Ancient Egypt always seemed to a very young me a very exciting place, but I was scared of actually being there, because historical egyptians were often shown in my pictures with heads of crocodiles, dogs, birds and other animals. I took this to be some sort of occupational hazard in being an egyptian, as they must have existed, or how otherwise could anyone have drawn them?
