I was rereading the Spanish archaeologists excavation of the xiis tombs and this part stood out to me. Inlays,plaques, and tiles in glass which were embedded in ither objects probably wooden boxes. I know we talked about it on here that this was likley a sign that these 1st century somalis had high purchasing power. But I think there is something bigger going on here.
Merotic royal tombs were heavily eygptianized.
by this i mean they copied literally everything to the dot. Just consider a few hundred years ago they ruled eygpt.
Here's what the inside of a merotic royal tomb looks like.
So doesnt it seems strange that you'd find grave goods reserved for merotic royal tombs which followed the ancient eygptian pharaonic cult ?
