When sages look'd to Egypt for their lore.-Keats
Pent
It's not squalid,
Though in nooks and crannies
The poor make it so.
Rather, order prevails,
Solid homes with manicured grounds,
Millions of them;
And billions will be,
Soon as born to acquire
A three bedroom with detached garage
Circling the Earth!
Not so for now!
Rather up wards in multistory
Elevated bunkbed niches
With views of views.
Keats would despair,
Not like that was unusual,
For Keats about Keats.

Games on soon...on the radio...I open Keats and avoid, postpone, my tasks...a luxury he didn't have...time I'm saying...but wait...where was his briar patch?...happy place?
✨️authors that made Keats happy
✨️✨️bewilderment negative capability
Keats famously argued that writers like William Shakespeare possessed this trait enormously. Rather than forcing their personal beliefs or logical resolutions into their plays, they let their characters exist in complex, unresolved, and ambiguous realities
🎶to bewilder, or be bewildered
🧐In older English (and as the root of the word "bewilder"), wilder is a verb that means to lose one's way or to become hopelessly confused and puzzled. [

🎶So, so I happen on the idea that Moses was made to wander in the Saudi Arabian desert, and Mt. Sinai is a volcano thereabout...

my thought too, even though said the fence stones are only a foot or two high, gaps in places...and then he said the animals could be guided by a long fence leading to cliff...?...a question I have is if they had dogs...the Egyptians had dogs, nomadic herdsman have dogs, hunters too to this day...sheep dogs are like genius...these archaeological vloggers dont attend to questions in the comments, or for that, commentators to one another...no matter...finding things much fun...were there domestic herding dogs in ancient saudi arabia?✨️...🍿
were there domestic herding dogs in ancient saudi arabia?
Yes. In fact, archaeological discoveries in Saudi Arabia feature some of the oldest evidence of dog domestication and dog-assisted human activity in the world. [1, 2]
While there is less evidence of them serving as traditional "herding" dogs (managing flocks of sheep or goats like border collies), they were actively kept for other practical purposes and companionship. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Ancient Evidence of Domestic Dogs in Arabia
• Earliest Known Dog Burial: Archaeologists in the AlUla region of northwestern Saudi Arabia found the remains of a dog buried alongside humans dating back roughly 6,000 years. The dog’s bones showed signs of advanced arthritis and aging, suggesting it lived a long life and was cherished and fed by its owners rather than just kept as a working animal. [1, 2, 3]Prehistoric Rock Art: Rock carvings (petroglyphs) at sites like Jubbah and Shuwaymis, estimated to be up to 8,000 to 9,000 years old, depict packs of medium-sized dogs assisting humans with hunting. [1, 2, 3]Leashes and Control: In some of these rock art scenes, lines are carved connecting the necks of the dogs to the hunters’ waists, representing the earliest known evidence of the use of leashes. [1, 2]
What Did These Dogs Do?
Ancient inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula used these domestic dogs primarily for hunting rather than herding. The dogs depicted in the rock art closely resemble the modern Canaan dog, a hardy, basal breed that has survived in the Middle East for millennia. While the Canaan dog can exhibit natural guarding and herding instincts (and the ancient people of Jubbah were keeping livestock like goats and cattle), the visual depictions primarily show them as agile hunting companions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
🎶reply to that comment to the yt vlog about Saudi archaeoligy- the low rock enclosures being family pens for stock-gazelles, cows, I paused, took it on...the vlog said it was a mystery, the stone fences too low for pens...and I went off with my dogs...this is where this post was to start-titled "Dogs"!...or some such...the people there did indeed have dogs...the stone pens have the look of Nasca lines...things to be seen from the air...the Nasca moved stones...in the Saudi desert, people there piled them into fences, low walls-purpose unknown-speculations wannabes!...some go right up the sides of volcanos, and there are lots of volcanos and lava fields...archaeology thereabout very new...and there, lots of it!...aand, I found there the oldest rock art of dogs with leashes...this goes together with the leashed Egyptian dogs...over time, the leash to become the Egyptian red sash..

You are connecting two of the most significant archaeological discoveries regarding the history of dogs and human companionship. Both link ancient desert hunting dogs with pricked ears, curled tails, and specialized leashes or harnesses. [1, 2]
Saudi Arabia Rock Art: The World's Oldest Leashes
• Location: Northwestern Saudi Arabia at the Jubbah and Shuwaymis rock art sites. [1]Age: Etched between 8,000 and 9,000 years ago during the Neolithic period. [1]The Leash Detail: Researchers found 147 hunting scenes depicting humans hunting with packs of dogs. Two dogs in the engravings have lines physically connecting their necks to the hunter's waist, representing the absolute oldest known evidence of dogs being walked on a leash. [1, 2, 3]Breed Type: The dogs in the carvings closely resemble the modern Canaan dog (a desert-dwelling feral breed) with pricked ears, short snouts, and curled tails. [1, 2]
Egyptian Dogs and the "Red Sash"
• Ancient Depictions: The ancient Egyptians extensively used slender, pointed-ear sight hounds (often referred to as the Tesem) for desert hunting. [1, 2, 3, 4]The Red Sash: In Egyptian art, these canines were often portrayed wearing wide collars or leashes, sometimes colored red (a "red sash" or "red collar"). The specific red color marking or collar likely indicated that the dog was highly prized, belonged to royalty or nobility, or was highly trained. [1, 2, 3]

✨️did Moses have dogs?
- The Ten Commandments (1956 Film): If you are thinking of the classic film, Moses (played by Charlton Heston) had two shepherd dogs named Turfa and Khataf. In the movie, they help him protect the flocks and find Joshua in the cleft of Mount Sinai. [1, 2]
If you are curious about the cultural significance of dogs in the ancient Near East, let me know. I can provide more details on how they were treated or why the biblical text often views them with disdain!

✨️egypt keats hyperion
In his uncompleted epic poem Hyperion, John Keats uses an Egyptian reference to describe the fallen Titaness, Thea. He compares her sorrowful, gigantic face to the Memphian Sphinx, noting that it stood in a palace court "When sages look'd to Egypt for their lore."
