For #WorldHippoDay an #Egyptian carving of a Hippo, made 5.000 years ago from calcite.
Hippopotami were regarded as very dangerous animals, but they were also associated with life, regeneration, and rebirth

An #Egyptian perfume vessel in the shape of two trussed #ducks. Trussed ducks were a common offering to the dead. Presumably the vessel was made for the tomb and not to be used in daily life. From Thebes, #Egypt, dating ca. 1580–1550 BC.

In AD 130, probably on the night of 24 October, during the sacred annual festival of the Mysteries of Osiris, the beautiful Bithynian youth, #Antinous, drowned in the Nile and became the last god of the ancient world, worshipped for centuries, throughout the Empire. #Egypt #Rome
