![The king wearing the red crown of the North and holding the royal insignia. One of the funeral objects used to evoke the mystical pilgrimages during the funeral. Tukankhamen, by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 218. <br> Found in the room which diggers called "The Treasury." The King is depicted her wearing the red crown of the North and in a walking position. He is holding in one hand the flail and in the other a long crook which he is using as a walking stick. The object is reminiscent of the emblems of Osirian kingship which are held in the hands of the royal mummy.<br> Ancient Egypt was once divided into two kingdoms. Before 3000 B.C., the kingdom in Lower Egypt was called the red crown and the Kingdom in Upper Egypt was known as the white crown. When Egypt was united, these two crowns were amalgamated into the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.<br> The Ushabti (also called shabti or shawabti) is a small figurine of Ancient Egypt, included in the grave goods of the dead. They are human form statues that were made to serve and do labour in the afterlife of King Tut.](images/thumbs/0965784.jpg "The king wearing the red crown of the North and holding the royal insignia.

![One of the many ushabtis of Tutankhamen wearing the red crown of the North. Tukankhamen by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 171.<br> Ancient Egypt was once divided into two kingdoms. The kingdom in Lower Egypt was called the red crown and the Kingdom in Upper Egypt was known as the white crown.<br> A Ushabti (also called shabti or shawabti) is a small figurine of Ancient Egypt, included in the grave goods of the dead. They are human form statues that were made to serve and do labour in the afterlife of King Tut. The figure was believed to magically animate after the dead had been judged and work for the dead person as a servant or substitute labourer in the fields of Osiris. The "ushabti" is also named the: "follower", or " answerer" because they "answered", for the deceased person, and performed all the routine chores of daily life, for them. Some tombs had the floor covered, with tens, or multiples, of ushabti figurines, produced in quantity, for the journey, of the deceased. In the l8th Dynasty the statuettes started to combine the mummiform figure of the deceased with agricultural or other implements. The ushabtis were used from the 11th Dynasty but became common and numerous in graves from the 21st Dynasty. They symbolically replaced genuine sacrificial burials. Materials used to carve the figures began with wax and clay; later figures were of stone, terracotta, metals, glass and, most often, glazed earthenware. <br>](images/thumbs/0965801.jpg "One of the many ushabtis of Tutankhamen wearing the red crown of the North.

![Serket protecting the canopic shrine. Tukankhamen, by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 159.<br> In Egyptian mythology, Serket (also spelt Serket-hetyt, Selket, Selkis, Selchis, and Selkhit) was originally the deification of the scorpion. Scorpion stings lead to paralysis, and Serket's name describes this, as it means one who "tightens the throat". However, Serket's name can mean one who causes the throat to breath. Therefore, in addition to being seen as stinging the unrighteous, Serket was seen as one who could cure scorpion stings, and other poisons, such as snake bites.<br> Serket was considered a highly important goddess, and was sometimes considered by pharaohs to be their patron. As the protector against poisons, and snake bites, Serket was often said to protect the gods from Apep, the great snake-god of evil, sometimes acting as the guard when Apep was captured.<br><br>](images/thumbs/0965782.jpg "Serket protecting the canopic shrine.
