Dictionary.com's definition of museum is "a building or place in which works of art, scientific specimens, or other objects of permanent value are preserved and displayed." What better place to find a permanent item of value than a graveyard. I searched four museums and couldn't find anything that piqued my interest in my humanities studies until it finally hit me, a cemetery I had passed countless times as a child and had never really thought about. At the corner of Cypresswood and I-45 I began poking around a cemetery that I had no real interest in, or so I thought. The cemetery housed around sixteen graves but one particularly interested me. The gravestone read Friedrich August Wunsche, Geb 20 July 1837, Gest 3 May 1897. I decided on this gravestone for its architecture and the time period of the person it commemorated, it is the only surviving piece in which this man will be remembered from . A shrine of sorts to his life, this man lived in the union, probably fought for the confederacy, and then died when the United States was united again. I really chose this particular headstone because it was different from the others, most were designed in a more secular way, with engraved hearts or just simple block headstones with initials engraved into them. The cemetery ranged from very ornate with multiple parts and different writing to the simpler headstones as described above. The tombstone was in the shape of an obelisk similar to that of the Egyptians we studied. This seemed like an odd occurrence, as the rest of the head stones seemed to be of the standard variety. I think this headstone was quite well made as it has survived for over a hundred years with only minor architectural flaws. When really… halfway down the card… you found an even more interesting parallel, Geb is also an Egyptian god, specifically the Egyptian god of the Earth. This eliminates the answer to life's other two questions: "What are we?" and "What's the point?" This gravestone answers all the questions, even if it sends a sort of mixed message about what the point is and what we are. If the deceased believed in Geb, it is very likely that he answered his personal question by thinking that he was the servant of an Egyptian god and had to serve that master in all aspects of his life, even honoring Geb with the design of his tomb . On the other hand, Friedrich might have believed that the true answer to these questions was that we are human beings, placed on earth by God as his children, alive to serve him. The foundations for the Christian faith were formed already during Friedreich's lifetime.
