If support for Israel is no longer de rigueur in New York, it may soon not be obligatory in Washington. That is good news for Palestinians

Love those huge eyes.

So the first image is of an unknown wise man, unknowingly caught up in a misidentification episode with a dodgy copper dealer.

The image that gets used for Ea-Nassir (pic 1) is about 1000 years too old to be him. Pic 2 and 3 are dudes from around 1900 BCE, which was Ea-Nasir time.

"Rasmussen disputed some of Merrow’s claims, but admitted he “yelled at Keith.” He also said he and other members of the tour had been using cocaine, and a 30-hour intoxicated period preceded the blowup between Rasmussen and Merrow."

I bet that was fun.

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

It’s Russian.

A very good boy! 🐾🐕😍

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

The Met 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a three quarter profile of an ancient Egyptian figurine of a leaping dog facing left. Carved from ivory, now a warm caramel brown colour with glossy surface. The dogs eyes are outlined in black, the ears are floppy, the mouth is slightly ajar (the inside of the mouth is painted red - not sen in my photo). The front and back legs are outstretched as if running at full speed. A lever under the dog’s chest opens and closes the mouth so that the dog looks as if it’s barking. Dimensions: L 18.2 cm × H 6.1 cm × W 3.6 cm. Dated to Late Dynasty I8, I400-I350 BC, reign of Amenhotep III who was Tutankhamun’s grandfather. The dog is mounted on a thin metal rod in a display case. In the background in the same display case is a ‘galloping’ brown horse, which is the handle of an ancient Egyptian fly whisk or light whip.
