@MrHumpty_ @RxRedpill How would you feel if your wife saw this post?

If you wouldn’t say it to her, don’t say it at all.

What a gross thing to say about a woman who gave you 30 years of her life.

@gaudall @CBCNews For that purpose the dose would be so minimal, it would be impossible for that quantity to be fatal.

This is a 3,200 year old attendance sheet from Ancient Egypt. The limestone ostracon covers 280 days of the year with a list of 40 different names and dates written in black. The notes in red are the reasons for being absent, which include the following:

1. Drinking with Khonsu
2. His daughter was bleeding
3. Libating to his father
4. Brewing beer
5. Building his house
6. Fetching stone for the scribe
7. With Khons making remedies
8. Making remedies for the scribe's wife
9. Suffering with his eye
10. Embalming Hormose
11. Strengthening the door
12. Embalming his brother
13. His wife is bleeding
14. The scorpion bit him
15. His feast
16. Offering to the god

The one that stood out to me the most was "drinking with Khonsu", which doesn't seem to be as eye-catching as some of the others ones that involve embalming, bleeding, offering, making remedies, and getting bit by a scorpion. I guess it stood out to me because it seemed so mundane in that I never thought about Ancient Egyptians having a beer with each other and just hanging out.

I know we all tend to gravitate towards the pyramids, pharaohs, mummies and the overall mysterious grandeur of Ancient Egypt, but I've been more fascinated about what regular life was like back then. People just going about their business, working, socializing, cooking dinner, etc.

Who was this Khonsu guy anyway? What was his job? Did he have a job? Was Khons short for Khonsu? Were they the same person?

This attendance sheet was probably just boring bureaucratic paperwork back then, but quite delightful to read 3,200 years later. I find comfort in the fact that humans haven't changed much and grabbing a drink with a buddy was a legit excuse to miss work back then. I do wonder if all these excuses were true or if some were made up to conceal the real reasons. I guess we'll never know…
