Grocery store bags used to be free and you wanted to trash them. Then they became illegal. Now you have to pay for them as a penalty and are so nice you don’t want to trash them.
4,500 year old Egyptian dress that was painstakingly reassembled from approximately 7,000 beads which were found in an undisturbed tomb in Giza, Egypt.
The dress is thought to have belonged to a female contemporary of King Khufu (2589-2566 BC). The original strings had disintegrated over the years but the beads were still in their original position, which allowed for an accurate reconstruction. The color of the beads had faded, but they were originally blue and turquoise.
The dress was not put together for more than 60 years after it was discovered in 1927 by Harvard University.
