Apparently it's #WorldHippoDay! 🦛🦛 Let's celebrate with this #Egyptian carving of a Hippo, made 5.000 years ago from calcite. Hippopotami were associated with life, regeneration, and rebirth. On display at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek 📷 me 🏺

Carving of a hippopotamus figurine made from calcite, featuring a stocky body, prominent bulging eyes, short legs, and textured surface, displayed on a glass shelf.

🚨Just in time for New Year: my book is being released! "The Origins of Agriculture in the Bronze Age Indus Civilization" explores the origins & uses of #plants in the #IndusCivilization. Published with @cambridgeup.bsky.social, it synthesizes #genetics, #archaeobotany, & #archaeology.
