317a and 317b mummies

  • ... that Tutankhamun's infant daughters are unnamed, being referred to only as "the deceased" on their coffins? Source: Carter, Howard (2000). The Tomb of Tut.ankh.amen: The Annexe and Treasury. London: Duckworth. pp. 88–89
    • Comment: My first ever DYK submission

Improved to Good Article status by Merytat3n (talk). Self-nominated at 11:41, 26 May 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article itself says that they are called "the Osiris", which differs from the hook. What's the deal with that? resolved casualdejekyll 01:15, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

The intro paragraph didn't specify it at the time (which I've fixed - thanks!) but the sentence/quote I'm using does (end of the Coffins section). The title 'the Osiris' identifies the name that usually follows it as someone who is deceased and therefore joined with the god of the dead Osiris. Merytat3n (talk) 09:44, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Hmm. Honestly, "The Osiris" sounds cooler to me, but I'm not too sure. @Merytat3n: what's your opinion on ALT1: ... that Tutankhamun's infant daughters are unnamed, being referred to only as "the Osiris" on their coffins?

@Casualdejekyll: Yeah I like it! I reckon you are right, its more intriguing this way as readers will have to click through to the article to find out what is meant by 'the Osiris'. Merytat3n (talk) 22:31, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Right! ALT1 is good to go, then!.. I just realized I'm not allowed to approve hooks I proposed myself. Oops. casualdejekyll 22:56, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
