twincityhacker:wombatking:witch-of-habonim-dror:Hedgehog toy from 1500-1200 BCE. Found at the temple of Inshushinak in the city of Susa, capital of the ancient Elamite civilisation (in modern day Iran).3500 years and still going strong with the cute. I think the best story I can come up with is that a little kid wanted to show that they were really thankful to Inshushinak, that they gave their most precious thing.And Inshushinak thought it was super cool, and it lasted in his temple all this time. Wine goes sour, grain rots, gold is looted, but hedgehogs are cute forever. -- source link
