No. I actually forgot the answer to my question and was hoping someone could jog my memory. I remember how elephants became associated with gold, I think.

I heard that the camel was supposed to be associated with the "fine Turkish tobaccos" used in Camel cigarettes, as Turkish tobacco was used in high quality Egyptian cigarettes, thereby somehow through a dromedarian reverse willy transform making the connection. Maybe it's really because ad guys in Manhattan were not too clear on geography.

IIRC it had to do with the stamps used to seal packages of tobacco. People got used to seeing camel pics on the good shit. But before that could happen, someone had to make an editorial decision to put camels on the stamps. That's the part I forget.

They went in the opposite direction though. They showed you a healthy camel.

Two pyramids, actually. Some boxed sets showed a third. There is some scholarship on this in "Still Life with Woodpecker."
