Notes on verification

Multiple independent academic and archaeological sources corroborate the domestication of corkscrew-horned sheep (Ovis longipes palaeoaegyptiacus) in ancient Egypt from at least 3700 BCE. Archaeological evidence from Hierakonpolis, peer-reviewed journal articles (Science Direct), and reputable archaeology news sources (phys.org) all confirm the existence and depiction of these sheep in Egyptian art and religious iconography. The slight imprecision in the claim (saying 'murals' when sources more commonly reference 'reliefs' or 'carved reliefs') is minor and doesn't undermine the core factual accuracy. The connection to pharaonic tombs and the deity Khnum is well-documented.
