How do spell "FABULOUSTH" in hyroglyphics?
To: SunkenCiv
It doesn't looked like they were portrayed joined together. I know that in Egyptian art, symbolism mattered more than reality (note how members of Akhenaten's court had portraits done of themselves looking like the unusual pharaoh), but with people as special as Siamese twins, don't you think the artist might make an exception?

The etiquette for stuff like that (in some circles) is to ask, "may I push in your stool for you?" ;')

I agree, although they could indeed be identical twins.

I always thought that was a poor name for a condom. We know Ramses II didn't use them, because he had a least a hundred kids. In fact, his father Seti I got him off to an early start, giving him several concubines while he was just a teenager and saying, "Okay, one of Pharaoh's jobs is to make sure he has an heir. Get to it!" By the time he inherited the crown, Ramses must have been saying, "It's good to be a king," like Mel Brooks in "History of the World Part I."
It's probably just as well that Ramses had a large family. In the end, he outlived the first eleven sons, and the twelfth didn't want the job, so the son that became the next pharaoh, Merneptah, was his thirteenth.
