There has been a lot of debate over who Egtved Girl was, as isotope analysis indicates they travelled regularly. Were they a foreign bride, an itinerant ritual specialist, or perhaps a wool trader? We may never know for sure. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2024.99

Challenging one rather sentimental stereotype about #AncientEgypt... 🙀
Today, cats are favoured family pets, proudly living lives of luxury within many of our homes. And, if we look back to the distant past, it might initially seem that the ancient Egyptians felt the same way. However, Egyptologist @EgyptMcr suggests that's not quite the case.

Walking through streets of the Nubian village of Elephantine on a hot sunny day. Some of the houses are still built using mudbricks like in ancient Egypt and the streets are not wider. This street level view is entirely missing in archaeological publications. #streetlife #egypt

How do you define intelligence? A perfect SAT score? Being able to speak many languages? Acing a trivia night? When we don’t have a definition for humans, it’s even tougher to define in animals: bit.ly/3RGdQpl
