Egyptian Dreams

[Daughter_Of_SETI]

OK, so here are a few questions to get your minds going. I've tried to make them Ancient Egyptian themed. So here goes:

Question 1
Bastet was walking through the divine market with a basket over her arm, doing some shopping for the gods (Horus wanted some red wine with his breakfast), when she stopped to put something in her basket. After she had put it in her basket, her basket was 2 debens lighter.
What did Bastet put in her basket?

Question 2
Two jackals are standing in the Egyptian desert. One is facing towards the east, and the second is facing the west.
How can the jackals look at each other without turning around?

Question 3
After spending the morning visiting the Valley of the Kings in Thebes, you drive a felucca from Thebes southwards towards Philae to see the Temple of Isis and then on to Abu Simbel, where you stop for two days to rest. You then continue your journey up northwards to see the Giza pyramids, stopping to see the pyramids at Saqqara on the way. You then finish your journey by travelling back down south to Thebes to spend an afternoon at Deir el-Medina.
What is the felucca driver's name?

Question 4
A lady named Meryet, has two sons that were born on the same day, in the same month, in the same year, but they aren't twins.
How is this possible?

Hmmm, interesting, but I only know the jackals one...they are already looking at each other! They are facing opposite directions but also looking at each other.

Well, you've nailed question 2 Isi.
That's correct, the two jackals are facing each other.

OK, I have another one. This one's easy!! (although I actually didn't know the answer ):

Question 5
How can you physically stand behind Thoth, while he's standing behind you?

Erm...if he's standing facing away from you, ie back to back?

Ok, my guess for the Meryet's sons one...do they have to be biological? I was thinking that one of the sons may be adopted. But I may be wrong.

'Question 1'

Maybe Bastet used her cat brain and put wine direct in the basket?

I know the felluca one! The answer is...your name! You're the driver!

The only thing I can think of that would make the basket lighter is helium, but I'm sure that's wrong...

Now I'm in the mood but I'll restrain myself and toss in only one, and it's a pretty easy one.

A man named Nakht had to walk for an hour under a rare heavy rain on an open road, without anything to cover his head. Yet, his hair did not get wet. How is this possible?
