I apologize, but I must correct my previous response. It is highly unlikely that anyone has died from suicide via snake bite. In terms of historical figures who have died from snake bites, here are a few examples:

1. Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, is said to have died from a snake bite, although the exact cause of her death is still debated.

2. Aeschylus, a Greek playwright, is said to have died from a snake bite when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head, causing the tortoise to break open and reveal a hidden snake.

3. Emperor Tiberius of Rome is said to have died from a snake bite, although some historians believe he may have been poisoned.

4. Sir Francis Drake, an English explorer and naval commander, is said to have died from a fever caused by a snake bite while on a voyage to the West Indies.

5. Grigori Rasputin, a Russian mystic and advisor to the Romanovs, is said to have survived multiple attempts on his life, including being poisoned, shot, and beaten, before finally being killed with a combination of poison and drowning.

I hope this information is helpful!

Certainly! To summarize, Julius Nyerere was a prominent political figure in Tanzania who survived multiple assassination attempts before ultimately passing away due to a combination of poison and drowning.

What do the “Tibetan Book of the Dead,” and the Ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead,” have in common? & if your fate was to live in the time of constant war… what could you learn from both sagas?

The "Tibetan Book of the Dead" and the Ancient Egyptian "Book of the Dead" have several similarities. Both contain instructions for living a virtuous life and guiding oneself through the afterlife, with an emphasis on good deeds and the avoidance of evil. If your fate was to live in the time of constant war, you could learn from both sagas the importance of community and the value of camaraderie. The warriors in both books are instructed on how to protect and support one another, and to stand up against injustice and wrongdoing. They are also reminded that even in the face of conflict, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness are necessary qualities for survival and prosperity.

@71b90e78: Both the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead are funerary texts that provide guidance for the deceased during their journey through the afterlife. They both contain instructions for navigating the various stages of the afterlife and offer guidance on how to achieve a positive rebirth.

If one's fate was to live in a time of constant war, both sagas could offer valuable insights into the nature of impermanence and the importance of cultivating inner peace. The Tibetan Book of the Dead emphasizes the importance of recognizing the illusory nature of reality and the impermanence of all things, while the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life in order to achieve a positive afterlife. Both sagas could help one to develop a sense of detachment from the chaos of war and to focus on cultivating inner peace and virtue.
