Thanks for pointing that out.
The word Huron is similar to Heron (bird) which is an Egret.
Did Palestinians use Egrets in their art like the Egyptians did?
(It's also similar to the word heroine.)
That makes more sense. Thanks.
Mummy linens!?
Feds on mummy linens seized at Blue Water Bridge: 'Nothing shocks us anymore'
June 26, 2019
Port Huron — Ancient Egyptian mummy linens were seized last month at the Blue Water Bridge by federal agents, officials said Wednesday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers on May 25 selected a shipment on a Canadian mail truck for examination when they found five jars of ancient Egyptian mummy linen in a package.
"It's not a very common thing," said Kris Grogan, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman. "But nothing that people try to smuggle in shocks us anymore."
He said the shipment was heading from Canada coming into the U.S.
Officers coordinated with a Washington, D.C.-based archaeological organization to determine the admissibility of the items. The linen may be from the Ptolemaic Dynasty 305-30 B.C., officials said.
They said the importer was unable to prove the artifacts were removed from Egypt before April 2016, which is in violation of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act.
Grogan said because the investigation is ongoing, Customs and Border Protection are not releasing the importer's identity at this time. No arrests have been made, but U.S. officials are looking into it along with their Canadian counterparts, he said.
Federal agencies, including the Department of State, will be focusing on repatriation of these artifacts, officials said.

"The seized items are, in fact, believed to be from the Ptolemaic Dynasty 305-30 B.C.
According to border officials, "the importer was unable to prove that the artifacts were removed from Egypt prior to April 2016, which is in violation of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act.""

Nice hat!
McMaybe but,
"The surname McCabe is of Irish and Scottish origin. McCabe family history shows that this name is the anglicized form of the Gaelic "Mac Caba". "Caba" means a cape or a hat and refers the unique style of cape worn by certain Scottish mercenary warriors who fought in Ireland during the Middle Ages. The first recorded spelling of this surname is shown by McCabe genealogy to belong to a Hugh Mac Cabe in Ireland in 1368; he later died in battle. The McCabe family coat of arms is a green shield with a wavy fess between three silver swimming salmon."
