Here’s your dose of Egyptian History for the week.

This past weekend was a good one for posts on Ancient Egypt. My readers will know that I have been on an “Ancient Egypt” kick for a while now, and that I am listening to the Egyptian History Podcast, which is just wonderful. Here are a couple of good posts that showed up for me. For the second one, you will need to click on it to view the video.

How have these colors survived for thousands of years?

The Temple of Khnum at Esna, about 50 km south of Luxor, still preserves its vivid painted reliefs thanks to durable mineral pigments and centuries of burial under protective layers of soot and dust. pic.twitter.com/kiIkcQEqgO

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse!

The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.
