As birthday presents go, the Royal Throne of Geb (Third Divine King of Earth), is not so bad, especially when you consider that I got two live cobras and a goat bone sepulcher as accent pieces. But what I had asked for was actually the Throne of Sobek, the Egyptian Crocodile god feared for his ferocity and admired for both his cunning and his sideburns.
When I asked my wife if she thought the Pantheon of gods would exchange it for Sobek's throne, she said they told her yes, just take chair and the receipt to the Royal Customer Service Department located on the other side of the River Of The Dead.
Still, this is a fine throne and would be a nice addition to your Egyptian antiquities collection. It is hand carved and decorated with golden paint from the personal art supply cabinet of Ramses II. The black fabric is woven in a subtle relief depicting the "Egyptian Day of Chaos", the ancient equivalent of our "Snow Day At The Grocery Store.”
While the age of the chair is unknown, the papyrus label is printed in hieroglyphics and loosely translates to "Do Not Remove This Label Under Penalty Of The Gods."
Throne: $75
