Absolutely not.
She may not show her elbows but there’s pictures of her with most of her forearm showing and that’s still too much.

[/TABLE]Sumer (/ˈsuːmər/) is the earliest known civilization in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia (south-central Iraq), emerging during the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages between the sixth and fifth millennium BC. It is one of the cradles of civilization in the world, along with ancient Egypt, Elam, the Caral-Supe civilization, Mesoamerica, the Indus Valley civilisation, and ancient China. Living along the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Sumerian farmers grew an abundance of grain and other crops, the surplus from which enabled them to form urban settlements. Proto-writing dates back before 3000 BC. The earliest texts come from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr, and date to between c. 3500 and c. 3000 BC.

Harappan is a bit of both countries I thought, like eastern Pakistan and western India? That boundary is a British construct anyway - damned Partition.
Don't know if Strawberry really wants to dig into other subcontinent civilizations to sort this. Anyway, I'm really not fussed either way. I am not as passionate about ancient civilizations as I am snack foods, but I didn't want to see it become a breaking of rules for doubling up.

The FOG select THE SEA PEOPLES as our Ancient Civilization. Fits in with our Lighthouse Lore.
This scene from the north wall of Medinet Habu is often used to illustrate the Egyptian campaign against the Sea Peoples in what has come to be known as the Battle of the Delta. While accompanying hieroglyphs do not name Egypt's enemies, describing them simply as being from "northern countries", early scholars noted the similarities between the hairstyles and accessories worn by the combatants and other reliefs in which such groups are named.
The Sea Peoples are a hypothesized seafaring confederation that attacked ancient Egypt and other regions in the East Mediterranean prior to and during the Late Bronze Age collapse (1200–900 BCE).[1][2] Following the creation of the concept in the 19th century, the Sea Peoples' incursions became one of the most famous chapters of Egyptian history, given its connection with, in the words of Wilhelm Max Müller, "the most important questions of ethnography and the primitive history of classic nations".[3][4]
The origins of the Sea Peoples are undocumented. It has been proposed that the Sea Peoples originated from a number of different locations, such as western Asia Minor, the Aegean, the Mediterranean islands, and Southern Europe.[5] Although the archaeological inscriptions do not include reference to a migration,[2] the Sea Peoples are conjectured to have sailed around the eastern Mediterranean and invaded Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Canaan, Cyprus, and Egypt toward the end of the Bronze Age.[6]
French Egyptologist Emmanuel de Rougé first used the term peuples de la mer (literally "peoples of the sea") in 1855 in a description of reliefs on the Second Pylon at Medinet Habu, documenting Year 8 of Ramesses III.[7][8] In the late 19th century, Gaston Maspero, de Rougé's successor at the Collège de France, subsequently popularized the term "Sea Peoples" and an associated migration theory.[9] Since the early 1990s, his migration theory has been brought into question by a number of scholars.[1][2][10][11]
The Sea Peoples remain unidentified in the eyes of most modern scholars, and hypotheses regarding the origin of the various groups are the source of much speculation.[12] Existing theories variously propose that they were any of several Aegean tribes, raiders from Central Europe, scattered soldiers who turned to piracy or became refugees, or migrants linked to natural disasters such as earthquakes or climatic shifts.[2][13]

I'm going to go back to epic fantasy for my last pick of this phase.
Where Tolkien was epic and awesome, and Tad Williams introduced romance, Piers Anthony's Xanth series was the first I read that was a little bit sexy. I'm pretty sure our man Piers is quite the pervert - I have read some other series by him, and while he isn't explicit or anything, he doesn't shy away from dipping his toes into the old erotica. With Xanth, it was the kind of sexiness that didn't make you feel dirty or anything. I first read "A Spell for Chameleon" in eighth grade, so my every waking thought was about sexiness. The female lead in that one was very hot sometimes, and very cool always. Here's a blurb.
"A major supporting character in 'A Spell for Chameleon,' Chameleon is Bink's wife (BINKSY!!!!!!!!) and Dor's mother. She is also known by the aliases Fanchon, Wynne, and Dee. Chameleon's talent is that her physical attractiveness and her intelligence vary inversely, a monthly cycle she cannot control. The transformations complicated her personal life, and she found it convenient to adopt three personas with different names: Wynne is among the most beautiful women in Xanth, but is cognitively impaired to the point of being unable to live independently; Dee is of average appearance and intelligence; and Fanchon is hideously ugly but the smartest person in Xanth. Even though her talent is not magician-caliber, she was named King of Xanth during the Next Wave invasion because she was in her Fanchon phase at the time and thus the person most able to plan a defense of Castle Roogna."

So sorry about this tragedy, @BiggE. Blessings and comfort to you as you support and console your friend and his family, while grieving yourselves. If I can share something I heard a long time ago and have used in several funerals at which I presided: the strength of community is that joy is multiplied and grief is divided.

After attempting to make a trade we have returned to the podium to make our final two selections of the Elegant Phase Twenty One of the Quackverse.
We are proud to select Margot Robbie to fill our Team Queen position. She's played a "Dutchess" and an actual Queen (Elizabeth I) in movies so that's good enough for us. I'm not taking her for those reasons anyway but it's a good cover.
@Chuck Downie you can go as I think of my Dealer's Choice.
