The oval surrounding their name was meant to protect them from evil spirits in life and after death. The cartouche has become a symbol representing good luck and protection from evil. Egyptians believed that one who had their name recorded somewhere would not disappear after death. A cartouche attached to a coffin satisfied this requirement.
A single mole can construct 200 mounds over the course of a winter. (Drawing by Jenifer Rees.) Moles construct two kinds of tunnels: surface tunnels and deep tunnels, or runways. Surface tunnels are located 1 to 4 inches below the surface.
It is usual to have around 10 to 40 moles by adulthood, either as single entities or in groups. Moles can form in any location of the body but they tend to occur more often in areas that are frequently exposed to sunlight especially the arms, face, chest, hands and neck.
