That's really cool. Beautiful glass.

Trading by the Barter System was the norm throughout Ancient Egypt until the Greeks under Alexander invaded and introduced actual coinage.
So, therefore, the above article would quite easily 100% factual indeed.

@Maiasaura As did the Australian Aboriginals as well, though not quite as expansive though.

Another example of the glory of god.

"Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put those beads... in that tomb. "

The one shown is such a beautiful bead, and how amazing to think that it can be placed to a single workshop. Real solid evidence of trade routes, though by definition the Bronze Age had to have widespread trade networks, since it was vital to bring the two parts of bronze, copper and tin, together, as they are rarely found together naturally. Some people think that it was the breakdown of the trade networks which kick-started the iron age.

Hagar the Horrible was looting an antique shop in Alexandria, and picked them up as a gift for his wife, Helga.

Awesome! As an Egyptologist (hobby, not pro) this is good news! I strongly recommend reading "The Egyptian" and other books that are historically accurate - yet fictional accounts of ancient travellers...by Mika Waltari. I loved his book "The Wanderer" as well.

Trying to think how I would make a glass bead. Rubbing it against something harder until round? Boring a hole in it with a bone and bow rig? Fascinating stuff.

Learned a new word, thanks. ?

Maybe like shotgun pellets: melt the glass, pour it from an elevated tower or rooftop into a tub of water or oil. Liquids in free fall tend to form a perfect sphere due to surface tension.

That’s cool.
