The scene showing metal workers is part of a wall depicting different professions in the tomb of Rekhmire', vizier of Tuthmosis III and Amenophis II. Above, the fires are kept ablaze with foot-operated bellows; below, the men are casting bronze doors in a large mould. The inscription states that the bronze is brought from Asia, from the land of Retjenu. Atlas of Egyptian art. Page 119

Archaeologists in Egypt recently found a tomb that predates most others in the area by 2000 years. Inside they found a “false door”, a passage to the underworld.

They need to bring back Kai's overprotective big brother vibes and his undying hatred, attack-on-sight for Garmadon
I have not yet finished Ninjago because the streaming services I have keep messing up the season/episode order, but I agree! Don't know who Garmadon is, but I agree!

The good name
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As this has come up occasionally - what were Egyptian names like, what were Egyptians called... I've just looked through pictures I took at museums and noticed that I do have a few nice examples where peoples "good names" are given.
The first is a stela from Akhmim, dating to the Old Kingdom, which shows a man called wsr-mjn (Usermin) in front of an offering table (left side). His name is given in the upper line with the offering formula and then again with his title Hm-nTr (priest) in the middle column. In front of him there's another name: His rn-nfr, his good name - which was Wedja. This would have possibly been a name he would have been called in life, similar to a nickname. The stela is now in the Scottish National Museum but unfortunately their display does not offer an accession number.
The second piece was once part of a limestone false door and dates from the Old Kingdom as well, this time coming from Dendera. The man shown on the left is called ppj-mn-anX (Pepi-Men-Ankh) which is given in the last column of the text. You can clearly see that the name is basilophorous, i.e. it incorporated the king's name, because that part is framed with a cartouche. Underneath that name, again, there's his rn-nfr: Mnj (Meni). The fragment is now in the Manchester Museum and has the number 3503.

Genshin Impact: mysterious door of Hangeh Afrasiyab.
With the release of 3.6 version, during the quest Khvarena of Good and Evil, in the depths of Gate of Zulqarnain players can find the location called Hangeh Afrasiyab. I've seen other lore enthusiasts speculate about the name taken from Hang-e Afrāsiāb or Hang-eafrāsiāb — "the cave in which Afrāsiāb, the fugitive king of Turān, spent his last days".
I'm not going to talk about the Afrāsiāb, for anyone interested I already placed link(s) in the text. My focus is the enormous gate we see there.
Tumblr media
If you say it's an entrance or at least is related to Khaenri'ah, you're probably right. The emblem (adornment?) on it, a star, and its colors, remind me of Enjou, the envoy serving under Abyss Prince(ss):
Tumblr media
Although my photo is cropped with letterbox, the star is obviously eight-pointed. Because Genshin Impact is heavily impacted (pun intended) by Gnosticism, I must mention the Ogdoad.
In the early days of Gnostic teachings, Ogdoad was a supercelestial region above the seven heavens — and with the better understanding of astronomy — the sphere of the fixed stars. With the introduction of system developed by the theological Valentinus, the seven heavens with the region above them were regarded as the lowest stage of exercise of creative power. Above them was Pleroma, where were exhibited the first manifestations of the evolution of subordinate existence from the great First Principle.
What am I getting at, you ask? I suspect, in accordance to system of Valentinus, Khaenri'ah is the region above seven heavens, while Celestia is Pleroma. Literal underground location has little importance, as Gnostics seem to be allergic to metaphors matching with facts.
No, seriously, trust me on this, when I say you don't want to think too much about relevance and accuracy while analyzing work of Gnostics. Otherwise your brain will melt.
For a nation known for hatred towards Celestia's regime, Khaenri'ahs, including current Abyss Order, sure love including it in their heritage.
Knowing Hangeh Afrasiyab is located in Sumeru, which is based on Middle East, the interpretation of Ogdoad by Ancient Egyptians piqued my interest. Those people saw Ogdoad as a group of eight gods, worshiped in Hermopolis, taking an appearance of snakes (feminine) and frogs or monkeys (masculine), divided into four pairs/couples (BTW, number four is associated with death in Chinese culture and we're talking about Chinese game):
Nun & Naunet — gods of primeval waters;
Kuk & Kauket — gods of darkness;
Huh & Hauhet — gods of infinity/eternity (life's loops, anyone?);
Tenemu & Tenemut — gods of invisibility.
Fun fact: if you try to search up the fourth couple, plenty of academic and religious analysis on Gnosticism pop up. The invisibility is ought to be meant as protection, as far as I understand (spoiler: I don't).
Fits the dynamic between Khaneri'ah and Celestia, doesn't it? That's because, in my honest opinion, it is but another overshadowing, less and less subtle as story progresses, and the main story line shall be eventually easy to predict if you're truly (like, really truly) familiar with Gnosticism.
Most people are not, myself included, and now I wish I had a degree in philosophy instead of administration.
On r/Genshin_Lore someone pointed out that further description of an achievement Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here is a quote engraved above the doors of Hell in Dante Alighieri's Inferno.
Therefore, for the end of my speculations, I am leaving beneath the excerpt of Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake. It's an 18th century book imitating biblical prophecy. No matter what Christians say about Gnosticism and how many Catholics refer to everything they dislike as Gnostic while they mean heresy, these two beliefs wouldn't exist without each other. Same goes to whatever is going on for Khaenri'ah (Abyss Order) and Celestia, as I already mentioned.
Ad astra abyssosque!
THE ARGUMENT
Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air, Hungry clouds swag on the deep.
Once meek, and in a perilous path The just man kept his course along The Vale of Death. Roses are planted where thorns grow, And on the barren heath Sing the honey bees.
Then the perilous path was planted, And a river and a spring On every cliff and tomb; And on the bleached bones Red clay brought forth: Till the villain left the paths of ease To walk in perilous paths, and drive The just man into barren climes.
Now the sneaking serpent walks In mild humility; And the just man rages in the wilds Where lions roam.
Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air, Hungry clouds swag on the deep.
As a new heaven is begun, and it is now thirty-three years since its advent, the Eternal Hell revives. And lo! Swedenborg is the angel sitting at the tomb: his writings are the linen clothes folded up. Now is the dominion of Edom, and the return of Adam into Paradise. - See Isaiah xxxiv. and xxxv. chap. Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence. From these contraries spring what the religious call Good and Evil. Good is the passive that obeys reason; Evil is the active springing from Energy. Good is heaven. Evil is hell.

Egyptian had three words written "sbꜣ".
One was pronounced síbaʀ and meant Star/Meteor (𓋴𓃀𓄿𓇼𓇳).
The other was sabíʀ and meant Door/Gateway (𓋴𓃀𓇼𓄿𓉐).
One was pronounced sábaʀ and meant "to teach" (𓋴𓃀𓇼𓀜).
𓋴 is s, 𓃀 is b, 𓄿 is ꜣ (ʀ).
𓇼 is star, 𓇳 is sun, 𓉐 is house.
Note also how they use 𓇼 in the other words to reinforce that "they're pronounced like star".
They became quite different in Coptic:
Star = ⲥⲓⲟⲩ (siu)
Door = ⲥⲃⲉ (sbe)
Teach = ⲥⲃⲱ (sbô)

CRUNCHYROLL: ANNUNCIATI I SIMULCAST DI ALTRE 8 SERIE INVERNALI
Non che sia una grande sorpresa, ma si preannuncia una stagione più ricca del cenone di Capodanno! (E non so voi, ma io non ho mangiato affatto leggero)
Tumblr media
Ve lo avevo detto che ne avevano in canna altre, no? Il meme del "è tutto su Crunchyroll" è più veritiero che mai, considerato che solo questo inverno ci ritroviamo con più di 50 nuovi anime tutti all'interno del palinsesto della piattaforma statunitense.
Il problema, però, è che a dirla tutta non è vero che è effettivamente tutto lì, ci sono serie sparse anche altrove! Ci vorrebbero due vite per seguirle un po' tutte e forse non sarebbero abbastanza @_@
Anyway, qua sotto trovate le 8 annunciate proprio questa sera, più un breve (si fa per dire) resoconto di tutto il resto.
