September 15, 2021 | “Egyptian Desert” Microworld by Benny Productions

Lately I have been watching YouTube videos by the digital artist Benny (Benny Productions), and one of his Photoshop projects is to create microworlds, which look like 3D “worlds,” like cubes taken out of the earth. In one of his YouTube videos, titled “This is NOT 3D SOFTWARE? | How I Create ‘Microworlds’,” he describes his process of creating these microworlds in Photoshop. The microworld he creates is the “Egyptian Desert.”

He takes stock images and “fits” them into a template cube image. I assume the underground portion of the microworld may not be accurate, though (I say this not knowing what kind of rock is under the Sahara Desert even, so why am I even commenting? Heh.). 

According to Geography’s “The Geology of the Sahara”:

Named for the Arabic word for desert, sahra, this vast region sits on top of the warped, deformed, and folded African Shield, composed of some of the oldest rocks on the planet, forged when life was limited to single-celled creatures living in the oceans. These older rocks underlying the present-day Sahara are mostly granite, schist, or gneiss, all mixtures of igneous and metamorphic rocks forged deep beneath the surface. The rocks that form the African Shield were laid down near the surface, buried, remelted, re-fused, and returned finally to the surface. The African Shield comprises the hard bedrock of Africa and has held the continent together during the hundreds of millions of years that it has been split, shifted, twisted, and rammed into Europe as a result of the movement of the crustal plates.

What all of that looks like from a cross-sectional perspective, I have no clue.

You can see all the microworlds he has made on his website. The Egyptian Desert is #10.

SEKHMET

First born of Ra. She was the lion goddess of war and vengeance. Also from disease and medicine. She was a symbol of strength and power, and it was said that her breath created the desert.

NOT EVERYTHING IN EGYPT IS SAND NOT EVERYTHING IN EGYPT ANCIENT OR MODERN IS DESERT EGYPT LITERALLY IS A BIGASS RIVER VALLEY + DELTA THAT IS GREEN AND HAS PLANTS AND SHIT BECAUSE OF THE RIVER NOT. EVERYTHING. IS. FUCKING. SAND.

#egyptology #ancient egypt #obligatory disclaimer: I fucking love the desert and the desert ITSELF has way more life than most people think #this was about the Hollywood image of Egyptian civ/other near Eastern ancient civs being empty barren sandy shit #and the people perpetuating it while talking with unearned authority about things they don't know anything about #and yes by 'people' I do mean 'big blogs on tumblr'

It’s so funny bc I thought this scene in invincible was a moon knight parody bc the guy looks just like Oscar Isaac but it turns out the invincible episode was released an entire year before moon knight and it’s just a total coincidence

#anybody else notice this lol? #such a funny parallel bc it’s completely unintentional #it’s so uncanny that this guy who looks just like Oscar Isaac is reviving an Egyptian Spirit from a desert tomb #esp bc half of the characters are parodies and there’s always joke references #maybe invincible can just predict the future #moon knight #marc spector #Steven grant #Oscar Issac #invincible

Safiya the Sakhmet, Lost Desert resident kyrii! She's a freelance scribe; if you've got copper ingots, she's there to make sure you complain about 'em. On papyrus. So it's official. She's got a big crush on this dancer from a Qasalan performing troupe. She's been offering services to the troupe at discount just to get a chance to flirt with her.

At long last, this picture is finished! I worked several months on this, trying to push myself to finally incorporate some more interesting perspective angles and landscapes into my works.

This is a little visual preview of what's going on in my writing right now. Currently working on my second manuscript featuring Demetra, "Prophet's Grave". It seems she's left the comforts of the capital city Cheienna and ended up... well, where exactly? And what new challenges will she face there?

pov: you're a q!bad main / theorist

#qsmp #q!badboyhalo #guys pls i'm so tired #i know there's something here to grasp but #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #too many mythologies #ps. i'm not looking into egyptian mythology bc the loops are in a desert #i'm looking into it bc man's hinted at it but we haven't see much so if i can't find shit in greek mythology or the bible #well it's gotta be somewhere

watching the Ancient Aliens episode of Buzzfeed Unsolved and pausing every two minutes to rant once they get to the Pyramids of Giza part bc I was one of those Egyptology kids and I will NOT stand for this fucking SLANDER

#''oh how did they align the pyramids with Orion's belt?'' THEY LOOKED AT THE SKY #navigation via stars was SO crucial in desert areas they were HUGE stargazers #I mean there's a reason a lot of stars have Arabic names #bc Arabic people named them using them to navigate #''how are they so well-preserved?'' it's a fucking DESERT #''they align with magnetic north'' MAGNETS EXIST IN NATURE #''the shapes are perfect'' MATH IS MATH. GEOMETRY IS GEOMETRY. #btw the first two ''examples'' in the video are also bullshit #but they aren't on a subject I read extensively about as a smol #and also Ryan didn't disrespect those cultures quite as much as the Ancient Egyptians #so I didn't have quite as strong reactions to it #anyways Shane is so based in that episode and Ryan is the wrongest he's ever been #the roommate and I kept ranting about how Wrong Ryan is being #Ghoul Boys #Buzzfeed Unsolved #speecher speaks

hate it when people are like "good and evil require a balance between them" like no chaos and order require a balance between them different things

#anyway the Norse saw chaos as impossible to live in - like raging fire #uncontrolled #but true order was frozen #nothing could live their either #life arose at the intersection of the two #this is also why Seth wasn't actually an evil god in Egyptian mythology for a long time #although later I think he began to be seen as such #he was the god of chaos and the desert he was important for balance

I swear to God though I will murder Hollywood solely for the part it played in making people think Egypt was mostly sand and barren desert villages, instead of literally a very lush, very green, river valley and river delta. You know, because the whole reason ancient Egypt was as successful as it was, is the fucking Nile

#Egyptians didn't really consider the desert part of their country; the VALLEY was Egypt #and the delta obv #but yes. #god. #not a subblog btw! just been on my mind since we started talking about ancient egyptian foodstuffs lmao #and then i was writing about D walking around the faiyum going 'ew ew grass ew'

the kavetham brainrot is real, I have multiple foreign language tests this week and I’m starting two new courses but instead I’ve been researching architectural styles of the middle east, north africa, and southeast asia to be able to write this akademiya era fic because Kaveh is a genius and a passionate prodigy and I refuse to not write him as such.

after multiple hours of research and a lot of reading, I am now extremely angry and disappointed about how genshin dropped the ball with indo-islamic architecture in the rainforest, it could’ve been so colorful and beautiful and connected to real architecture. but it’s so orientalist in game. ironically the desert is better in terms of architectural adhesion to real cultures. pls ask me about it im going crazy

#genshin #genshin impact #kaveh #alhaitham #kavetham #guys theres so many ways you can do domes #I really like islamic gardens and I think Kaveh would too #he also clearly likes chhatri #that's canon #chhatri are those gazebo looking things all over sumeru and also are included as one of kavehs fav teapot places #he would also adore all the decorative stuff #like muqarnas #and jali #bro the architecture for sumeru could've been so much better why are the colors like they are why is it all so boring and weird #the desert stuff is honestly way better than the rainforest stuff #much closer to the ancient egyptian and Moroccan architecture that's clearly the inspiration #I wish the indo islamic stuff in the rainforest was better though #the fountains are honestly the closest the game gets and even those are bland af #in my fic I will describe the architecture as being less bland and shit #this i swear to you
