 Egyptian Round Tuit History
A long time ago, in ancient Egypt…
Procrastination is not a modern problem - even in the time
of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt, people found it hard to get
things done.
Take Queen Neffatuit, for example. She would put off even
the most trivial of tasks, but the great Pyramid of Neffatuit
must be her most famous legacy.
 Such
was the concern at the time that the great pyramid would not
be completed, a beautiful gold plaque was crafted and given to
her for her 40th birthday. This round ‘Tuit’ was a
sign from her people and her son, Tuitkharmen, that she needed
to pull her finger out and finish the project. The completed
pyramid stands as a reminder to all that procrastination can
affect us all - but can be overcome with the right help.
Over 3,000 years later, the gold round ‘Tuit’ that
had been presented to Queen Neffatuit was discovered in a hidden
tomb at the Valley Of The Kings. Now you can own a beautiful
miniature of the round ‘Tuit’ that helped a famous
Egyptian overcome her procrastination.
