For most crimes women (and the very young, the very old, and the infirm) could commute corporal punishment with cash payment. The only exception was a kind of sorcery (qu) involving the collecting of poison from scorpions and other venomous insects, which seems to have been regarded as a particularly female crime.
Ivory poaching for tusks is the main reason that elephants have been so heavily hunted. Elephant ivory has been used in huge amounts to make billiards balls, piano keys, identification chops and many other items for human enjoyment.here is also a display element to tusks and they can attract the interest of females. Evidence suggests that elephants normally prefer one tusk over the other, similar to being left or right handed in humans. The preferred tusk is known as the master tusk.
False! Only the tusks are made of ivoryâan extremely dense dentine covered with a carveable calcified rind called cementum. The rest of the elephantâs teeth are made from enamel, dentin and pulp, like ours.nly two thirds of the elephantâs tusk is made of ivory and is visible while the elephant is living. The base of the tusk is embedded in the skull and made of pulp, blood and nerves âlike the roots of our own teeth.
