Iirc the Pharaohs falsely claimed having built the things.

It would be hilarious to have one of those carved on a big stone in hieroglyphs, and bury it somewhere in Egypt.

I’m a little confused- shabti…ushabti….shawabti…

I remember the shawabti figures from the King Tut exhibit back in the 70s, what is the difference in names, the time periods?

She must have been a combination of Sydney Sweeney and Scarlett Johannson.

Cleopatra, when sex was still new to her,
Kept buying young slaves to tutor her.
But the Pharaoh (her Dad)
Afraid she’d go bad
Kept rendering them neuterer and neuterer.
heh
Make history come alive, heh heh I am the great Cornholio!

"The Shoshenq Redemption"

Makes plain sense.

After all,

how often do you look at a man's shoshë?

😇

However, why Shoshenq IV might have reused the tomb of Shoshenq III and moved him to the tomb of Osorkon II is unclear.

I am going to guess, Daddy Issues.

Having a set of ushabtis in someone else’s tomb shouldn’t be a surprise for this tomb complex. Consider what was buried with Psusennes I. SunkenCiv will remember this was mentioned in Dr. Verlikovsky’s “Peoples of the Sea”:

Psusennes’ silver coffin was in a granite sarcophagus belonging to the XIX dynasty’s Merneptah, while another sarcophagus came from a Middle Kingdom tomb; each of the canopic jars had somebody else’s name on it. Finally, David Rohl suggested that a lapis lazuli necklace on Psusennes was originally a gift from the Assyrians to Amenhotep III. It seems none of these kings believed in using a new tomb item, if an old tomb item could be reused.

It is pretty difficult to pretend that a pseudoscience is a real science. It must be exhausting for you.
