  The origins of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt trace back to the dawn of Egyptian civilization, around 3100 BCE. Considered one of the oldest writing systems in human history, hieroglyphs emerged as a complex script combining logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements. The early development of this script was intricately linked to the formation of a centralized state, where the need for recording and communication became essential. 
  The earliest evidence of hieroglyphic writing appears on pottery, labels, and stone artifacts from the pre-dynastic period. These rudimentary symbols gradually evolved into more structured and standardized forms during the Early Dynastic period. As Egypt unified under a single ruler, the writing system became an essential tool for administration, religious practices, and the consolidation of royal authority. Early inscriptions on monuments and ceremonial palettes reveal a combination of pictorial symbols and phonetic elements, reflecting both artistic expression and linguistic utility. 
  Throughout the Old Kingdom, hieroglyphs developed significantly in both style and function. They became integral to monumental inscriptions, recording achievements of pharaohs and religious texts. The Pyramid Texts, found within the pyramids of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, are among the oldest religious texts written in hieroglyphs. These inscriptions aimed to ensure the safe passage of the deceased into the afterlife, indicating that the script held profound religious and cultural significance.

  At the age of forty-three, Amy Lee Lillard learned she was autistic. She learned she was part of a community of unseen women who fell through the gaps due to medical bias and social stereotypes. 
   
   
   
  A Grotesque Animal explores the making, unmaking, and making again of a woman with an undiagnosed disorder. How did a working-­class background and a deep-rooted Midwest culture of silence lead to hiding in plain sight for decades? How did sexuality and anger hide the roots of trauma among the women in her family? And what does it mean to be a queer, disabled, aging woman, a descendant of wild but tamed mothers and a survivor of the things patriarchy inflicts? 
   
   
   
  Through wide-ranging styles and a combination of personal storytelling and cultural analysis, Lillard dissects anger, sexuality, autistic masking, bodies, punk, and female annihilation to create a new picture of modern women.

  A lifelong fascination with all things bones. A four-decades-long hunt for the specimens of 2,500+ species past and present. An unwavering desire to preserve, appreciate, and display this rich history of life on Earth. 
  These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
  I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share. 
  Enjoy. And please, never stop being curious, and never stop asking questions – the good ones can lead to the greatest discoveries of mankind.
