This just in...his name turned up on the Illinois voter rolls....twice.

LOL.

And once more in Ohio, just in case.

He tried to vote in Texas but they turned him away because he just didn’t look like himself anymore.

“Badly plundered by ancient tomb robbers, the tomb of Senebkay is modest in scale.”
And so today it's being plundered by archaeologists.

I’ll be damned, I remember him, he hasn’t changed much.. Nicknamed; “Woser of Two Evils”.. He was a short, skinny guy, a quiet fellow, with no sense of humor, nobody particularly liked him..

E's not deceased......just pining for the fjords....

[spokeshave]

.....just taking a nap on his way to the fjords.

He’s on the 12th hole at the Fjords Country Club right now.

Update to this story from last summer:

The Luxor Times reports that an examination of the skeletal remains of Senebkay, discovered in Abydos last year by Josef Wegner and a team from the University of Pennsylvania, recorded 18 injuries to his bones, including vertical cuts to his feet, ankles, and lower back. It is thought that the king, whose family ruled from 1650 to 1600 B.C., died in battle between the ages of 35 and 49. The wounds to his ankles and feet suggest that he was on horseback when he was attacked from below at close range, and then knocked to the ground and killed with ax wounds to his cranium. The researchers also say that he was mummified long after death, suggesting that he was killed far away from home, perhaps in battle with the Hyksos, who occupied Lower Egypt at the time.

One of *those* topics.

I believe you’ve posted the only known photo of “Pharaoh Petty Ameri-ankh I” son of Frank-o-tep Dav-i-set, and the pharaoh who oversaw the complete destruction of both Upper and Lower America.

3600 years ago? Sounds like he was trying to protect what was left of Egypt from the hordes of Amalekites. Arabs.
