"statue of a deity called Petah Sakar. Petah was the god of artisans, Hawass said, while Sakar was the god of the cemetery. "

So they worshipped the god of cementary art? Were these goths?

the god of cementary art

Cementary art would be gravestones made of concrete.

Well if you consider the pyramids, the fancy human shaped coffins, the beads. They did put a lot of effort into cemetary art.

Saw a city map once where the city cemetary was labeled 'City Cementary.'

Curiously, the archealogists were amazed that the 4,200 year old mummy bore an astonishing resemblance to Helen Thomas.

But I understand, much better preserved

One of the paintings on the wall of the tomb shows a young Helen Thomas making a sand castle.

LOL, man I am dense!!!

I almost responded back that I saw a movie where a man named his dog, "dog".

I was sitting here, thinking RightWhale's not his usual self, he's making boring comments about cemetaries being named cemetaries.

Sometimes you have to spell it out in concrete for me.
