it is so strange to me when people tell me they never had an ancient egyptian phase…like, what did you even do during your childhood? 

this is oddly specific?? and over 3000 people relate???

Definitely had one when I was 11 or 12. And a few minor resurgences when I started watching Stargate SG-1 and when I was cast as the Pharaoh in a certain Andrew Lloyd Webber musical…

Mine started pretty early and I haven’t quite given it up yet; I got interested in it when I was like five or six. Got to see the Tutankhamen and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit when it was in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art back in 2005. I have so many books on ancient Egypt, including a few hieroglyphic dictionary volumes. My obsession has gotten me into trouble just a bit: one time there were statues of Anubis outside the Denver International Airport, I pointed them out and proceeded to inform everyone within earshot that Anubis was the god of mummification (though younger me probably simplified it as “god of death”). Needless to say, my parents gave me a quick lecture about not mentioning death in an airport.
