An Egyptian archaeological team has found prehistoric fishing gear, sewing equipment and jewellery all made from animal bones, as well as pottery and coins, near an oasis south of Cairo, officials said on Tuesday.

"During excavation, the mission found antiquities from the Pharaonic, Greek, Roman and Islamic periods," Hawass said.
The team also found a rare block which dates back to 3150 BC depicting the mythical leader known as the Scorpion King, as well as colourful mosaic plates with engravings of the Fatimid caliph Al-Zafir.

Aww man. That’s just wrong.
I bet it wouldn’t cost three months wages. Or even three hours wages.
That ain’t right.

Assuming that thing actually works it strikes me as sort of ingenious.
Of course it would not be a good craft to cross the Atlantic on.

the mythical leader known as the Scorpion KingI thought that the theory is that the Scorpion King, or King Scorpion, is that last ruler of Upper Egypt in the pre-dynastic period, and the immediate predecessor of Narmer, the first Pharaoh of the first dynasty of the combined kingdom.
