Saw The Mummies exhibit at AMNH before it closed. Learned: Canopic jars were used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the viscera of their owner for the afterlife. They were commonly either carved from limestone or were made of pottery; Cartonnage is a type of material used in Ancient Egyptian funerary masks from the First Intermediate Period to the Roman era. It was made of layers of linen or papyrus covered with plaster. Some of the Fayum mummy portraits are also painted on panels made of cartonnage..
75% sale since the exhibit is ending. $6.
Stopped in and saw Our Senses. Lots of interesting stuff about how our senses are limited.
Super "Wolf" moon. Later, this month, there will be a Blue Moon.
