Luxor • Egypten
Tutankhamon dog för 3347 år sedan, närmare bestämt på en tisdag klockan 20.34 (CET). Det var en varm kväll och ökenbrisen svepte genom kungarnas dal. Arbetet med att mumifiera och bygga ytterligare en pyramid över Tuttan skulle precis ta sin början. Samtidigt i Bösarp piskade höststormen utanför den ärade familjen Jönssons hus. Den framgångsrika ledaren Nils som gått bort två veckor tidigare skulle snart begravas under en kulle, Det var bronsålder i norden och väldigt väldigt kallt.
Luxor • Egypt
Tutankhamun passed away on a Tuesday evening at 2:34 PM (EST) 3347 years ago. It was a warm evening and the desert breeze swept through the Valley of the Kings. The meticulous process of mummification and the construction of another pyramid in his honor had only just commenced. Meanwhile, near what is now Somerville, Massachusetts, an autumn storm raged outside the Anishinaabe people’s tipi encampment, home to a tight-knit community of 15 families. There and then began the arduous struggle for respect and the preservation of the rights and dignity of Indigenous peoples. While the winds howled outside the tent, those inside began a struggle without knowing what awaited them. A dark future, where American democracy and its foundational principles were threatened by a madman who sought to become a dictator. But as the saying goes: this too shall pass.
