What is it with people keeping huge snakes as pets?by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
It's hard to say, he is on a special diet after urinary tract problems and it seems to agree with him. He's very solid, like most of his bulk is muscle.by Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
Tarquin the Proud? What a fine name for a cat! I bet he's beautiful.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
I believe I described my Timmy back when we got him rather over a year ago as having beautiful champagne colored eyes. He still has the eyes but he's become a solid, muscular figure of cat - a furry Sumo Wrestler. Heavy and very strong. Timmy customarily spends his nights on our screened porch. Occasionally he raises a yowl when another cat passes by. Last night he did rather more. Shortlby Roxana Cooper - Coffee Shop
The AEs seem to have thought so.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
It's not Cordelia by any chance? Perdita was popular in the Eighteenth c. I believe.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
I personally wouldn't care to be named Rowena or Ligeia but it's a matter of taste.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
Who's a pretty boy?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Uh oh. Shakespeare has got some very pretty names, but Poe?by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
It seems to me that several different incidents at different periods are being conflated here. By Manetho obviously and possibly by the Torah.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
As I understand it according to the DNA Smen was a son of AmenIII and Tiye and Tut's mother was his full sister meaning she can't have been Meritaten - which would also explain why Meritaten wasn't backing Tut in the conflict over the succession.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Sounds like we're going to need some kind of radiation shielding, rather lighter than lead, if we want to go places.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
And welcome to the Amarna Tarpits! Smenkhkare existed. We have his body (KV55). He was married to Meritaten but sired his son, Tutankhamun on a full sister. Nefertiti seems a good choice for Neferneferuaten, it was after all her name, but there's evidence she was buried as Queen, not a King in the Amarna Royal Tomb. Meritaten is another choice but there is that box problem. There doesby Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Um, Smenkkhare? Where does he fit in? God knows there was all kinds of crazy at the end of Akhenaten's reign, personally I suspect a disputed succession with Neferneferuaten headquartered in Akhetaten while Tut and supporters returned to Thebes.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
The worst seems to be over, but it's horrible. Anyway you cut it irrepairable damage has to have been done.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
What the Ark of the Covenant is is dangerous. If it really is hidden somewhere it should most emphatically be left there! One is inclined to believe the Deuteronomy description of a wooden ark over the elaborate gold plated article in Exodus but the Israelites apparently had gold with them and gold smiths or they couldn't have built the Golden Calf. Basically what the story says to me isby Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
Oh dear. Those ancient Britons could be quite uncivil. They don't say whether the injuries were pre or post mortem do they? Or did I miss it?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
I'm glad it's in another galaxy!by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
I've heard that too. All I can say is it wasn't the practice in Medieval and Early Modern times. Important and/or wealthy sponsors were most desirable connections for the family and the child but had no standing in cases of orphaning.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
He doesn't answer to Timmy. Wasn't quite clear there was I?by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
Yup. And my current car is named 'Idris', because she's Tardis Blue. But she doesn't answer to it. Neither does Timmy.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
My cat probably thinks his name is 'Pretty Boy'. Actually it's Timmy or Timothy.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
As I understand it traditionally a Christian child was named after or given a name chosen by a godparent. God parents were expected to take an interest in the child's spiritual and physical welfare and was considered a close relative. How much of those old customs survive into modern times I can't say with any certainty. It probably varies according to community.by Roxana Cooper - Humanities
Would I be correct is seeing her name as giving tribute to both Set and Horus? Seems from her monument that she led an interesting life and was very much appreciated by her husband. Pity we can know so little about her.by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Sounds really interesting, and aren't those reliefs lovely?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient Egypt
Isn't science cool?by Roxana Cooper - Ancient History
My sinuses are grateful not to be there.by Roxana Cooper - Laboratory
