This video from the early 20th century shows the jovial, silly behaviour of our predecessors who made the most of tough times. This wonderful, rare glimpse into the human nature of those who came before us is as touching as it is painful. Their like is seen no more.

Considering taking up private (historical) tours of #London and some of it's public houses. I wouldn't advertise much and most would take place through word of mouth but I'll make the public aware every now and then.

This FASCINATED me.
Meet the 'Gebelein Man', from the Predynastic period, around 3500 BC, who was found in #Gebelein, #Egypt & naturally mummified in the dessert sun/sands for 5000 years! Detail such as his hair had me entranced.
The man's death was caused by a stab wound to his shoulder, which would explain the position of his body. Autopsy deciphered he was a strong man who clearly died painfully. Sights like this are well worth the day out.

The following photo's I took on one of my trips of the British Museum. The images are of #Egyptian heigropholic inscriptions depicting God's such as #Horos, Osiris, Debwen, etc & rage (roughly) from 15-1400 BC (Across various pharos/dynasties). By the time Roman forces dominated in 30 BC, they considered #Egypt ancient.
