The dating simulator scene is getting weirder and weirder, so it’s hard to be surprised by anything they come up with these days.

Lying in the heart of Egypt’s capital at Cairo’s famed Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum has been fascinating and astonishing the world with its treasured collections for more than a century.

The Coffin Texts mention a final shape of hair also with a deep symbolic meaning. It is the lock of hair s3mt. About the meaning of s3mt there are different opinions. According to A. Erman and H. Grapow s3mt means “sadness” [1]; A. Gardiner translates it as “mourning” [2] and for R.O. Faulkner its meaning is “lock of hair” [3]. We will treat that later and we will notice that all translations result in the same idea
