A neo-classical portico with eau-de-nil colour illuminations of Egyptian gods taken from a funerary content, including Anubis, Isis and Nephthys. Where the god Osiris would normally be located in this kind of image there is instead an ankh, the symbol for life. This is art of great power and mystery.

Photo by G. Solecki/A. Piętak of a small figurine of a bear carved out of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange. The display lighting makes it glow in places. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2 It was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the museum catalogue ‘’Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished”. In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was ‘Słupcio’,

An ancient Egyptian figurine of a hedgehog blue in colour with dark blue or black bumps to represent the spikes

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺

This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.

Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

The Sogdian palace of Sanjar-Shah was only found about a decade ago, and archaeologists are now excavating it. The latest excitement: murals in dozens of fragments, including an unusual and enigmatic scene of fire worship.

It’s sick that children now need to know this in the United States.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Finished our desert day at Dimeh, & slightly later than planned which meant the risk of driving home in the dark. But also that we were there as the sun god Ra began his nightly descent down into the ground and perilous journey back to towards the new day. It’s not called the magic hour for nothing…

and the petrified wood!
