Ancient Egypt in Mr. Peabody and Sherman
My main problem with this is that they portrayed the relationship of the queen to her king completely inaccurately. The Egyptians did not kill anyone when the pharaoh died. It is true that servants were once strangled to death and then buried near the king; however, they stopped practicing this in the first dynasty of Kmt.
Plus, just FYI, he was already married. Egyptian kings, of course, were allowed to have multiple wives. “The same year that Tutankhaten [later changing his name to Tutankhamun, which means “the living image of Amun”] took power, he married Ankhesenamun, his half sister and the daughter of Nefertiti.” (x)
Yeah, I totally agree with you.
The characters in the movie were designed as amazingly cute! The only reason to watch it anyway.
But really, why did they bring up that silly thing about killing the queen after the king’s death? And there was a silly picture of Anubis ripping the heart off the dead body, it was simply gross.
