Oldest 'tattoo art' discovered on Ancient Egyptian mummies

Oldest Preserved Dead Body


















New research rewrites the history of tattooing...

Researchers found a tattoo on the upper arm of this Egyptian mummy. He is thought to have lived around 5,000 years ago and was between 18 and 21 years old when he died from a stab wound to the back.

(CNN)The world's oldest figurative tattogos have been discovered on two 5,000-year-old mummies from Egypt.

Tattoos depicting a wild bull and a Barbary sheep were found on the upper arm of a male mummy, while the shoulder and upper arm of a female mummy bore "S" shaped motifs.

The find, details of which are published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, pushes back evidence for the tattooing in Africa by 1,000 years, and it overturns the belief that only women were tattooed in Predynastic Egypt -- the era before the country's unification by the first pharaoh at around 3100 BCE.

The symbols being tattooed are quite extraordinary," Daniel Antoine, one of the lead researchers in the project and British Museum's curator of physical anthropology, tells CNN.

The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566.

Image
The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566. In the Habsburg-Ottoman war from 1551 to 1562, the Ottomans besieged Siget (Hungarian: *SzigetvĆ”r)* in the spring of 1556, but the defenders under the command of Mark Stančić (Hungarian: HorvĆ”th Stancsics MĆ”rk) managed to defend the fort. In August 1561, Marko Stančić died, and in September of the same year Count Nikola IV Zrinski (Hungarian: ZrĆ­nyi MiklĆ³s) was appointed as the new captain of Siget, at his own request. The conflict between the Ottoman vassal and the pretender to the Hungarian throne, Duke of Transylvania Sigismund Zapolya and the Czech, Hungarian and Croatian king Maximilian II. Habsburg, and the failure of the siege of Malta in 1565, influenced the decision of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to break the truce concluded in 1562. At the age of 72 he undertakes the 13th campaign for his 45-year reign. The victory of the Croatian ban Petar Erdody near Obreska on September 10, 1565, over the army of the Bosnian Sandj...

PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state categorically that the Delta State Government DID NOT Borrow N40 billion. And the Sheriff Oborevwori administration has not borrowed any dime till now. The records are there for anybody who cares for the truth to verify. What the Oborevwori administration did was to graciously guarantee a N40b loan facility for ALGON, to enable it offset the unpaid pension liabilities of retired Local Government personnel. Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

What a shame ! Dangers of marrying already made men ; 1. They don’t change for any woman. If you found him taking alcohol, he will continue.  If you found him womanizing he will continue womanizing that comfort zone cannot be abolished by marriage. 2. You will have little say on what he has. When an already established man marries you, he doesn’t consider you as a person to value but a property to keep.  He will be counting you among the things he owns.  Many girls are treated like things and not humans because they l...

How the Second World War Made America Literate

Image
books into the hands of overseas troops would very soon become far more important—as well as logistically challenging, given the size and weight of hardbacks. The solution was to distribute paperbacks, which had been introduced to the United States by Pocket Books in 1939. At a time when most hardbacks cost two dollars or more—$33 in today’s dollars—Pocket Books printed 38 million 25-cent paperbacks in 1943 alone. Its success persuaded other publishers that it would make commercial sense to work with the military on a program to print books for soldiers, the assumption being that to do so would create a new market for inexpensive paperback reprints after the war. Thinking along closely similar lines,  Time , the  New Yorker , and other magazines created miniaturized “pony editions” for servicemen. Thus, the Armed Services Editions, which were published by a civilian organization called the Council on Books in Wartime—compact, oblong, two-column-wide paperbacks that were design...
