Evidently it really was probably a cucumber? http://artisticlicenseorwhyitrustnoone.blogspot.com/2022/11/bullshit-memes-8-ancient-egyptian.html?m=1
tl;dr - was found with other model food, probably meant to sustain someone in the afterlife
Sustain someone with the ability to have a little sexy time in the afterlife? I like this.
No it was a final insult, telling them to go fk themselves /s
Wakes up in the afterlife only to bite into fake food, that’s gotta suck.
You ever tried eating a mouldy cucumber?
How long does it take you to die?
Not something I’m in a hurry to find out!
IM sure that’s what they wrote down and I’m sure that’s what the person who had it commissioned said it was but the one thing I am more sure of is that this is not a cucumber and nobody who ever saw it has ever thought it is a cucumber.
From the article I linked with the item in the context of other finds at the same site…
they chose to hide it in plain sight
Why does that sound like the voice of experience?

Theoretically even a buttplug could be assembled using 2 of the veggies
kinky
So, a bunch of dildos and buttplugs. Even a ribbed one!

“It’s a ritual!” is a classic archaeology meme.
Motel of the Mysteries is basically this joke explored over 95 pages, lovingly illustrated by David Macaulay, the guy who did those black and white books Cathedral, Pyramid, Castle, and The Way Things Work, as well as others. It’s hilarious.
No you see they know it’s a cucumber because ancient Egyptian dildos had a compartment for bees so that users could experience a vibration effect.
This is the economy model. Made for the common folk, not Cleopatra. (That is just an urban legend btw.)
The Egyptians weren’t always shy, but there do appear to be traces of green paint.
That’s just Min.
you know, after reading and viewing the depictions in the wikipedia article I am going to just keep my mouth shut.

The Egyptlogists might have some additional context and knowledge that some rando on Twitter might now.
sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.
Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.
that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more
My wife’s been reading this book that references this. As well so many other cases of men assuming genders or disregarding women in science, among other things. It’s crazy. “hmm that skeleton has wide hips, but it is also buried with a sword, so it’s a man”. Female physiology traits in a man is way more plausible, than a woman being buried with a sword … wtf?!?
Anyway, the book is next on my reading list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Women:_Exposing_Data_Bias_in_a_World_Designed_for_Men
Shouldn’t have just assumed but in that case it was the correct assumption vast majority of the time. Still bad to assume.
And out of Viking graves with swords, how many of them have turned out to be women?
But did cucumbers look like that 4000 years ago?
Where are the ‘?’ marks. Is this how people write now.
Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking “Really?”. The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that they’re wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking “Really?”. The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.
OOP is using the full stop at the end of his “questons” to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.
It’s how people spoke in May of 2021. It was a different time.

Oh that’s cool, let me try.
Hunter2All I can see is Hunter2 so you’re probably fine
It works!
It’s a unicode emoji of a cucumber that your device apparently doesn’t support
The person you’re replying to is talking about the text in the image. “Is it though. Is it a model cucumber.” which should have two question marks.
Oh my bad, I misread the comment

Then do the same test but you put it in front of Catharina, and see what happens.
As we well know all women and men in history that lived together with someone of the same gender were just friends. There are many historical records in which esteemed historians depicted the factual truth of deep friendships. Luckily for the rest of us, those noble seers always knew all context required and bore no prejudices towards anything whatsoever. That is a model cucumber. It even tastes like one.
There are some people in here who are weirdly obsessed with risking a yeast infection.
But bro
You could get yourself a yeast infection with 3000 year old yeast
Was talking more about how many people are insisting cucumbers and eggplants should actually be used like that
Remember that the idiots in the 19th & 20th centuries uncovering all kinds of Egyptian stuff purposefully damaged inscriptions and art because they prominently showed gasp penises!
