In 1976, the “Treasures of Tutankhamun” exhibit opened in the United States and began its tour of six different cities. The exhibit recreated archeologist Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of King Tut’s tomb and displayed the many ancient Egyptian artifacts found within it—including King Tut’s sarcophagus and mummified body. The exhibit became the hottest ticket in town and each day museum patrons would arrive at dawn to wait in hours-long lines for their chance to enter the tomb. By the time the exhibit closed, eight million people, coast to coast, had attended. The widespread popularity ushered in the era of blockbuster museum exhibits and also made King Tut part of the cultural zeitgeist of the 1970’s. When I was little, I went to the show and I have a vivid memory of walking down the narrow hallway into the tomb, retracing the steps of Howard Carter. The theatricality and ancient wonders of the exhibit made a lasting impression on me and helped me become an artist. 

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was responsible for the souvenirs sold at the exhibit, which ranged from affordable trinkets to high-end merchandising like jewelry. These 18k gold pendants are very rare, limited edition pieces that were sold as collector’s items at the exhibit. They represent the Egyptian gods and goddesses found within King Tut’s tomb and are rendered in 18k gold. The high karat gold has a glow that evokes timelessness and intrigue--fitting for these beautiful replicas of ancient wonders. We have a small collection of them available in our shop; each is sold separately. 

This pendant depicts Ptah—the Egyptian god who was considered to have created the world and all living creatures. It was believed that by first imagining in his heart and then speaking the name of each being, he brought all of the universe into existence. As a creator himself, Ptah is the patron deity of artists and craftsman. He is depicted as a mummy with green skin (the color of vegetation and growth), a long beard, and holding a staff that represents the elements of power, life, and stability. He is also the deity of the capital of Egypt, Memphis.  

The Ptah pendant measures 1 3/8” x 3/8” with a 4.5 x 5 mm bail. It weighs 7.7 grams. 

The pendant is marked with 18K, 1976, MMA (for Metropolitan Museum of Art), and the copyright sign. I took the liberty of opening up the bail to accommodate the larger chains worn today. Other than that, the pendant is completely original. 

The pendant is pictured alongside Vintage 1976 MMA King Tut 18K Gold Wadjet, Sobek, and Hathor pendants, also available in our shop.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5
