Eternal Salvation   in Hieroglyphics Janet Kuypers 11/4/19, On King Tut Day, the day his tomb was discovered in 1922 In their desire to live forever, their ancient Egyptian tombs were precisely decorated with instructions to battle obstacles after shedding their mortal coil before they’d have eternal life. Gemstone amulets protected their mummified corpses — unless raiders came to rob their tombs and destroy eternal salvation. So it is a miracle when more than pottery shards are found thousands of years later. Because... all humankind has their beliefs, their traditions to protect them from what they don’t understand. So one King, in one un-looted tomb found only one hundred years ago — reveals so much; about their culture, about future cultures, and even our own culture. For it shows us how we cope with fears, but also how we fight them, so we can then think we can have what we could never attain.
