Adorable ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago!

📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four hippo statuettes made of Egytian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. Their bright-blue shiny bodies are decorated in black with depictions of Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts their marsh habitat as well as having various layers of symbolism associated with regeneration. For example lotus flowers open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It’s thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased. Hippo top left - Walking hippo shown in profile facing right. Height 11.5 cm, Length 21 cm. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Top right - Roaring hippo (looks like the hippo is smiling), seated, with head at left and turned inwards to front. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Bottom left - Standing hippo in profile facing right. This hippo is part of the Met Museum’s collections and is popularly known as ‘William’. Height 11.2 cm, Length 20 cm Bottom Right - Reclining hippo with head on the right, facing front, and tilted down. Egyptian Museum, Cairo

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.
Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

Amazon rainforest trees are resisting climate change by getting fatter from CO2 in the atmosphere
Tree trunks in the Amazon are getting 3.3% thicker every decade as the plants absorb extra carbon dioxide, suggesting they are more resilient to global warming than previously thought.

What a head-scratcher. Appearing in the traditional Mistress of Animals pose (with a fierce split skirt), and holding a bird in each hand, this winged female possesses the head of a Gorgon. Look closely and you’ll see she also has tattoos. Mashup!

Greek, from Kos, 600 BCE. 📸 me #BritishMuseum
Pale beige pottery plate showing a winged goddess with a gorgon's head wearing a split skirt and holding a bird (geese?) in each hand. She’s drawn with reddish-orange outlines, and there are sun symbols and swastika tattoos on her arms and legs, and even floating in the air around her. Greek, from the island of Kos.

A ghostly image of a woman with ‘Botticelli’ hair and a rather revealing outfit appears from the depths of this Roman sardonyx intaglio. She may be Livia, wife of Augustus, or the emperor’s sister, Octavia, perhaps posed as the goddess Venus or Diana. 🏺

30 BCE-20 CE. #BritishMuseum
📸 me
A brown oval stone with orange-yellow highlights reveals an incredibly detailed bust of a woman in profile with somewhat disarrayed and loosely braided hair. She wears a see-through tunic that’s falling off her shoulder. Difficult to see is the spear that is standing upright in front of her. She could be Diana or Venus, and may or may not be a member of the imperial family (although these intaglios and similar cameos were frequently portraits of the Julio-Claudians and Augustus’ inner circle). Thought to be by the imperial engraver, Solon. British Museum (1954,1106.1)
