Turkey and Pork. The first healthy meat choice is not the other white meat, though pork is not a bad second choice at 123 calories and 4 grams of fat per 100 gram serving. Turkey is only 119 calories and a mere 1 gram of fat for the same 110 gram serving. But turkey will make you sleepy, right? Wrong.
Daily Life: Scribes. Even though much ancient Egyptian written material is still extant, it surely represents only a fraction of what originally existed. To produce such a mass, there must have been an impressive arsenal of scribes. In fact the word sesh, scribe, was among the most frequently used titles in ancient Egypt. It is also one of the earliest recorded, and there are representations of scribes carrying the tools of their craft (pigments, water pot, and pen) over their shoulders from various periods beginning with the Old Kingdom.
