The earliest known alphabetical sentence ever written reads, "May this tusk root out the lice of the hair and the beard."
It was inscribed on a 3700-year-old ivory comb unearthed at Tel Lachish in Israel. Sure enough, there was dried-out louse stuck between the teeth of the comb.

Oh and if anyone has suggestions on cross posting threads between Twitter and Mastodon, that'd be useful
This attempt failed (using the cross posting tool) and I had to do it manually. While I think my interactions should be platform specific, I'd like my curated #archaeogy threads to easily post on both
Excitedly I woke up to an email with digitized copies of two issues of a very hard-to-find occult magazine that I've been trying to track down, for its Brother XII content 👀
One interesting inclusion is an explanation for the triangle symbol. B12 sometimes signed off with a little triangle symbol, as seen in the example on the left (1927). I wondered what that meant. Fortunately he shares an explanation in one of the the new-to-me magazine articles (1927)! #Archaeogy #HistoricalArchaeology
