I joined the NMEC Youth Works Outreach to the Fil-Chinese Home for the Aged Women at Valenzuela City today (July 3, 2011). She is one of the residents there and their story is the same - one of loneliness, depression, feeling of uselessness and unwanted. May we share the love of Christ to them.

In ancient Egypt, linen was by far the most common textile. It helped people to be comfortable in the subtropical heat. Linen is made from the flax plant by spinning the fibers from the stem of the plant. Spinning, weaving and sewing were very important techniques for all Egyptian societies. Plant dyes could be applied to clothing but the clothing was usually left in its natural color. Wool was known, but considered impure. Only the wealthy wore animal fibers that were the object of taboos. They were used on occasion for overcoats, but were forbidden in temples and sanctuaries.

In Greek mythology, Niobe was a daughter of Tantalus and of either Dione, the most frequently cited, or of Eurythemista or Euryanassa, the wife of Amphion and the sister of Pelops and Broteas.
She was already mentioned in Homer's Iliad which relates her proud hubris, for which she was punished by Leto, who sent Apollo and Artemis to slay all of her children, after which her children lay unburied for nine days while she abstained from food. Once the gods interred them, she retreated to her native Sipylus, where Nymphs dance around the River Acheloos, and though turned to stone, she broods over the sorrows sent by the Gods.Later writers asserted that Niobe was wedded to Amphion, one of the twin founders of Thebes, where there was a single sanctuary where the twin founders were venerated, but in fact no shrine to Niobe.

The coffin of Nedjemankh is a gilded ancient Egyptian coffin from the late Ptolemaic Period. It once encased the mummy of Nedjemankh, a priest of the ram god Heryshaf.
The coffin is 181 cm long, 53 cm wide, and 28 cm deep. It combines cartonnage (linen, glue, and gesso), paint, gold, silver, resin, glass, wood, and leaded bronze. The lid is covered with vignettes illustrating funerary spells, and has an inscription invoking gold and silver; inside is a figure of Nut, the goddess of the sky, partially covered with silver foil. On the base of the coffin is a djed pillar.
Provenance
The coffin is believed to have been looted from Egypt in 2011. Before its true history was known, it was purchased by New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in July 2017 for 3.5 million euros, or about 3.95 million dollars.
The Met museum purchased the coffin from Christophe Kunicki, a Paris-based art dealer who advertised as specialising in "Mediterranean Antiquities", particularly "Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Near East antiquities". According to the ownership history received by the Met at the time, the coffin had been exported from Egypt in 1971 with a licence granted by the "Antiquities Organization / Egyptian Museum, Cairo. "It was said to have been among the stock of Habib Tawadrus, a dealer since at least 1936, who operated Habib & Company across from Cairo's Shepheard's Hotel; a representative for Tawadrus's heirs exported the coffin to Switzerland, with a translation of the export license provided in February 1977 by the German embassy in Cairo, for the use of the representative and new European owner. Egypt allowed the export of some antiquities before the passage of the Antiquities Protection Law of 1983. The museum believed the coffin remained in that family's collection until its 2017 purchase.
Return to Egypt
In February 2019, the Metropolitan Museum was approached by the New York County District Attorney's Office, which presented the museum with evidence provided by the Egyptian government that the dealer’s 1971 export license had been forged. Further evidence showed the coffin had been stolen in 2011 and its history was a fraud. The museum then shuttered the then-ongoing exhibition Nedjemankh and His Gilded Coffin, previously scheduled to run through April 21, 2019, and handed the coffin over to the Antiquities Repatriation Department of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.

Ancient Egyptians used various materials to make fabrics, such as linen, cotton and wool. During the Pre-dynastic Period, the Egyptians invented the loom to facilitate the weaving process, as the oldest depiction of the loom dates back to the Badari civilization.
A loom is a device used to weave cloth and tapestry. The purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft thread by using a wooden shuttle.
There were two types of looms in ancient Egypt: the horizontal loom, which was common in the Pre-dynastic Period and the Old Kingdom. But during the Middle Kingdom Egyptians invented the vertical loom, which occupies less area and gives more space to monitor the cloth during weaving.

Since the predynastic period, the ancient Egyptians have utilized tents constructed of matting, leather, and thick linen fabric as a temporary method of habitation. The everyday life scenarios revealed that tents were utilized by the ancient Egyptians on hunting trips and military campaigns, as well as as a temporary dwelling for deity statues in processions. In addition, tents were built up in the gardens and courtyards of houses for housewives to use during the last stages of pregnancy and delivery. In the hot summer days, tents and pavilions made of fine linen were erected beside the palaces’ lakes and gardens as a place for amusement and leisure. Furthermore, aristocrats and affluent individuals would place a baldachin made of matting or leather in front of their tombs for purification ceremonies, and it would eventually be buried with the corpse.
When Emile Brugsch and Ahmed Kamalc found the Deir el-Bahari cache (TT 320) in 1881, Brugsch discovered this one-of-a-kind tent buried in one of its corridors, still retaining its bright colors because it was made entirely of applique colored leather, and decorated with carefully cut-out leather ornaments and texts fixed on a different color piece of leather. These writings depict Isetemkheb II’s delightful company with God Khonsu Lord of Thebes, Goddess Mut, and the deities of the other world amid the fragrance of flowers and perfumes from Punt.
It is noteworthy as it is the sole tent from ancient Egypt that has survived to the present day.
This tent was built between 1046 and 1037 BCE for the funeral purification of Isetemkheb II, the daughter of the army general and Amun high priest Masaherta and Amun chantress Tayuheret, and the granddaughter of King Pinudjem I of the 21st dynasty. Notable, Isetemekheb II held the rank of superior of the harem of Min, Horus, and Isis in Akhmim and was one of the numerous princesses in the family to have this name.
Although Isetemkheb II’s”coffin has yet to be unearthed, her cousin Pinudjem II’s coffin was discovered in the Deir el-Bahari cache and is currently exhibited within the baldachin.

"My country is not longer only in Africa; we are now part of Europe, too. It is therefore natural for us to abandon our former ways and to adopt a new system adapted to our social conditions".
This coffin was amongst the group of coffins and mummies discovered within the Royal Cache at Deir el-Bahari (TT320) in 1881.
From his initial resting place (KV7) to the Deir el-Bahari cache (TT320), the mummy of Rameses II was removed from his original tomb and moved to the tomb of his father, Seti I (KV17). The body of Ramesses II remained in his father’s tomb for over 80 years before the KV17 cache was moved to the tomb of Ahmose-Inhapi. This latter tomb was used as a hidden cache for just over 40 years before the mummies’ final transfer to the Royal Cache at TT320 in year 11 of Shoshenq II’s reign. (arce.org/coffin-ramesses-ii/)

Thutmose III (Tuthmosis or Thothmes), sometimes called Thutmose the Great, was the sixth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty.
Officially, Thutmose III ruled Egypt for almost 54 years and his reign is usually dated from 28 April 1479 BC to 11 March 1425 BC, from the age of two and until his death at age fifty-six; however, during the first 22 years of his reign, he was coregent with his stepmother and aunt, Hatshepsut, who was named the pharaoh. While he was shown first on surviving monuments, both were assigned the usual royal names and insignia and neither is given any obvious seniority over the other.
Thutmose served as the head of Hatshepsut's armies. During the final two years of his reign, he appointed his son and successor, Amenhotep II, as his junior co-regent. His firstborn son and heir to the throne, Amenemhat, predeceased Thutmose III.

After weeks of playing, and praising and parenting, NMEC's Bouncing Blessings classes for the summer came to a close.
Unlike traditional church-based Sunday school classes, graduation was capped off with swimming and pool play with little plastic balls thrown in - all in the 4th floor classroom. :)
