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.
Most people do not develop new regular moles after the age of 30. Adults often develop non-mole growths like freckles, lentigines, âliver spotsâ, and seborrheic keratosis in later adulthood. New moles appearing after age 30 may require close observation, medical evaluation, and possible biopsy. A brand new mole in an adult may be a sign of an evolving abnormal mole or early melanoma. It is important to have any new or changing mole evaluated by your dermatologist.
