Archaeologists have discovered an ancient Egyptian tomb featuring a painting that closely resembles the character Marge Simpson from the popular American animated sitcom The Simpsons.
The 3,000-year-old tomb was found in the Egyptian city of Minya on the western bank of the Nile. The painting depicts a woman with yellow skin, a blue crown, and a green outfit – very similar to Marge’s iconic look.
The discovery has gone viral on Reddit, with many commenters joking that ancient Egypt somehow predicted the creation of The Simpsons decades later.
However, experts state that the painting actually depicts the daughter of a high priest named Tadi Ist, and the tomb dates back to the 20th Dynasty of the New Kingdom, around 1186-1069 BC.
While the resemblance is uncanny, it is likely just a coincidence. The article pokes fun at the common conspiracy theory that The Simpsons has a history of predicting future events.
Overall, the discovery has captured the internet’s imagination, even if the painting’s true meaning and origin lie in ancient Egyptian history, not any supposed connection to a modern TV show.
