There is something strange to me about using the term teenager when referring to someone in ancient Egypt. There is nothing wrong with it, but seeing it in an article opposed to in casual conversation? New to me.

In other news: time does nothing new. Scientists shocked by decomposition.

I wish this site wasn’t so hard to read. Anyway, as much as I love history, I was more taken by the photographs of nature which would load.

It is fascinating how they have used this evidence to find a place previously considered “fabled”.

However, this part of the article absolutely slays me:

The baboon is the only animal not native to Egypt that is linked with Egyptian deities, Kopp said, and it’s a little odd that ancient Egyptians took such interest in baboons. They tend to steal crops and break into homes looking for food, making them difficult to live with, she said.

“The people who coexist with baboons don’t really like them,” Kopp told Live Science.

I always enjoy discoveries like this, though am often also disappointed by how many people are still surprised by how not new prosthetics are.
