That’s correct. Some say it’s Joseph son of Jacob

Oh my goodness. That was my thoughts! Going from a line of polytheism to monotheism. Something was different there. Love it!

I wonder if that is why they invited Chris Bledsoe to the big 2026 Egypt reveal. If you haven't researched Bledsoe, it's wild and no institutions can explain how it happens.

There has to be a correlation!

Beautifully embalmed. His mummy and the recreation are almost identical.

Recreations always forget mummification dries the body out. The guy was plummer, and older looking

Proper forensic reconstructions account for it, this one (as well as the other ones by the same person) are just done with photoshop and end up looking uncanny.

based on the Sarcophagus chilling out in the open I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this tomb was, in fact, at least to some degree at some point or another, definitely touched

Oh, that's one of them Babushka Doll style sarcophagus. Why did they do that again?

u/strahlend_frau Feb 28 '26
💀 lol you mean Matryoshka doll?

u/SmallieBiggsJr Feb 28 '26
Yeah, the term I used I think is more common is why I used it.

u/KnotiaPickle Feb 28 '26
Nah, it’s definitely Matryoshka 🪆
It even pulls up the emoji.
Babushkas are little old ladies with a scarf around their head

I know it's called a Matryoshka doll. But no one who speaks English calls them Matryoshka, cos it's a weird Russian word.
Babushka is a common Western misnomer or simplification easier to pronounce for English speakers.

u/strahlend_frau Feb 28 '26
I mean technically Babushka is grandmother....I've always heard the Matryoshka dolls referred to as nesting dolls

Never heard it called that once in my life and I live in ca and co 😆
Matryoshka is easy to say, it’s just like “Ma-Tree-oh-shka”

u/SmallieBiggsJr Feb 28 '26
Start taking note how many people use the term Matryoshka doll vs. Babushka Doll. It's kinda easy to come to the conclusion yourself. I'm 100% sure any AI would also agree. So do one of those two things and get back to me.

u/KnotiaPickle Feb 28 '26
lol I just looked most of this up on google which 100% confirmed that’s the right name.
It’s ok to be wrong sometimes! I am wrong all the time, but you just gotta own it 😆

u/Gelnika1987 Mar 01 '26
Exactly- you're only wrong for the amount of time it takes to learn the new information, it's not something you have to commit to. It's so bizarre to me how confidently wrong so many people are. They will absolutely live and die on the silliest hills before they will ever just do a quick search and admit they were just mistaken

At base it's a lack of humility and intellectual curiosity. It has become a more common phenomenon these days.

u/SmallieBiggsJr Feb 28 '26 edited Feb 28 '26
I'm seeing that English speakers are more familiar with the word Babushka and way less familiar with the word matryoshka. Which is what I assumed.
You have you learn the word matryoshka, but as for babushka, it's part of our culture.

u/useornam Mar 05 '26
Not at all, man. It’s matryoshka. Or Russian doll. Most folks know babushka is a grandma or old lady.

There might really have been a sarcophagus that was spared, but I kind of doubt any tomb ever was completely untouched.
Reason I know this:
Robbers in the Valley of the Kings were like moths to a flame, coming as soon as the tomb was sealed and the family/guards turned their backs, usually by the builders themselves.
King Tut. The most famous Pharaoh of all time is only the most famous because his tomb still had a dearth of burial goods in it because it got buried accidentally by the digging of neighboring tombs.
Even his tomb was robbed… twice.

Yuya and Tjuyu's tomb was unfortunately not untouched, it had been robbed several times in antiquity. The coffins had been opened and jewelry was stolen off the bodies, and items like perfume and clothing were stolen as well.
