The Temple of Osiris, Filby
Most folk know that the Egyptians were the people who invented paper, however fewer people know that they actually didn't manufacture much of the stuff.
Instead, they outsourced the paper-making task, and mostly it was manufactured in Norfolk, which at the time was much closer to Egypt.
Little remains of those paper factories (due to the great storm of 86 BC), but in 1966, this statue was unearthed just east of Filby.
It's on show in the local pub now.
Bonus - Sandra the Orangutan started washing her hands after observing her caretakers doing it. If she can manage it, surely you can as well.
Bonus 2 - Thank You Amazon - Essential supplies have arrived.
