Getting Closer

The Egyptian government, in its desire to jump start tourism, has been releasing archeological information at a faster pace than it has ever done. This week was a particularly good week for those of you interested in the Old Kingdom.

While this week’s announcement doesn’t approach the time period I write about, the First Dynasty, it does take us back to the Fifth. That alone gives us some

Quotes by Lester Picker (?)

“If ever a living thing in this world differed from a woman, it is the ba of a boy. It is only through the determined efforts of their mothers and caregivers that boys ever mature into men who wash, brush their teeth or sleep in anything other than their filthy clothes atop a dung heap! There, I have said it and recorded it on the holy scrolls, for I swear the following happened.”
― Lester Picker, The Dagger of Isis
