ALBAWABA - An incredible archeological discovery in Minya, Egypt, has uncovered a 3,400-year-old sarcophagus with an image that remarkably resembles Marge Simpson from the hit television series "The Simpsons."
Engraved within the coffin lid, the image features a yellow-colored lady wearing a long, green dress and her blue hair arranged in a rectangle form, eerily reminiscent to Marge Simpson's famous appearance. It is thought that Tadi Ist, the daughter of El-Ashmunein's high priest, is the owner of the tomb.
Experts stress that, despite the amusing parallel to contemporary animation, the image most likely depicts Tadi Ist herself, symbolizing her trip into the afterlife. The coffin lid provides insights into ancient Egyptian burial traditions and creative expressions. It is a part of a wider necropolis that houses the graves of high-ranking officials and priests.
The significance of the Griefa necropolis in Egyptian history has been highlighted by the hundreds of objects that have been unearthed during excavations there, including mummies, canopic jars, and finely carved sculptures. The startling likeness of the coffin lid to a contemporary cartoon figure serves as a reminder of the mystery and intrigue that have always surrounded ancient civilizations.
A lot of people are excited and amused with this unexpected finding, with many speculating that "The Simpsons" has once again foreseen the future.
When the sarcophagus was discovered in the early months of 2023, it also contained pictures of twelve high priestesses, each of whom stood for a different hour of the day.
