The living story

The story so far

The forked flint blade of the Opening of the Mouth, touched to the mummy's lips so the dead can breathe and eat and speak again. Horus used it first, on his father Osiris. It has been opening mouths for four thousand years. It has never once been thanked.

Happening now

Tonight it touches a mummy's lips in a tomb chapel, and the dead breathe again, and eat again, and speak again.

What may come

It will open the next mouth, and the next. The blade does not dull. The rite does not change.

Why someone keeps Pesesh-Kef

  • because it's opened mouths for four thousand years and never been thanked — you keep it for the unthanked work
  • because Horus used it first, on his father, and some tools carry love
  • because giving the dead their voice back is the noblest use of a blade
