A mosaic glass technique allowed multiples of an image to be created: a figural or design composition was made by bundling colored glass canes, which were then drawn out into a long bar . The bar was then sectioned at right angles, probably by striking the bar with appropriate tools, to produce small inlay tiles. The tile would then be smoothed and polished on the face intended to appear outwards.

Period: Ptolemaic Period–Roman Period

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 6217 : Many spiral galaxies have bars across their centers. Even our own Milky Way Galaxy is thought to have a modest central bar. Prominently barred spiral galaxy NGC 6217, featured here, was captured in spectacular detail in this image taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in 2009. Visible are dark filamentary dust lanes, young clusters of bright blue stars, red emission nebulas of glowing hydrogen gas, a long bar of stars across the center, and a bright active nucleus that likely houses a supermassive black hole. Light takes about 60 million years to reach us from NGC 6217, which spans about 30,000 light years across and can be found toward the constellation of the Little Bear (Ursa Minor). via NASA

Hundreds of mummies and pyramid of an unknown queen unearthed near King Tut's tomb

Just a stone’s throw from King Tut’s tomb, archaeologists have unearthed the pyramid of a never-before known ancient Egyptian queen; a cache of coffins, mummies and artifacts; and  a series of interconnected tunnels.

For the past two years, archaeologists have been working at Saqqara, an archaeological site in Giza, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Cairo. Recently, they discovered a trove of coffins and mummies, which may belong to some of King Tut’s closest generals and advisors during his reign (1333 B.C. until his death in 1323 B.C.).

Archaeologists also focused their attention on a nearby pyramid, which belonged to Teti, the first king of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt. Read more.

Waking up every morning just to read more of the Laundry Lists and Love Songs by A.G. McDowell and find out the hot new village gossip including:

"This Guy Keeps Having Affairs With People's Wives Please Make Him Pinkie Swear He'll Stop"

"I Gave This Dude Stuff So He Could Buy Me A Donkey But He Keeps Bringing Me The Worst Asses I've Ever Seen"

"Half My Kids Suck So They Get Nothing From Me Also This One Daughter Is On Fucking Thin Ice"

"Hey This Is MY Government Assigned Family Tomb GTF Out"

"Why Is Your Son So LAZY?"

"This Worker Guy Is Also A Doctor So He's Excused From Work Bc People Keep Getting Sick"

"I Keep Trying To Move In With This One Woman And She Keeps Tossing My Stuff On The Street Whyyyyy"

"I Know We Haven't Hit Ground Water Yet But We Did Another Survey And I Promise If We Just Dig A Liiiiittle Further We'll Actually Have A Well (they did not get a well, they got a large very dry hole in the ground filled it with trash)"

"OMG It RAINED!!!!"

honestly teared up though when a dad answers his daughter's worries of where she'll live (if her husband leaves her) by telling her he may not own his house but he BUILT this one storeroom himself and NO ONE IN THE LAND will throw her out of that

12/10, excellent book so far

It truly is an excellent book, and I don't think I've made a better purchase. If you want to know what the Ancient Egyptians were like outside of a tomb context, especially textual sources, then really that's your book. Deir el Medina is every small village/town you've ever known, and humans haven't changed at all.
