About King Tut
Ruling Egypt as Pharoah from 1333 to 1323 BC, Tutankhamen was known as the "boy Pharoah". He took reign at the age of nine or ten, and lived only another ten years. It is widely belived that Tutankhamen died as a result of an infected broken leg.

Poseidon-as-Octopus Plastic Figure
Just don't make him angry!!
Our Plastic Poseidon Figure
Our plastic Poseidon figurine or educational toy is quite a character with his lower body turned into octopus tentacles and his gray hair flowing as if being tugged by the ocean currents. Poseidon stands 4 1/2 inches tall, and his tentacles reach to about 4 3/8 inches at the widest point. Poseiden/Neptune is made of solid, durable plastic and will hold up for hours of play and/or a long life on your shelf overseeing your other mythological and fantasy figurines. He swivels at the waist, apparently ready to spear any enemies that come his way with that forbidding-looking seaweed-covered trident! Please check out our extensive collection of sea creatures and fish along with our growing selection of mythical and legendary animals and anthropomorphic characters. Any of them would make a wonderful display along with our plastic Poseidon figurine.
About Poseidon and Neptune
Also known as Neptune and Nethuns, Poseidon is one of the twelve deities of the ancient Greek pantheon who ruled the world from Mt Olympus. Poseidon is primarily God of the Sea, but also was the source of earthquakes (hence the nickname Earth-shaker) and was known as the tamer of horses.
Like many ancient gods and goddesses, Poseidon’s exact lineage is unclear. However, there is a tale that links Poseidon as brother to Zeus (most powerful of the Greek gods) and Hades. The tale states that when the world was divided amongst the three most-powerful Gods of Olympus, Zeus was given the air, Hades the underworld, and Poseidon the oceans. This put Poseidon in position to be the most influential amongst the mortals. Indeed, Poseidon’s contest of wills with the ancient Greek king Odysseus formed the basis for Homer’s The Odyssey, one of the cornerstones of Western literature.

About Aborigines
Aborigenes are the original inhabitants of Australia.and now make up only 2.6% of Australia's population. They migrated to Australia from Asia approx. 30,000 years ago. Though they comprise 500–600 distinct groups, aboriginal people possess some unifying links. Among these are strong spiritual beliefs that tie them to the land; a tribal culture of storytelling and art; and, like other indigenous populations, a difficult colonial history. Aborigines see a close relationship between themselves and land and their religion has a deep and mysterious relationship with dreaming. Also humans and the natural world are more unified. Ancestors live on as parts of the physical world.

Plastic Neanderthal Woman
Looks like the Missus picked up a little something while she was out!
Our Plastic Neanderthal Woman
Our small plastic Neanderthal toy is just the right size replica for your prehistoric life shoebox diorama. This little cavewoman model will fit in a shoe box along with other examples of extinct life from the Earth's past. Add a caveman, few plastic animals, rocks, plants, grass, make a river or stream from anything that strikes your imagination, and there you go - a scene of life on our planet as it might have been thousands or millions of years ago. Our plastic toy caveman is made of solid plastic and is quite durable. Be sure to take a look at our other prehistoric figurines including neanderthals.
About Neanderthals
Neanderthals were an alternate (and now extinct) evolution of human beings who lived in what is now Europe and central Asia from 600,000 years to as modern as 24,500 years ago. Neanderthals are scientifically classified as both a subspecies of human (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) and as an entirely separate human species (Homo neanderthalensis). This unique dual classification reflects a split amongst scientists regarding neanderthals relationship to modern humans.
Originally depicted by both popular culture and the scientific community as dark-skinned, hairy, over-muscled brutes, new evidence now suggests that neanderthals were more likely light-skinned with no more facial or body hair than modern humans. While neanderthals were significantly stronger than modern humans, examinations of neanderthal skulls show that the cranial capacity of neanderthals were as large as modern humans, allowing the theory that neanderthal brains were at least as large, and possibly larger, than modern human brains. Far from thoughtless brutes, it is now concluded that neanderthals existed in large social groups, had a language, and were capable of producing advanced tools and problem solving. Were you to see a neanderthal man in a modern setting, dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, you would probably think nothing more extravagant than "that dude really works out".

About Neanderthals
Our caveman & family appear to be stylistic replicas of neanderthals, an alternate (and now extinct) evolution of human beings who lived in what is now Europe and central Asia from 600,000 years to as modern as 24,500 years ago. Neanderthals are scientifically classified as both a subspecies of human (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) and as an entirely separate human species (Homo neanderthalensis).

Were you to see a neanderthal man in a modern setting, dressed in jeans and a tee shirt, you would probably think nothing more extravagant than "that dude really works out".
As a hunter-gatherer society, neanderthals certainly engaged in cooking their meat and other foodstuffs. Evidence of cooked vegetables have been found in the teeth of neanderthal skulls. Of all the cooking methods used over an open fire (the only heat source available to neanderthals), the easiest and probably oldest is roasting, where meat or large vegetables are placed on spits over the fire. While stewing or boiling food allows people to stretch their food supply by feeding more with less ingredients, roasting requires no other utensils than a sharp stick.
