A figurine of a hartebeest, made of flint, found in a cemetery at Hierakonpolis. It dates to the Naqada II period, 3650–3450 BC.
The Naqada culture was a Chalcolithic Predynastic Egyptian culture. Hierakonpolis is a major site for studying this period.

Increasingly convinced that the Golden Wolf (Canis Anthus) is the origin of the deity Inpu, or Anubis. Look at those eyes! Predynastic Saharan culture may have venerated them as they appeared around desert burials.
