I gotta agree with Bob. Why are you so concerned with geometry to the exclusion of everything else? Why don't you focus on the art itself. The two goddesses with their wings extended protecting the djed pillar. The eyes of the king (or osiris) as he's transformed (apparently) into a djed pillar how he still holds the crook and the flail (again none of his power has been diminished).by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Well looking at the coffin there is no doubt in my mind that this is the carbonized remains from dryrot and not stain from mildew. The tomb was definitely sealed and water leaked in fungus spores that were present on the wood and in the tomb and they went to work breaking down the wood leaving only the carbon behind. If I'm not mistaken the bits of Tiye's shrine also look like theyby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
He was the stadard bearer of the coregency theory. That torch has now passed to Ray Johnson of Oriental Institute(Chicago not Durhamsmiling smiley) Would somebody please throw a bucket of water on that torch? (or is that one of those "electric torches" that Carter left in Tut's tomb)by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Now, just for the record, I don't think for one second that there was a super civilization that existed on a lost continent, island, city, or township, however in my armchair study of myths I have found that just about every one of them, if studied deep enough has a nugget of historical fact surrounding it. Therefore I think that there's some history lieing behind all of these embellishby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
In von Beckerath's "Handbuch de agyptishcen Konignamen" He has both the heiroglyphic and the transliterated name, now is there a web site or something wher I can insert the tranliterated name and get a translation of what the king's name mean?by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Well the first thing you have to do is splitting your name and inserting your new name like Bob "Bill Gates" Wickland. Or add the AKA to the end. Bob Wickland aka "Bill Gates" this kinda give you priority. How profitable is it? Well let's look at it. Prince legally changed his name to a symbol that looked like an Ankh that was drawn by Salvador Dali it was a compby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
As I said before on other strings let us not forget that John Fogerty of Credence Clearwater revival spent 10 years in court battles because he had the "look and feel" of John Fogerty!!! If Zahi has copyrighted his name, I don't blame him. It's better than finding out that another "Zahi Hawass of Lil Egypt Los Angeles" beat him to the copyright office and now has toby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Frankly I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they discovered "archimedes theorems" a thousand years earlier than assumed. The more I study of Ancient Science reread Heron so far, along with Archimedes, Lucretius, Ptolemy etc. it's utterly astonishing the insights that they had. So many people think that eveything started with Newton though some would push it back to Coperby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Martha Bell's tragic death? Just out of morbid curiousity how did she depart this world? BTW I know you posted it already but when is the March ARCE meeting?by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Ditto on the close up of the face of the coffin.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Thanks for clearing that up Bob. I've got all of my books stored here, there and everywhere in my house. So I was dredging up the quotes from my memory. But it would be nice if there was somekind of comprehensive report of what was found in KV 55.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
On another list Bob and I were having a discussion on dryrot and termite damage when he posed the interesting question as to whether the face of the wooden sarcophagus in Kv55 had been so heavily damaged by dryrot that it had been carbonized. I couldn't see any reason why it couldn't have been and posed what I considered to be an equally provocative question. HOwever what I wondering wby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
I don't know I'm kinda hesitant about returning to JOlly ol england. After all Jack the Ripper still hasn't been caught. Would somebody wake up scotland yardby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
On a different note many years ago I would read the "popular history" books on Egyptology etc. after awhile I began to notice a funny thing. I kept thinking I was getting the "real, true, definitive" account of what happened. After all it had just rolled off the presses a couple of months earlier and this was the product of the latest most thorough researcy. But the more I reby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Don't forget eminem (seriously some of his earlier stuff is very, very, very good), any gansta rap lyrics. Hell for the extremes of the english language watch the incredible series "The Shield" Fortunately I have kids who can translate for me from time to time. And don't hesitate to split infinitives and end a sentence with a preposition if that's what you feel like doinby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Rember Churchill how does it go: "the English and Americans are sperated by a commom language" I used that quote on another board and somebody told me that it was actually George Bernard Shaw that said that. But who knows. It's still true. After all "cheerio" means goodby in Britain and it's a kind of cereal in America. Though seriously while we're onby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Bob you wrote: "At the same time, Carter and company where not idiots; they would never have dreamed of actually entering a crowded tomb with a lit flame." So let us turn to the absolutely definitive statement of what happened and open the good book The Tomb of Tutankhamen and see what Howard Carter had to say as he looked in on the tomb for the first time.... "Let him imagby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
I agree with you Bob I think this calls for some more "experimental archeology". Now I know everybody loves to lambast Thor Heyerdahl, but he proved that with a leaky raft some brass cajones and a crazy crew you could go just about anyplace you wanted in the world. As for me back to my machine shop to try to "reinvent" some of Hero's devices.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
I love the way that if we find a skeletion that had a combination of human and neandertahl traits then we immediately interpret that as evidence of interspecies sex. However let's consider what we know about interprimate sex. As far as I know no human has ever successfully had sex with another species of primate that was alive. Primates are utterly ferocious animals, even the little capucby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
It still gets hot and heavy around here. Just mention the fact that maybe just maybe the AE's might possibly have been influenced by the constellation Orion and watch the fireworks, uh I mean the atomic bombs go off.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
HI Bob I disagree instead of spending the billions that would be needed to accomplish that I would much rather see every single artifact in the various egyptian museums photographed and put on the internet for everybody to see and study. God only knows what lies buried in the remote accesses of these buildings.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
However in his book he has a Hymn To Amen and Aten that was composed during the reign of Amen III by Her and Suti who were overseers at works of thebes. In addtion to that Budge has the original heiroglypic text along with his translation along with a picture of the stele. Evidently Budge knew enough to realize that any translation was always "provisional" and provided the text alongby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Why Budge? Because he was alive when the tomb was opened and Amarna studies hadn't reached the status that it has today.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Of course not...To speak the name of "so and so" is just like calling forth the crocodile god Sobek and then wondering why you're being dragged down below the NIle river never to be seen again. Shhhh....I never said that BTW. A friend of a friend knew somebody who might have thought it.by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
At a recent meeting of Amarnaholics Anonymous we turned to Budge's Tutankhamen and considered the following passage. The facts known about the life and reign of Aakhunaten (sic) seem to prove that from first to lasst he was a religious fanatic, intolerant arrogant and obstinate, but earnest and sincere in his seeking after god and in his attempts to make Aten the national god of Egypt .by Rick Baudé - Ancient History
HI Don YOu can email at barricademan@gmail.comby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
Don Strangely I agree with almost everything you say in your post. If nothing else your eyes and brain have seen some incredibly beautiful paintings and that is never ever ever a loss. As far as thinking outside the box I've vaporized the box years ago. You're talking with somebody who made a career out of battling the conventional thinkers. Remember Guardians and the "neby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
I'm sorry Don I withdraw what you consider elementary shool humour, and will instead substitute a more mature evaluation of this string so far. On the other hand my wife thought it was very amusing, But hey she's married to me. But so far all you and Morph have shown is that you have only a rudimentary understanding of AE history, art, mythology, and mathematics. Morph has intiby Rick Baudé - Ancient History
