80c\udfcf is also a closeup of the wall to the right of the False Door, which also shows a butchering \ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4 scene. Meat \ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udd39 was one of the most important offerings \ud80c\udca0\ud80c\udfcd that could be given to the deceased \ud80c\udd53\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udff1!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you can probably tell that the people in this image \ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd71\ud80c\udfcf are butchering \ud80c\udc8b\ud80d\udc0d\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\udf2a cattle \ud80c\udcd2\ud80c\udfe6, in case you did not know, the ancient Egyptians put it in the hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea! I love these ancient Egyptian \u201ccaptions\u201d because there aren\u2019t a lot of hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea so it\u2019s not too overwhelming to translate if you\u2019re just starting out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s read some hieroglyphs \ud80c\udeb9\ud80c\udf03\ud80c\udfea! Here is a breakdown of the inscription \ud80c\udeae\ud80c\uddcb\ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udd39: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud80c\udeae – to cook\/to bake<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud80c\uddcb\ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udfcf – bone marrow<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud80c\udd91\ud80c\udd39 – meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tomb chapel \ud80c\udc3b\ud80c\udef4\ud80c\ude50 is on display at the MET and is absolutely beautiful to go in and explore! Here\u2019s a tip for your next visit: it is kind of hidden and located directly across from the Blue Faience Tiles from Saqqara and it\u2019s not very crowded so you can really enjoy it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is my personal photograph and original text.

The West \ud80c\udec0\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\ude0a is significant in ancient Egypt because the West \ud80c\udec0\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\udfcf\ud80c\ude0a is the realm of the dead.
