    Nice video @Aidan_() !

    That's some pretty sweet anatomy displayed on that ancient coin! The got the bands of cartilage in the treachea and everything. Just need to rotate that heart a tad and it would be spot on!

    Alas, I have no Nektanebos to share (What a great name! What cool coins!)

    In my lunchbox, however, I do have some Nekot cookies.

    Close as I can get, I'm afraid.

    Will this work? ;)

    PS- nice video, and the explanation of the unusual design was helpful. I've seen these (only in pictures, obviously), and it never really dawned on me what that curious design was all about.

    Oh- and congrats on the Featured Article.

    Why thank you! Hey, if it it's close it works, didn't know the Egyptians were peanut butter lovers. ;)

    Assuming the attribution is correct, he needed to pay Greek soldiers, but his authority was supported by the priesthood, who did read hieroglyphs. A conservative and highly nationalistic priesthood might have considered it both unpatriotic and sacrilegious to put Greek characters on the money, the gold from which it was made perhaps being supplied at least in part by the temples.
