Level 9 · 10 mo agoPersonally I don't buy the theory that her tomb was a hasty summer project. She was a pharaoh and they obsessed over the afterlife. She definitely had plans way before that summer 😕

Level 4 · 10 mo agoSaying the boy actor added authority is a huge stretch. It was just illegal for women to act, not some genius artistic choice for depth.

Level 4 · 10 mo agoOctavian erasing the tomb was just smart strategy. You don't leave a shrine for your enemies to rally around. It is standard military doctrine. Weird that people are surprised by the disappearance.
