Text of the page (random words):
a continuation of the egyptian tradition of funerary masks but rather than sculpting them and making them of precious metals they began painting these lifelike portraits it s hotly debated whether this is an example of greco roman realist style imposed on their subjects or a home grown egyptian development of their own ancient tradition those who say it s more egyptian than roman point out that there s no surviving paintings in the rest of the roman empire that were this realistic those who say it s more roman than egyptian point out the arid climate left these portraits intact and beleive the others in the rest of the empire were lost personally i think you can call them egyptian because these people whether of roman or ancient egyptian descent are still the ancestors of the modern egyptians today despite the realism you can see a slight exaggeration of the eyes smoothing of the skin and inclusion of certain important objects around the subject s head it s a pattern that would get more and more pronounced until it became the style of byzantine iconography in the orthodox christian church mummy portrait egypt they are greek and roman with egypt ancesters they adopted the

which is no longer used for burials the burial site covers an area of approximately 3 000 square metres and contains the remains mostly skulls of an unknown number of people the cimitero delle fontanelle was first used for burials in the 16th century but with the outbreak of the plague in 1685 it became a major mass grave two centuries later in 1836 a cholera epidemic struck the centre of naples which also claimed many lives in 1872 the priest gaetano barbati was commissioned to categorise and clean all the bones and skeletons it was work for monks which was greatly appreciated by the inhabitants of naples thus the cemetery continued to grow in 1969 the gates of fontanelle closed for the last time as the incumbent archbishop regarded the cult of the dead as pagan superstition www ilmattino it one of the inhabitants however is something special and the subject of several legends the captain s skull with one black eye who the captain was or how old this skull is remains unknown it is only known that he is regarded as a protector www amazon ca according to legend a young bride to be took the captain s skull under her care to pray for his lost soul she often went to the cemetery to visit him and paid him much attention this was a thorn in the side of the woman s jealous fiancé so he insisted on accompanying her on her next visit she agreed and shortly afterwards took him to the cimitero delle fontanelle however as she began to pray her fiancé out of sheer spite took a stick and thrust it viciously into the eye socket of the skull mockingly he invited the captain to the wedding and left the cemetery laughing travel thewom it on the day of the wedding a man in uniform appeared amongst the guests no one knew him and even the newlyweds had never seen him before curious the groom asked the stranger that evening who he was suddenly the sky darkened and there was a sense of foreboding in the air slowly the man in uniform turned towards the groom you invited me to the wedding when you struck my eye blind with a stick do you remember he hissed mockingly the groom froze before he could reply the captain revealed his true form and the newlyweds died of shock x schaedelmaedel de the second legend as recounted by roberto de simone followed a similar pattern it tells of a camorra renowned as a womaniser and a blasphemer who dared to make love to a woman right inside the fontanelle cemetery suddenly out of nowhere the captain s irritated voice rang out reproaching the young man for his wicked deed the young man however mocked the deceased sage even throwing down a challenge to him with great sarcasm she invited him to her hypothetical wedding day for a duel believing in her libertine lifestyle that she would never marry however some time later having forgotten his wicked promise the young man did get married amongst the guests everyone noticed the presence of a disturbing and silent figure a mysterious man dressed entirely in black after the banquet then the guests asked the man who he was and he replied that he had brought a gift for the newlyweds and wished to deliver it to them in person the young couple then received the enigmatic guest in their room but the horrific truth was immediately revealed to their eyes it was the captain who with a deadly handshake incinerated the bodies of the two x so please if you come across him

intriguingly the body appears to have been wrapped only after an advanced state of decomposition had already begun no protective amulets were found and there are no signs that the boy suffered from long term illness or malnutrition during growth the skull is missing the upper front teeth and canine teeth but there are no obvious breaks inside the wrappings the bones are not in their natural positions the ribs and spine are jumbled and the arm bones have been taken apart and carefully placed across the chest to hold the body together the bones of the forearms were arranged similarly to support the stomach and hips on the left side one of the lower leg bones was placed on the outside almost like a splint the lower legs themselves are incomplete as the smaller leg bones have been removed from the larger ones on the right side the bones are so mixed that it is difficult to understand their exact arrangement despite this troubled anatomy the outer appearance is one of refinement the body is wrapped in fine linen with an encaustic mummy portrait set into the bandages over the face the frontal wrappings are arranged into neat concentric diamonds each centred with a gilded stud
