Did you know Genoans knew of America before it was on official maps or "discovered" by Columbus?

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺

This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.

Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

So sad to hear about the passing of Rob Reiner and his wife. He directed my all time favourite film ever, When Harry Met Sally and of course, the iconic Princess Bride. Awful news.
