10/2- You are on the right track! Can you please paste all or part of the Medjed article below? Then write a few sentences in your work log about what you'll improve. If you need help finding good sources, reach out to Rachel (our librarian) in Inbox in Canvas.

10/24- Good. So you wrote "New Kingdom "Papyri"? It needs a revision.  You introduce the translation, but you haven't said anything in a language other than English.  Take out "the translation is."  And instead of "Here is the quote," say who is speaking and provide more context.  Can we talk about this in class?

What else have you added or changed that I need to give feedback on?

New Kingdom "Papyri"- MOVE THIS PARAGRAPH
Medjed is also mentioned in the New Kingdom Papyri, a specific group of Papyri. They were known as the "Theban Recenscion of the Book of the Dead". It states, "I know the being Mātchet [Medjed] who is among them in the House of Osiris, shooting rays of light from [his] eye, but who himself is unseen. He goeth round about heaven robed in the flame of his mouth, commanding Hāpi [god of the annual flooding of the Nile], but remaining himself unseen.”



Article I'm Editing (pasted)'
Medjed (Matchet) is a god in Ancient Egyptian religion, mentioned in the Book of the Dead. Medjed was named after a species of elephantfish that the Egyptian culture worshipped.

Book of the Dead
Spell 17 of the Book of the Dead mentions, among many other obscure gods, one Medjed (meaning "the Smiter"), in the following line:


 * "I know the name of that Smiter among them, who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen."

Nothing else is known about that god.

New Kingdom "Papyri"
Medjed is also mentioned in the New Kingdom Papyri, a specific group of Papyri to be specifically. They were known as the "Theban Recenscion of the Book of the Dead". Here is the quote. "I know the being Mātchet [Medjed] who is among them in the House of Osiris, shooting rays of light from [his] eye, but who himself is unseen. He goeth round about heaven robed in the flame of his mouth, commanding Hāpi [god of the annual flooding of the Nile], but remaining himself unseen.” The translation of that is “I know the name of that smiter among them who belongs to the House of Osiris, who shoots with his eye, yet is unseen. The sky is encircled with the fiery blast of his mouth and Hapi makes report, yet he is unseen.”

Internet meme
In the illustration to the spell on sheet 76 of the Greenfield papyrus, what is thought to be Medjed is depicted as a figure covered entirely in a conical covering except for the eyes and feet, which are visible.

After the papyrus was exhibited in 2012 at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and the Fukuoka Museum of Art, Medjed became a sensation on Japanese social media. The god was embraced by Japanese popular culture, including as an Internet meme and as a character in video games.
