    File Louvres antiquites egyptiennes img 2848.jpg thumb Rishi coffins Rishi coffins are Ancient Egypt ian coffins decorated all over with a feather design. They are typical of the Egyptian Second Intermediate Period around 1650 to 1550 BC . In the Egyptian Old and Middle Kingdom coffins were rectangular. Only in the 12th Dynasty appear the first coffins in anthropoid human shape copying in design mummies showing a human head and the body without arms and legs as if they are wrapped in linen. These coffins were always in a set of several coffins with the outer coffin being rectangular. Perhaps already in the 13th Dynasty these anthropoid coffins were decorated all over with a feather design and are no longer placed within an outer, rectangular coffin. These are the first rishi coffins. The earliest example mentioned in literature is the coffin of the scribe of the great enclosure Neferhotep scribe of the great enclosure Neferhotep , dating to the 13th Dynasty. ref Gianluca Miniaci, Stephen Quirke Mariette at Dra Abu el Naga and the tomb of Neferhotep a mid 13th dynasty coffin ? , In Egitto e Vicino Oriente , 31 2008 , 1 25 ref However, this coffin was only described by the excavator and is now lost. The earliest secure know examples of rishi coffins belong to the kings of the Seventeenth Dynasty and were found in the 19th century at Thebes. The depicted person most often wears a nemes headdress, the body is covered with feathers, there is an inscription in the middle going from the top to the bottom and on the chest are shown a vulture and a cobra, both royal symbols. From the Seventeenth Dynasty are also known many private rishi coffins. This type of coffin is still attested in the early New Kingdom, but is later replaced by other coffin types.

    File Stick shabtis bm.JPG thumb Stick ushabti in a model coffin Stick shabtis or stick ushabtis are Ancient Egyptian ushabti s made of wood. They have a rough, anthropoid shape and are not well carved and bear just one inscription on the front. They are not painted or further decorated, unlike the normal Egyptian ushabtis which are sometimes small artworks in the own right. Stick shabtis are dating to the end of the 17th and to the beginning of the 18th Dynasty around 1550 BC . Stick shabtis had a different function to most of the normal ushabtis. While ushabtis were most often placed into the burial chamber and had the function to work for the deceased, stick shabtis were always found in the overground cult chapel of Egyptian tombs, only at Thebes, Egypt Thebes . They are often placed into roughly carved model coffins. In the inscriptions on these shabtis, the names of officials appear. It seems that stick shabtis represented family members and friends of a deceased. The stick shabtis were placed close to the burial of a beloved family member, so that the represented people could be symbolically close to their beloved one.

The World War II story depicts events before and after the assassination of top Nazi Germany German leader Reinhard Heydrich in Prague Operation Anthropoid . Synopsis On September 27, 1941, Reinhard Heydrich , one of the most feared top officials of the Nazi Party , an architect of the Holocaust and Hitler s possible successor, is appointed Reichsprotektor of Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia Bohemia and Moravia . As a result of his brutality and oppression he is also called The Butcher of Prague or The Blond Beast . A squad of agents is selected, trained and then parachuted into Czechoslovakia . The team operated in Prague and planned the attack for about six months. The mission, Operation Anthropoid , is successfully executed in the capital on May 27, 1942 by means of an ambush, but almost fails at a crucial moment when one of their Sten guns jams and they are obliged to use a grenade instead. Heydrich eventually succumbs to his wounds, but during the frenzied aftermath, the group is betrayed by one of its members and they are cornered in a church crypt in Prague. In the gun battle that follows, all but two of the agents are killed. The remaining ones commit suicide. The German high command takes savage reprisals, including the massacre of 340 men, women and children from the village of Lidice and the razing of the village. Cast Radoslav Brzobohat 1st Lt.
