Archaeological Excavations at
Abusir el-Malek, 1903
The necropolis of Abusir el-Malek, Beni Suef, Middle Egypt, was excavated by Otto Rubensohn (1867-1964) in four archaeological campaigns between 1902 and 1905.
Despite the rich finds of grave goods, including even fully upscale grave items, these have remained largely unpublished.
It is the most difficult thing in the world to distinguish between genuine stupidity, and that apparent and deceitful stupidity which is the sign of a strong character.

Photo by @FransLanting Jaguars are the largest cats in the Americas, but this male was exceptionally massive. I photographed him in Brazil’s Pantanal. #Wild #brazil #Nature #Wildlife #Animals #Wildeyesa #Jaguar #Pantanal #Natures #BigCats #Earthcapture #Saveleopards #IgscWildlife (at Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3pYqBLiGn/?igshid=jsh8flhx2hw4
it makes it 100% better that i can’t understand her, i feel like i’m hearing what cats hear
Heh, she’s speaking Portuguese! Here’s what she’s saying:
*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”
Luis Roberto and Jurandir are people names (Jurandir is especially a name associated with older men) so it’s extra funny that the cats are named that, heh.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
