Awww, Dunky’s been studying Egyptology since the 90s, y’all he just missed some things…
🧵
If Dunky were being honest and/or actually knew Egyptian he would have mentioned that “Hudjefa” was a scribal notation indicating the name of the king couldn’t be read and is used as a placeholder in kinglists. Sedjes is a similar term used.
A missing king’s names does not a lost dynasty or a different builder of the Great Pyramid than Khufu make

Vale Sir Patrick Stewart. Truly iconic as a Shakespearean actor and as the beloved Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the Enterprise (NCC 1701-D & E). Incredible in his portrayal of evil as Sejanus in I Claudius.
Sir Patrick also spoke of the insidious harm of domestic violence, having come from a home where his father abused his Patrick’s mother.
You will be missed more than I can say. Shine bright among the stars.

Terrific new discoveries in Saqqara, Egypt! Archaeologists have unearthed a 4,000-year-old offering chapel belonging to the wife of a high priest, as well as the tomb of their son, who served four kings of the 5th Dynasty and married an Egyptian princess.

An anonymous fake with a stolen photo questioning a real archaeologist's record. If it is a Sepehr alt, fringe racialist content harassing a Yemeni-British researcher fits the pattern exactly. I am keeping the screenshots. #Archaeology
Looks like it is back up. Now that I see his work, I think it is NOT a burner account for Dunky, but it IS a fake picture and a fake identity. Much more likely a @robertsepehr ALT account. #ScientificFraud #ScientificRacism

Sennedjem but members of his family and other individuals, is located at the site of Deir el-Medina. Georg Schweinfurth (1836–1925), acquired the plant remains from the tomb, including these 41 leaves from a Persea tree (Mimusops laurifolia). In the photograph, made at the temple

The dry climate of Egypt means that we have not only the ancient Egyptian depictions of trees, but the actual trees themselves. Excavations in 1886 at the tomb of Sennedjem (TT1), a Ramesside official under the reigns of Seti I and Ramses II. The tomb, which held not just

Wonderful, fact-based information on the Megaliths of Nabta Playa available in #openaccess.
rcin.org.pl/dlibra/publicati…
This is the final major publication of a series on Nabta Playa. The publications are:
Wendorf F., Schild R. et al. 2001. Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian Sahara, vol. I. The Archaeology of Nabta Playa. New York: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.
Nelson K. et al. 2002. Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian Sahara, vol. II, The Pottery of Nabta Playa. New York: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.
Schild, R. et al. 2025. The Megaliths of Nabta Playa. Warsaw: Publishing House of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences
Nabta Playa was first announced to the world in the late 1990s in a letter to Nature. Unfortunately, the full text is behind a paywall.
McKim Malville J.M., Wendorf F., Mazhar A., Schild R. 1998. Megaliths and Neolithic astronomy in southern Egypt. Nature 392, 488-492.
The 2025 publication looks back over the history of the investigation of the site and should make for very productive reading. The are also many journal articles published on Nabta Playa and you will find an extensive list of references in this publication.

In Sudan's Mahas region, a medieval church was built around an ancient petroglyph, possibly depicting a Kushite ruler from centuries earlier #ThrowbackThursday
Spanning epochs and shifting beliefs, the landscape appears to have remained sacred.

The seal impression on this Elamite language tablet from the site of Persepolis is quite small. The tablet, which is oblong as we can see in the drawing in the second image, has the seal impression on the short flat end of the tablet. Despite the fact that this space is only 3.9

The first time I read this story, I missed the cop’s insane quote defending himself:
A one-stoplight TX town got in bed with ICE for $$ and started pulling over every other car and detaining Hispanics. 10% of the town is gone now, and businesses are struggling. The town cop has to look over his shoulder in public now.
