Head of Medusa by Elihu Vedder, 1878. Oil on canvas.

Mut is a goddess of Thebes. Her name has the same root as the Egyptian word for ‘mother’ and this reveals part of her character in that, she is one of the pharaoh’s symbolic mothers. Her iconography is predominantly a slim lady in a linen dress, often brightly coloured blue or red in a pattern suggesting feathers, wearing a head-dress in the shape of a vulture surmounted by the combined crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt. She usually holds the lily sceptre of the south. She is part of the Theban Triad with her consort Amun and child Khonsu.

The best preserved of all quoits (also called dolmens or cromlechs) in Cornwall is Chûn Quoit, located in open moorland near Pendeen and Morvah. The uphill walk is worthwhile because this is perhaps the most visually satisfying of all the quoits. Standing on a windy ridge, near the much later constructed Chûn Castle hillfort, it surveys heather moorland and the open sea. As with the other quoits, the quoit was probably covered by a round barrow (35 ft in diameter), of which much evidence abounds. It was a closed chamber and its mushroom-domed capstone measures 3.3 m (11 ft) by 3 m (10 ft), with a maximum thickness of 0.8 m (2 ft 7 in). It is supported about 2 m (7 ft) from the ground by four substantial slabs. There is evidence of an ...

In east African folklore, the Nandi bear is a creature said to live in East Africa.

Chûn Castle is a large Iron Age hillfort (ringfort) near Penzance in Cornwall. The fort was built around two and a half thousand years ago, and fell into disuse until the 6th century AD when it was possibly reoccupied to protect the nearby tin mines. It stands beside a prehistoric trackway that used to be known as the Old St. Ives Road. Edward Lluyd made a plan of this fort in around 1700 remarking that its structure and security showed, 'military knowledge superior to that of any other works of this kind which I have seen in Cornwall'. What is of note is the fact that the fort has a strategic inner and outer wall and ditch. The remains today are still breathtaking despite the fact that the once twenty-feet-odd walls now stand at arou...
