Merit’s wig - Museo Egizio Collection
Inventory Number: S. 8499
New Kingdom, Pre Ramesside, Dynasty 18. 1425–1353 BCE. Reign: Amenhotep II / Tuthmosis IV / Amenhotep III
Location Information: Deir el Medina / tomb of Kha (TT8)
Description:
Another exceptional artifact that belonged to Merit is her wig, made with real locks of hair that were sewn together and braided. The hair is parted in the middle and curled into ringlets that end with braids on either side of the face and on the back of the neck. This type of hairdo was often decorated with flowers and diadems, which were very fashionable in the mid-18th dynasty, as can be seen in the paintings and statues of the period.

This is a video about people in Upper Egypt, in Nubia, who keep Nile crocodiles as pets. It's in Arabic, but the visuals are great.

Since we came to know Minervo and Konshu, they've always been telling us their homeland in our inner world is heavily influenced by Upper Egypt specifically, and not at all by Lower Egypt.
I never gave it much thought because I never had a single idea what this meant.
Right now I'm finding out all Hybrit deities correspond to Egyptian deities from Upper Egypt specifically.
How did they KNOW, all the way from that part of the inner world, never coming to front, what comes from Upper Egypt and what comes from Lower Egypt?
We don't know that! I don't have recollection or records of any research. How does our brain do that? How did it KNOW!?
"Ra is a Lower Egypt deity, we don't have that"
—okay, but Anubis is famous in the outer world as well, isn't him from Lower Egypt?
WRONG, he's from Upper Egypt, like Khonshu.

The strongest version of Isis (42, minor aspect h48) is that of Isis Venus!
Likewise, she is the strongest Venus of Egypt!
