Elaborate underground embalming workshop discovered at Saqqara
Tumblr media
Archaeologists at Saqqara have finally identified the many embalming ingredients used to mummify the dead in ancient Egypt. They also deciphered how those different ingredients — many of which came from distant lands — were used.
In 2016, an international team of archaeologists discovered the underground embalming workshop near the pyramid of Unas, south of Cairo. The complex of rooms held approximately 100 ceramic vessels dating to the 26th dynasty of Egypt (664 to 525 B.C.). While many of the vessels had inscriptions identifying their contents, some of the embalming substances remained a mystery.
Now, in a first-of-its-kind study published Feb. 1 in the journal Nature, researchers have used chemical analysis of the resins coating the vessels to identify the contents. Read more.

Were Pyramid Texts found on the walls of ancient tombs actually ancient spells or trance incantations, guiding the Pharaoh to the afterlife?

I remembered that Unas is the reason I downloaded DIslyte back in November. He and his wife are super beautiful, and the concept of them fighting together even after death is super romantic....
Several months later I still don't have them, and we only meet when their teams beat my ass in PVP or the tower LOL
Also, unrelated, but did y'all see that new trailer? Holy macaroni!

I noticed you are a Stargate SG-1 fan.
What is your favourite episode of the series?
Obviously you have good taste in TV shows so you know that there were many funny, enjoyable and important episodes, but I am someone that likes quotes, ethics, and communication, so I would have to say Enemy Mine (S7E7).
It's nothing greatly special to the story line, but this episode reminded me of some important life lessons on patience, understanding and the willingness to meet people on their terms.
I did a post on this episode once:
But there is so much to like about this show. Because I'm in a Teal'c mood, here are some honorable mentions for the category of amusement and also, because, though sometimes Teal'c may not say much, his actions and facial expressions say it all.
Unnatural Selection (S6E12) - The ice cream scene. Loved how quick he pulled it away from Jack.
Tumblr media
Window of Opportunity (S4E6) - Loved that after being hit so many times by the door he finally had a little bit of a fun reaction.
Tumblr media
Seth (S3E2) - Really just because of Teal'c and his joke.
How do you feel about Atlantis and Universe?
Also there are more Stargate posts in my other Tumblr

Jamás unas manos me hicieron tocar las estrellas... Solo las tuyas me llevan a ser ese lucero que comparte un vasto cosmos entre tu cuerpo y el mío. El firmamento explorado por nuestras bocas explorando tu aliento y los suspiros. Ocupándonos por alucinar en nuestros vientres, dónde paso a paso podamos descubrir los puntos débiles, el escalofrío, el erizar y fascinación de caricias hechas de amor y ternura, de deseo y placer... Y después entre gemidos y palabras decirnos cuánto nos amamos.

Another Space Racism episode with Chaka. I never finished the chattel slavery episode, too upsetting. I might give up on this one, depending on how insufferable the humans are

[SPORTS] Telecoms Dalatrass Bids For The Olympics
via Pranas Courier Dalatrass Inlin has sent shockwaves throughout Sol after announcing her interest in purchasing the trademark of the human Olympic Games, the greatest sporting event on Earth for the past three centuries. The Olympic Games have lain dormant since the Reaper War and ensuing Reconstruction, with only cursory preparations made by various national Olympic committees seeking to revive the millennia-old tradition. In past centuries, the games attracted vast amounts of support but also graft and corruption in selection of the host nation and construction of the Olympic venues. The Inlin clan's vast treasury and Maphic-Inlin Extranet sponsorship may just be what the committees need to kickstart the revival properly. No official response has been tendered yet to the offer made on social media, though the first skeptics such as the United North American States Olympic Committee have decried against the bid, stating that 'our [human] immaterial heritage is not for sale'.

It will take as long as it takes.
Ugh. I'm definitely not the most patient person in the world. Like many people, sitting idle sometimes feels like doing nothing or the nerves of waiting for a solution to come can get me jumpy which is why I really enjoy this episode, even if it's not their most action packed or funny episodes.
I'm talking about the TV series, Stargate SG-1. It is a late 90s early 00s military sci-fi adventure series based off the early 90s film, Stargate.
It is about a team of explorers made up of soldiers and scientists who travel through a man-made wormhole, an ancient portal to other planets, known as a Stargate. They use the Stargate to explore new worlds, forge ties with friendly civilizations and protect Earth from hostile forces.
That being said, this particular episode, Season 7 Episode 7 Enemy Mines, is not particularly going to spoil anything for you but I like watching one of the main characters, Dr. Daniel Jackson, learn and communicate with other cultures, alien or otherwise.
Tumblr media
Dr. Daniel Jackson
In an earlier episode, he had made contact with the Unas, they are a alien race that does not speak English with whom he made a friend or at least a contact named Chaka.
Tumblr media
Chaka
In this episode, an SG (Stargate) team came to a new planet looking for a certain material that will help them take out one of the primary bad guys of the show. They ended up finding a big portion of it in a mine, on a planet that was inhabited by an Unas population.
However, the Unas didn't start attacking the SG team until they set foot in the mines. The general called in Dr. Jackson to see if he could find out what the Unas wanted and why there were attacking or to see if he could help mediate the Unas into relocating.
Daniel, though a brilliant linguist, still only had some understanding of their language. Daniel, suggested bringing Chaka to this planet to see if he could communicate with the natives and help mediate.
Chaka arrives on the planet, and has Daniel come with him alone without the SG team to discuss with the natives.
Chaka notes that all the guns that the SG members were holding would seem like a threat and would prevent the Unas natives from coming out of hiding. He took Daniel to the woods and started a fire where he began to chant something along the lines of "come sit by my fire".
They waited hours and pretty early on, Daniel asked Chaka how long it would take for this process, to which Chaka basically replied, "it will take however long it takes".
Tumblr media
I loved this line, sometimes I have to remind myself of this and calm myself down. Not everyone and everything will move at the speed you want them to. Resolutions may take years. Trials that you're in, may seem to go on for days. It can feel agonizing not having that light at the end of the tunnel. But sometimes your speed isn't the right speed or one that can be matched by another.
After some time, the leader of the Unas native's came to them. Chaka took off his knife as a trade of good will and gave it to the leader, whose name I don't recall (I think it translated to Iron Arm or Iron Shirt). Iron Shirt then in return gave Chaka his arm band. This opened up lines of communication.
They began talking and things would have gone better had the SG team not rushed time. The SG team closed in and stepped on something special to an Unas. When the Unas went to get the special item, out of fear and a lack of understanding, the SG member shot the Unas.
This escalated things as a legion of Unas surrounded the SG camp. The SG leader wanted to fight but Daniel encouraged him not to, as they would not win. Instead, he encouraged the team to kneel to show they mean no threat. Hesitantly, they kneeled as Iron Shirt came down to their camp as his Unas circled the camp.
Tumblr media
Daniel then gave Iron Shirt a lighter and (more impressively in my book), Iron Shirt gave Daniel his necklace (which prevents him from attack from the same group that the SG team is trying to destroy, meaning he gave up protection for communication, in understanding and hope for a brighter future).
The SG leader then asked, how long they had to kneel, to which Daniel replied "as long as it takes".
The two were able to come to a mutually beneficial understanding after the Unas informed Daniel that the grounds to which the important material rests, is actually an sacred place to them. The Unas decided to honor their fallen Unas that were used as slaves to the bad guys, by mining the caves themselves. This prevents the SG members from desecrating sacred grounds while allowing the Unas to both pay respects to their dead and allows them to help SG take out the bad guys. For SG they got free labor. Doesn't exactly feel like a measure up but the peaceful communication, respect of tradition and different societies was definitely something I liked about this show overall.
This particular episode, however, I liked the message on patience and understanding.
