CAIRO -- Archaeologists have unearthed a 3,500-year-old door to the afterlife from the tomb of a high-ranking Egyptian official near Karnak temple in Luxor, the Egyptian antiquities authority said Monday.

These recessed niches found in nearly all ancient Egyptian tombs were meant to take the spirits of the dead to and from the afterworld. The nearly six-foot- tall slab of pink granite was covered with religious texts.

I find it interesting that women ruled this region before Muslems took over.

Is it surrounded by a round disk with chevrons all the way around it and a ramp leading up to it?

The nearly six-foot- tall slab of pink granite was covered with religious texts.

So how exactly does a dead guy open a granite door? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ve been to the temple of karnack at Luxor. Amazing!

Contrary to the Feminist movement devotees, women have held high positions of power in every era and epoch.

"The door came from the tomb of User"

They found the door from the tomb of "Newbie", but it was all wrong and stupid.

I have been reading the “5000 Year Leap”. I believe that everyone should read this book so that they can gain the knowledge about the constitution and Why the founders used the language they used to put that document together.
So please if you have not read this book please do. If you have read the book get as many people as possible to read it.

A-w-w-w, go easy on em’ DannyTN! (I’m giggling, though...you made me laugh)

this one ruled as a he-she. She was a “man” baby, at least she dressed and acted like one. She was a King, not a Queen

And then she went and forgot to close the door to hell-
D’OH!

Who you gonna call?

Where are the 72 virgins that are supposed to be waiting on the other side?

[magslinger]

Like this?

Probably not.

So where do you think Nancy Pelosi will want her pyramid constructed at tax payers’ expense?

[cajuncow]

At this moment, I am so glad that I am not a man having to face THAT as a reward on the other side.

I like the version of this they used in Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972).

Is it supposed to tip forward and fall on you?

Much to the detriment of mankind.
