It's really cool. So we have scant evidence all the way around, but highly likely that the chemicals that are in the lotus flower, people were using it to get horny.

according to the story, it was having some kind of effect on them that was making them not care about anything. So it has this sort of multipurpose thing.

Okay, so Ryan, I sent you a photo that it's a little bit blurry and it's some hieroglyphs that are on a temple wall. There's no lotus flower actually depicted in the photo. There you go. All right. So this is on a Ptolemaic temple. I believe it is the temple of Edfu. And there's a British archaeologist who translated this. And essentially, one part that we're taking from this

is this is, I believe it's Ptolemy X. This is a Greek pharaoh ruling during the Greek dynasties. So you have the Ptolemaic dynasties, which is the last chapter.
