There's been a recent spate of users leaving comments on stories that praise your work and promise to offer writing feedback as long as you give them your email.
          
          Whatever you do, don't fall for this trick. If they actually enjoyed your writing, they'd talk about it outright instead of trying to drag you to another site.

Is it weird that I haven't received any new notifications since yesterday morning?

I follow a lot of people, so it was strange that they all went silent.

@adelineday I follow a minimal number of people so I wouldn't know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not relevant to what I write at the moment, but one thing that has recently blown my mind is the fact that many of the Egyptian pyramids were already considered ancient by the reign of Ramesses II (1303 BC – 1213 BC). 
          
          In relation to this, his fourth son Khaemweset (lived 1281 BC - 1225 BC) is considered to be the first Egyptologist because of the efforts he made to restore historical monuments.

@Ornacopa It's humbling (and a little scary) to learn that people back then also looked at stuff and thought 'these things are old as hell.'

@Ornacopa Probably literally as well. Most ancient civilisations formed near rivers, and I think the Nile might have been one of the first places people settled around in prehistoric times.

@adelineday Civilization in the Middle East and North Africa is as old as bread.
