Trivia

• Despite being numerous today and iconic of the land, camels were rarely seen animal in ancient Egypt, not even domesticated for most of its history. The donkey as a means of transportation until foreign conquest brought camels in larger numbers, being commonly employed in this manner as early as the Persian dominion, during the twilight period of ancient Egypt.
