(The sketch of Nebene is rather successful and would make a good painting. Most interesting is the pendant I showed him wearing; I did a couple of enlarged sketches of this feature, noting that I didn’t understand its meaning or origin. I was quite surprised to find two days later, in the New York Times for September 12, a photograph that contained strong resemblances to my drawing of Nebene’s pendant: an Egyptian pendant possibly dating from around the time of King Tutankhamen, circa 1355 BC. It seems that currently Egyptian-motif jewelry is the rage in New York City, at least. My own notes contain a detailed chronology of events between my drawing, when we were given the newspaper containing the photo in question, etc. I asked that Seth possibly comment tonight. It seemed that the similarity between the Egyptian piece shown and my own drawing was a bit too coincidental. Nor do we know that much about the circumstances of the Nebene life to begin with. I thought it interesting that Nebene’s land, Jerusalem, say, was geographically next door to Egypt, and not great in physical distance, as far as miles go.

It did have an Egyptian origin, but also Hebrew connections. There were no pure sects even then, and the particular one Nebene followed was a curious mixture of ancient Egyptian beliefs and Hebrew beliefs. See what you can find out about it.
