    This is the most in depth study on Natasha that I've come across. Very good, but I came across looking into this woman from an entirely different direction which was Alexadre Piankoff and I'm wondering if the story is finished. One thing missing from other sources is that Natasha learned of the Rodoloph Valinento's death by telegram and spent three days locked in her room. Not sure if that is true and your research might be better than the skimpy things I've read. Meanwhile Natasha while working for the Bollingen Foundation edited four works by Piankoff and actually contributed a chapter to one of them, "MYTHOLOGICAL PAPYRI" published in 1957 . Based on your piece here I might wonder if she did not help Piankoff get rights to decipher the many inscriptions and art work of the chinise puzzle box like shrine that held King Tut-Ankh-Amon's sarcophagus. it would of been attack from two directions as Piankoff had studied under Kurt Sethe, the one who was the go to expert for the decipherment of the Pyramid Text after he took control of the project after Maspero who discovered the Tomb of Unas. Howard Carter discovered the boy king's tomb in 1922, but decipherment of the shrine box did not see it's first publication until Piankoff published the work in 1955 in a book called "THE SHRINES OF TUT-ANKH-AMON, Texts Translated with Introduction by Alexandre Piankoff. Edited by N. Rambova". A year earlier they brought to publication "THE TOMB OF RAMSES THE IV", both important because both contained the 19th and 20th Dynasty myth called "The book of the Heavenly Cow" also known as "The Destruction of Mankind" from which elements of the Myth are easily detectable in the Pyramid Text of King Unas of the 5th Dynasty . Now Maspero was able to start publishing his findings in French by 1884, three years after unsealing the tomb in 1881 and continued to publish all the way up 1894 as more tombs with Text were discovered, but at some point Sethe was put in charge of the project and things slowed significantly, meanwhile both Maspero and Sethe's works are very hard to get hold of. The first English translation of the Pyramid Text was published by Mercer in 1952 and then Faulkner in 1969. However, Piankoff with Natasha again editing wrote "THE PYRAMID OF UNAS" in between Mecer and Faulkner and it was published shortly after Piankoff died suddenly on a trip to Brussels from Egypt to see family, approximately six weeks after Natasha died in California. The Bollingen Foundation included this comment in the forward of the book. "When Alexadre Piankoff died suddenly on July 20, 1968 he had partially read the galley proofs of this volume and had examined and corrected the first stage of the plates. Bollingen Foundation is indebted to Bernard Vl Bothmer for seeing the publication through the press subsequently. He arranged and captioned the pictorial plates, rechecked and perfected the presentation of the textual plates, corrected the text as necessary, and supplied the Finding List of Utterances and Spells. No alteration were made that were not consistent with the author's previous publications and evident intentions." Sounds good if you wish to trust it. Me not particular so and it's not solely because he died a short month and half after she did. There is a total lack of clarity on the various translations of the Pyramid Texts. Mostly done through structure in presentation and omission though Piankoff concentrates just on Unas and uses the Kings' name through out which greatly helps to understand the text. The other two do not use the kings name and make it difficult to see where one tomb ends and the next begins. The ordering of Utterances change making it difficult to refer back from one translation to the next. While Piankoff, follows Mercer, Faulkner manages to jumbles the numbers and jumbles them again in a second edition. All of them though are in agreement on what the text say, even their commentary is the generally the same, so in that regard they all work. Later Allen will come in with a new translation which appears to be the standard as his book is the only one being published today. He brings clarity by separating one tomb to the next but then he goes and changes the utterances through a very liberal use of meanings and his numbering is such a way that agreement between the translators fairly much vanishes. Essentially a mess has been made and it's not easy to sort. At the bottom of this mess is the Flood Hymn, most importantly Utterance 254. None give it mention but to say Unas was speaking of a prophecy, but not a word more. Nor does the Papyrus Hymn get mention, most importantly Utterance 271, then far separated at Utterance 302. (these are all the same in Mercer, Piankoff and Faulkner. Allen does not do 271 & 302, nor does he do Unas claiming Sekhemt (Hathor's lion form) as his mother. "Utterance 254 276: To say the words: "The Great (Uraeus) fumigates the Bull of Nekhen (Hierakonpolis). The heat of the fiery breath is against you, you who are about the shrine (kAr)! O Great God whose name is unknown, (bring) at once a meal of the Unique Lord. O lord of the Horizon (Ax.t), make place for Unas. If you fail to make place for Unas, Unas will pronounce a curse against his father Geb: the earth shall not speak any more; Geb shall not be able to defend himself. (He) whom Unas finds on his way, he will eat him piecemeal. The hnt-pelican announces (sr), the ennead(psD.t)-pelican comes out. The Great One rises. The enneads speak: completely dammed-off shall be the land. 279: The two ridges of the mountain (on both sides of the Nile valley) shall be united. The two banks of the river will be joined. The roads will be hidden from the passers-by. The steps (rwd.w) will be annihilated for those who go up. Make tight the rope (of the boat), sail the road of heaven! Strike the ball on the meadow of Hapi (Apis)!" Not to worry, all of the translators abide by the little foot note that says the above is but some sort of prophecy and none make attempt to explain further even though reading a fair few lines latter there's this little oddity. 293: the heart of Unas be glad (sweet), the heart of Unas be glad (sweet). Unas is the Unique One, the Bull of Heaven. He has exterminated those who did this against him, he has annihilated their offspring upon earth. And another that seems to be paired with the above but again separated by other text, Utterance 271 387 "To say : 'I, king Unas, have inundated the land which came forth from the lake, I have torn out the papyrus-plant, I have satisfied the Two Lands, I have united the Two Lands, I have joined my mother the Great Wild Cow.'" Utterance 302 462 There is no word against me on earth among men, there is no accusation in the sky among the gods, for I have annulled the word against me, which I destroyed in order to mount the sky. There are other minor refences in Unas's Pyramid Text to Unas flooding the Nile but as best I can see so far all of Egyptology is in agreement that there is no "history" in the pyramid text, only myth and ritual yet I'd challenge anyone to say you are not reading definitive claims of actions done by King Unas. Meanwhile every one of the translators were familiar with "The Book of Heavenly Cow" as it appeared in the tomb of King Seti I and Ramses II and III's tomb. Piankoff for sure as it was in the tomb of Ramses VI and King Tutankhamon's tomb which he wrote about, but makes no effort in the book to make the obvious connections that the myth is in part based on King Unas even though it's roots go back further back at least till the time of Heliopolis became the cult center of Re. What "The Book of the Heavenly Cow" does is to establish the Right of Kings to Rule and annihilate all rebels and that is likely what is wished not to be put out in the public and I would not at all be surprised that Piankoff was going to nudge the notion out a bit more for people to see but instead his book when finally published 2 years after his death doesn't and only offers a little more clarity to a very confusing subject and like Mecer and Faulkner both in the end reads the same, so one should ask what was the point? And no we shouldn't judge Unas too harshly though he seems totally void of any humanity, nor Egypt or any nations that have had Kings and Aristocracies, there contributions have been much the world over especially when they have been benevolent rulers, though with that last, you will find none with King Unas. There is of course more to all this but I'll leave off for now and you might consider deleting this comment as it might put your wonderful video at risk. And if you can't you can leave a message and I'll do it.

      Thank you for this very informative comment! I struggled to find out the specific details of Natacha's work with Piankoff, so it's great to have all this information. My sources for this video were a biography of Natacha called 'Madame Valentino' written by Michael Morris, and a follow up to that called Beyond Valentino which goes into even further detail about her later life and work, also by Michael Morris. Natacha's own memoir of her marriage to Valentino is available on Archive.org for free, as are books about her. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

    What Truman Capote did to these socialite women who confided to him with everything they were dealing with in their lives for years was dispicable; then he turned on them so painfully shows the kind of man he really was and these women weren't aware or smart enough to see it. His voice and character was that of a little man in every way and these women had everything but common sense to realize that. He was a brilliant writer but not a decent man. Jean Mooney

    It is so interesting. Watching the series, “Feud,” I realized that there was no character on it that I liked particularly or would want to know. Their lives all seemed so unhappy, and nobody exhibited any signs of real authenticity or integrity. Yet, I was riveted to the story, perhaps because I connected with the characters through their humanity. We have all had times in our lives when we realized that we were not living in any genuine way. In these times, it is easy for a person to change their lifestyle and pursue one that is more authentic, but in those days, that was a lot more difficult. I eventually realized that these women were presented as having the luckiest, most fulfilled lives of any people in the world - the kind of woman that every young woman should aspire to become. Young women growing up were taught that they were somehow “less than” if they did not live up to those standards. We were so fortunate to have other role models as we grew up. Eleanor Roosevelt’s mother probably came from this same model of how a woman should be. She was immensely successful socially in her day, and she seems to have pitied little Eleanor for not living up to the mark. How fortunate Eleanor was to have educational opportunities that showed her other options. And how fortunate we were to have a role model like Eleanor.
