چکیده
Pet mummies are the kind of mummy that resonates most closely with us now. From the Old Kingdom (c. 2663-2195 BC) onward, Egyptians are pictured in their tombs with their beloved pets, thus ensuring their continued joint existence in the Afterlife. Occasionally the pets would even have their names carved above their image, providing further insurance for their eternal life. This was particularly true of hunting dogs that were immortalized with their names such as “Swifter than the Gazelle” or “Slayer of Oryx”.

The particular combination – frangipani, diesel, rotting vegetation, with a hint of durian and the promise of something remarkably tasty being cooked on the next block – holds a special place. ...
