I loved the idea of royal coffins as talismans/ "repositirories for wealth and power" for the people involved in royal reburials each time, across time. Isn't this actually the way they worked recently, at the relocation parade from Cairo Museum to NMEC?
Ordered the book this week!!! So excited to read it.

Sorry just seeing this now. Absolutely it’s the very same thing. This is why I end my talk about these coffins with an image of the parade.
