Another favourite from the PT
Unas eats their magic, swallows their spirits: their big ones are for his morning meal, their middle ones for his evening meal, their little ones for his night meal, and the oldest males and females for his fuel. (Pyramid Texts) (ALL)

Still remember translating this in Old Egyptian class.
The phallus of Babi is drawn back, the doors of the sky are opened, the King has opened <the doors of the sky> because of the furnace-heat which is beneath what the gods pour out. (PTF)

If you’re going to go down the fridge magnet route in the museum shop, I reckon a laser-etched copy of the Claudia Severa - Sulpicia Lepidina birthday invitation Vindolanda tablet is pretty hardcore, to be fair.

Several sections to this thread. Worth reading all of them.
This is not a birth certificate and that footprint does not belong to the child discussed on the tablet. They're not even from the same city; the footprint is from Nippur, the text is from Ur.
So why did the Penn Museum bring these objects together like this since 2016?

Sumerian birth certificate. A clay tablet found at the Sumerian city of Nippur in southern Iraq.
Estimated to be around 2000-1600 BC. Contains a birth announcement, its gender, the names of its parents, and a footprint of the newborn.
