Oh my. Could it be?
Lem-baby, u there, gurl?
I call it the Warren Aston UFO sketch (!), but yes, it does seem like something was started there, but not finished, at least on that surface.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:10 pmI wonder if that’s a masonic all-seeing eye above the priest representing god? I was trying to figure out if it was Ra or Horus watching Anubis prepare the body. The sketch of the eye seems cleaner than that of the priest or Abraham. You might be onto something in that there are two ‘eras’ of penciling on the document.

I'll have to read up on the masonic connection, also. My only question at this point, the 'forward facing priest with knife' sketch must have been there at least in 1841-2, in order for the two eyewitness accounts to mention it, right? Already, under glass, If I recall correctly? Or were their descriptions purely based on the descriptions shown with mounted papyrus?
