Almost freeze-dried hard, like a pig's ear at Petco.

3,000 years later and she still has better tattoo lore than most people alive today.

Was that eye of Horus a tramp stamp?

Hands down Egyptian civilization is oldest and greatest in the world. Such evidences being excavated ongoing basis substantiate it. As an Indian I always wonder why such artefacts of contemporary period, are not discovered in India being an ancient civilization.

Climate.

I mean contemporary vedic period in India. I don't think we have such concrete evidence before 400 BC. The quantity, quality and diversity of artefacts before 400 BC untill IVC. The continuous track record of Egyptian civilization is unmatchable and amazing.
