Wepwawet, Lord of Abydos and Champion of Royalty: Jubilees, Worship and Resurrection—Part II
From being a god with militaristic overtones, in time, Wepwawet was hailed as the ‘Lord of the Necropolis’, a role he acquired from Osiris, at his cult centers in Abydos and later Asyut too. A complex deity, Wepwawet catered to different needs – such as protection of the pharaoh, a participant in the ‘Opening of the Mouth’ ceremony; as the ‘Opener of the Ways’ in the Duat (Netherworld); ‘Opener of the Womb’ as the first-born and so on.

The Ancient Inhabitants of Easter Island were not the Cause of the Deforestation on the Island
A team of Spanish scientists has managed to reconstruct the past 3,000 years of history of Easter Island. Their new findings show that deforestation of the island occurred gradually, and not in all areas at the same time. Furthermore, they say that it was due to major climate changes and not overexploitation of resources by humans, as previously thought. The research suggests that deforestation ravaged Easter Island for more than a thousand years and influenced the collapse of its ancient civilization.
