May 2012 Where The Heck Is It?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Clues for this month…

This odd artifact was originally collected and published as the shower mat used by the New Kingdom Pharaoh Men-Kau-Re II.

The discovery was the greatest achievement of the poorly known Welsh Egyptologist, Dearbhorgaill Uinghean Chonchobhair. He might have accomplished more, but a camel ate him.

Or do you disagree?
If so:

1. What do you think this artifact is?

2. What are the black and white blotches?

3. What does the writing on the white area say?

Bring your answers to the May 2012 meeting and you may win a prize.
