Well here we are…at the final prize of the final act of what has been a pretty darn fun event! Yep! I’m still going with that opinion! And yes…it was fun in part, because it was so darn EAsy! I actually got this “woman in rags” a full week ahead of the calendar, and so there was simply no pressure to grind. Which was enjoyable…because you really didn’t have to care.
But, I have to admit, once again, my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to look up to see how many female mummies had been discovered. And after a quick Google search…the answer is easy. A BUNCH!
Like loads and loads and loads of them. What do you call a crowd of mummies? A cluster? A Gaggle? A used fabric store?
Look at all of the mummies over history… My favorite? The Bog People! No wrapping needed!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy#Egyptian_mummies
So…as it turns out, female mummies are pretty common…but not as common as mummified pets (Pet Cemetery anyone?). But there is one very famous mommy mummy in the list of top 6 mummies worldwide (and yes, Lenin did make the cut! Good, old, pickled Vlad!!).
But here is our favorite mommy Mummy…
Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut, one of the most prominent female figures in the Egyptian history, reigned for two decades. She is known to have undertaken building projects in Egypt. Except for this, she is also known for the establishment of new trade routes until her death in 1458 BC. She too was discovered by Howard Carter in the year 1902.
It looks like she had waaaaaaaaay too much sun time in her day. A little sun screen with moisturizer would have helped a lot!
But, back to our own Hot Mummy Mamma… Womenhet!
She has power…she is not afraid to challenge the status quo! She is a great example for young women everywhere! (except for the dead part).
Act 3, Prize 6- Womenhet
Has 4hr tasks to earn Event Currency via her task list. Does NOT earn Pickaxes for dig site (no worries…didn’t need her…because she was the final prize…right?)
Questline: Mums the Word Pt. 1
Womenhet starts
Womenhet: Darling, what do you think of our home’s new decor?
Mummy: I love it darling, except for the Sphinx. It keeps asking me the most devilish riddles after I’ve already put my brain back in its canopic jar for the night.
Womenhet: I only got a Sphinx because you wouldn’t let me have a cat.
Mummy: Cats may be sacred, but their furballs sure aren’t!
Womenhet: If I can’t spruce up my tomb, I’ll brighten up everything else!
TASK: Reach Level 8 Make Womenhet Brighten Up Springfield-
8hrs, Earns Event Currency
Womenhet: I’m getting nowhere. I used to be able to raise a sandstorm with just the flutter of an eyelash. Now I can’t even raise a dustbunny from under the bed. I must recover my mystical mojo or I’ll be the laughing stock of the next mummy masquerade.
Mums the Word Pt. 2
Womenhet starts
Lisa: I couldn’t help but overhear you, Womenhet, saying you want to pretty up the town. Trouble is, only Sky Finger can grow plants here in Springfield.
Womenhet:…͞Sky Finger..? What nonsense are you on about, daughter of Isis?Lisa: Sky Finger holds the ultimate power in this place – it can summon or dismiss people and things at will.
Womenhet: What childish nonsense. Everyone knows the universe is run by thirty-seven gods with the heads of animals. Grow up. If Sky Finger truly exists, I dare it to demonstrate its power.
TASK: Reach Level 12 Place Flowers – Store Flowers – Make Womenhet Realize Sky Finger is Ordering Her Around- 4hrs, Earns Event Currency
Womenhet: Sky Finger is real! Forgive me, oh mighty digit. It was only in ignorance that I insulted your awesome power. Look, I baked you an ibis.
Mums the Word Pt. 3
Womenhet starts
Womenhet: Oh, great Sky Finger, please tell me how I can recover my magic powers.
Lisa: Whoa, whoa. If you want to beg boons of Sky Finger, you have to get in line. Some of us have been waiting on a vegetarian restaurant forever…
Womenhet: Sky Finger does not care who is first, Sky Finger cares who is most worthy. My people built the Pyramids. We know how to worship.
TASK Make Womenhet Worship Sky Finger-4hrs, Earns Event Currency

Womenhet: Thank you, oh great Sky Finger! May you never fail to poke your enemies squarely between the eyes.
Lisa: Still waiting on that vegetarian restaurant down here, Sky Finger…no rush.
Mums the Word Pt. 4 (If you bought the mummy)
Womenhet starts
Mummy: Dearest, I apologize if I implied I was not delighted with your decorating choices. Look how I’m supporting your goals. I rearranged the furniture to get better feng shui, whoever that is.
Womenhet: You just moved the sofa so it’s closer to the TV!
Mummy: Yes, yes, so we can watch feng shui together.
Womenhet: Ugh, why is everything always about the mummy!
TASK: Make Womenhet Summon Sandstorm- 4hrs, Earns Event Currency
Womenhet: Don’t worry dear, you should be able to dig yourself out of that room in about a week. And by then I’ll have finished all our redecorating. Now, where is that gold death mask we’ve been saving for a rainy day?
OK. So talking about stereotypes! Female mummies only care about decorating??? Sheesh….tell that to Cleopatra or Hatshepsut. Actually….you can’t tell Hatshepsut anything…she is busy working on a bit of facial reconstruction therapy….using what else? Plants she has grown herself!
That’s it folks…on to earning Bonuts!
How fast did YOU get Womenhet? Have you enjoyed this event? Are you glad you have her in your town?
