Very widespread theory in Hungary that the source of tarot is Egypt. According to this idea some papyrus or stone tables are found in a Egyptian tomb of a priestess called Sameref. I would like to ask the readers of this forum to share any information or thoughts about this topic. I have the following informations (mainly from the Tarot book of Fatima Kazanlar, who is the daugther of Dr. Emil Kazanar, the author of Kazanlar Tarot):
- Sameref was an Isis priestess
- she has been buried at 30-40 BC in the Velley of The Kings, in Egypt
- her tomb was revelaed in the XVIII. century
- the artefacts were delivered to Paris, and bought by Antoine Cour de Gebelin
- today the artefacts can be seen in a museum in Paris
(i think in "Musée national des Arts d'Afrique et d'Océanie" or in a similar one)
- also i found the name "Sameref" in second card of "Tarot de la Transicion" deck

Thanks for anyone who write here or try to look after.
