Washington DC - NMNH: Inner coffin of Tentkhonsu التي كتبها wallyg

Inner coffin of Tentkhonsu, 1025-980 B.C., part of a set that included an outer coffin and a board to protect the mummy, was one of 153 burials from Bab el-Gasus, a tomb chamber in Deir el-Bahari where Egyptians moved the coffins and mummies of elite 21st-dynasty families. The lid presents an idealized portrait of Tentkhonsu. Tentkhonsu's mummy has never been identified. Tentkhonsu means "She who belongs to the god Khonsu" - a name that shows she came from an elite Theban family that staffed the city's temples. She sang at festivals, and, like most Egyptian women, probably married by 14 and ran a household. If she reached age 40, she would have outlived many of her contemporaries. Tentkhonsu's coffin was designed to guide her past the dangers of the Netherworld. The coffin interior tells the story of Tentkhonsu's spiritual passage from the Netherworld to rebirth. The scenes on the coffin exterior wrap around Tentkhonsu, providing knowledge and protection for the journey ahead. The coffin's exterior paintings shield the mummy with magic spells and scenes of her journey to rebirth. For more than 3,000 years, ancient Egyptians embalmed, preserved and entombed their dead with materials they would need for life in the next world. Offerings to the gods to help ease the deceased person’s passage were often included in tombs. The Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt exhibition includes human and 16 animal mummies, as well as pottery vessels, jewelry, tools, and other artifacts excavated from Egyptian tombs. The National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established in 1910 as the United States National Museum. The building, designed in the neoclassical architectural style by Hornblower & Marshall, was the first constructed on the north side of the National Mall, along Constitution Avenue, as part of the 1901 McMillan Commission plan. The museum's collections total over 500 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, and human cultural artifacts. With 7.1 million visitors in 2016, it is the most visited of all of the Smithsonian museums and is also home to about 185 professional natural history scientists â the largest group of scientists dedicated to the study of natural and cultural history in the world. The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.
