Unearthed from a 1,600-year-old Roman-era tomb That's c. 400 AD. Closer to today, than to the time of King Tut...and King Tut was closer to the TFA mummy than to the First Dynasty. Ancient Egypt is really really old. The Great pyrami

I relocated when I was about 30 for love, then again around 40 for the schools, and the last time at 54 to live in California. Each has been good for me and my family. But, in no small part that is because I have always been an outsider.

KBD’s are a hunting dogs. They hold bears in place with personality and it is common for them to work alone. In North America, they are used to “shepherd” bears away from human habitats. For example in the US Park Service link, you can see
