An ancient Egyptian crocodile that bites! 🐊 More than 3,000 years ago, someone carved this crocodile from wood and gave it a movable jaw. Perhaps a child’s toy, it offers a small glimpse into the playful side of ancient life. From Thebes, c. 1540-1075 BC Neues Museum Berlin 📷 me #Archaeology

My photo shows an ancient Egyptian wooden crocodile with a movable lower jaw, resting on a white museum display surface. The elongated crocodile is carved to show its rough textured body, with carved scales along its back, raised eyes, and a hinged mouth with the jaw extended open. Perhaps it was once a toy. From Thebes, Egypt. Dated to the New Kingdom, 1540-1075 BC.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Admitting you've been in a reading slump is the first step to recovery, right? I hate I've lost the ability to read anything and everything, tried rereading favs, going back to authors I've enjoyed/read easily, & binged some tv shows. Halloween Bingo is coming up, hopefully that can get me out!

Perfunctory "good girl" cut & paste, has drowned me in its tides. IMHO, if you want to read high heat driven by emotion, Cara McKenna for erotic/a and Alisha Rai's Forbidden Hearts series for contemporary. I read historical for a different vibe but Kate Pearce has had high heat I've enjoyed.
