Hi

Please look at this bowl, made in Egypt almost 6000 years ago. Look at it.

I love it. Thank you for your time.

Yeah!!

@thatlittleegyptologist @rudjedet but why tho?

I’m gonna go with that absolutely classic Archaeological hit song:

“Ritual purposes, but in the sense that we know it’s definitely some sort of ritual but not what the fuck the ritual was but likely the act of ‘bringing’ since feet indicate movement in later hieroglyphs for the word ‘to bring’ which also incidentally is a pot on two legs, but this cannot be considered a direct correlation. *20 second instrumental* So yeah, ritual purposes because none of us know what the fuck Pre Dynastic Egypt was doing but it was definitely ritualistic in the same sense that some people having a preferred coffee mug is ritualistic. It’s not spooky we just don’t quite know why they did it.” 

Sometimes you just don’t know why, and that’s history for you.
