Wigs and hairstyles in ancient Egypt.
Most knowledge of hairstyles in ancient Egypt comes from artistic representations such as paintings and sculptures, but some #wigs and natural hair have survived. These provide much information about different styles and their meaning. In ancient Egypt, hairstyles were a way for people to project their identity and convey social status.

This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s.

A Roman brick from Caesarea in modern-day Algeria holds something incredible. A worker left a handprint in the wet clay nearly 2,000 years ago. Even the worker’s fingerprints can still be seen.
The brick is now kept at the Cherchell Archaeological Museum. It gives us a rare connection to an ordinary person who lived during Roman times.

These are the larvae of the Bunaea alcinoe moth, one of the most unusual species of silkworms in the world.
Although they look very menacing because of their large spikes, as well as their red and black colors, in fact these creatures are absolutely safe.

Bomb Pops, the Kansas City invention that defined American summers and patriotic nostalgia.
The red-white-and-blue popsicles are the ultimate shorthand Americana — a throwback to the simple days of ice cream trucks, July 4th fireworks and humid summer nights. Launched July 1955. Some parents revolted over the symbolism of selling a frozen weapon of war to children.
