An Egyptian rock crystal of a chonky hinpopotamus amulet
(Middle Kingdom, ca. 2050-1650 BCE)
Amulets were worn by ancient Egyptians for their protective and regenative properties. Used in both in daily life and during funerary rites, amulets represented animals, deities, symbols or objects thought to possess the magical powers of warding off evil spirits.
As animals were popular representations, the hippopotamus was known for its apotropaic (e.g. ability to avert bad luck) qualities and was associated with rebirth.

They aren’t fat at all, that’s all pure muscle! They cannot float, they just run along the bottom of the water!

(I was 4 at the time.)
I was walking with my grandma to the neighborhood's park and when I turned back I was flying in a horizontal starfish position and a cartoony hippopotamus was trying to eat me, and each time he jumped to eat me I flew higher and then I woke up.
(This was a nightmare for 4 year old me.)
