| Description | The False Door of Tjetji and Debet, housed in the British Museum, is an ancient Egyptian artifact dating back to the Old Kingdom period. Carved from limestone, this monumental piece served as a symbolic gateway between the mortal world and the afterlife, allowing the deceased to receive offerings and interact with the living. Its intricate design features hieroglyphic inscriptions and depictions of the deceased individuals, Tjetji and Debet, along with scenes of daily life and religious rituals. As a significant example of ancient Egyptian funerary art, this false door offers valuable insights into the beliefs and practices surrounding death and the afterlife in ancient Egypt. |
