A unique study of the engineering and tools used to create Egyptian monumentsPresents a stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statues of Ramses II and the tunnels of the SerapeumReveals that highly refined tools and mega-machines were used in ancient EgyptFrom the pyramids in the north to the temples in the south, ancient artisans left their marks all over Egypt, unique marks that reveal craftsmanship we would be hard pressed to duplicate today. Drawing together the results of more than 30 years of research and nine field study journeys to Egypt, Christopher Dunn presents a stunning stone-by-stone analysis of key Egyptian monuments, including the statue of Ramses II at Luxor and the fallen crowns that lay at its feet. His modern-day engineering expertise provides a unique view into the sophisticated technology used to create these famous monuments in prehistoric times.Using modern digital photography, computer-aided design software, and metrology instruments, Dunn exposes the extreme precision of these monuments and the type of advanced manufacturing expertise necessary to produce them. His computer analysis of the statues of Ramses II reveals that the left and right sides of the faces are precise mirror images of each other, and his examination of the mysterious underground tunnels of the Serapeum illuminates the finest examples of precision engineering on the planet. Providing never-before-seen evidence in the form of more than 280 photographs, Dunn's research shows that while absent from the archaeological record, highly refined tools, techniques, and even mega-machines must have been used in ancient Egypt.Christopher Dunn is a master craftsman and engineer with thirty-five years of experience. In the last twenty years, he has published a dozen magazine articles on his theories about ancient technology,including the much quoted Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt in Analog.https://gizapower.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

MARA as once the darling of public bitcoin miners, but it's fallen behind in 2025. We break down why and what MARA can do to get back in the limelight. Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, we dive deep into MARA, the largest public Bitcoin miner by hash rate at 60.4 EH/s. Despite leading in hashrate, MARA has lagged behind peers like Riot and CleanSpark with just a 5.4% YoY return versus competitors seeing double or triple digit gains. We break down the ownership structure of MARA's current bitcoin mining operations, the company's 96% US concentration versus 50/50 US/international goals, vertical integration moves, and why the market values AI/HPC megawatts over Bitcoin mining capacity right now. Notes:  • MARA operates 60.4 EH/s across 18 sites • Only 5.4% YTD return vs peers at 62%+ gains • 96% US footprint, targeting 50/50 international split • ~50/50 split between owned and hosted capacity • 1.174GW total operational capacity • Q2 SG&A costs: $92-93 million Timestamps: 00:00 Start 02:56 MARA snapshot 07:20 Sovereign systems 15:32 Financials 18:20 IREN, RIOT flip MARA 19:50 CTO let go 22:48 MARA in a crab market 23:16 Exaion France Power Authority 26:30 Share dilution 30:03 Auradine rigs

Le Luxor à Las Vegas : un hôtel bon marché, un thème égyptien kitsch... et l'un des foyers paranormaux les plus célèbres du monde.Marc, un commercial, n'y cherchait qu'une chambre pas chère. Il a trouvé un cauchemar.Dans sa chambre du 12e étage – le plus hanté de tous – les signes se multiplient : une alarme incendie suspecte, des oreillers du lit d'appoint qui s'empilent tout seuls, et des rideaux qui s'ouvrent, trahissant un silence que Marc n'arrive pas à s'expliquer. Est-ce le stress du travail, son TDAH... ou quelque chose de bien plus sombre ?Au programme de cet épisode :

T. Rowe Price's Blue Macellari argues that Bitcoin's ETF has altered its cycles forever. Welcome back to The Mining Pod!

Viajamos a Luxor para conocer de cerca la excavación en la que trabaja desde hace 25 años José Manuel Galán, arqueólogo, egiptólogo, profesor del CSIC y director del 'Proyecto Djehuty'. Su equipo ha hecho importantes aportes a la egiptología, como el descubrimiento de un pequeño jardín de 4.000 años de antigüedad en un cementerio en el que fue enterrado Djehuty, alto funcionario de la reina Hatshepsut.

Maria Vittoria Baravelli"I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare"Kum! Festivalwww.kumfestival.itKum! Festival, PesaroSabato 18 ottobre 2025, ore 14:30I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare.Maria Vittoria BaravelliPlatone fa dire a Socrate che l'anima si cura con incantesimi, e questi incantesimi sono i discorsi belli. Curare significa avere a cuore; ricordare, da re-cordis, significa ripassare dalle parti del cuore. L'arte, come i discorsi belli, fa entrambe le cose: custodisce la memoria e ci rimette al mondo. Dalla follia di Van Gogh all'universo di Kusama, dalle ninfee di Monet alle ferite di Louise Bourgeois, la storia dell'arte mostra come ogni ferita possa farsi visione e ogni dolore balsamo.Maria Vittoria Baravelli"Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo"Storie, arti e altri incantiElectawww.electa.itLe opere d'arte sono così. Ci chiamano a sé, vogliono rubare la nostra attenzione, come sirene che cantano, ammaliano e ci confondono. Finché esisterà l'arte, come incanto, memoria, bellezza e richiamo all'infinito, il mondo non merita di finire. Maria Vittoria Baravelli ci accompagna attraverso un personale atlante di bellezza che spazia dall'antichità al contemporaneo, dal cinema, alla fotografia, alle installazioni, con accostamenti inediti e paralleli inaspettati. L'arte richiede presenza: la prima vera regola, imperturbabile al tempo e ai cambiamenti, è che l'espressione artistica deve essere sperimentata dal vivo, nei musei, alle mostre. Accanto all'energia e alla possibilità di fruizione che le nuove tecnologie ci mettono a disposizione, l'autrice resta fermamente convinta del valore dell'arte incontrata di persona, che ci entra dentro e non ci abbandona più. Questo libro è un viaggio nella vita di capolavori che non finiscono mai di parlarci, alla scoperta di cosa ci colpisce davvero quando contempliamo un'opera d'arte e questa sembra avvicinarci ai suoi segreti. Come diceva Umberto Eco, leggendo un libro, così come osservando un'opera, si innesca una sorta di "immortalità all'indietro". Per un attimo ci è concesso di guardare direttamente negli occhi il passato, incrociare lo sguardo dell'artista e perderci nella nostalgia di epoche che non sono la nostra.Maria Vittoria Baravelli è curatrice d'arte e fotografia, autrice Rizzoli de Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo. Insegna " Moda e Arte all'Accademia della Moda e del Costume (Milano), scrive per Domani e Il Giornale dell'Arte. È nel CdA del MAR di Ravenna e nel board curatoriale di Art D'Egypte, società che realizza installazioni di arte contemporanea nel deserto, in dialogo con le piramidi di Giza e Luxor.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Hear about travel to Cairo, Egypt, as the Amateur Traveler talks to Neil Laird, TV producer and the author of the Prime Time Travelers Series, about his favorite city. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel here. Why should you go to Cairo? Neil says, "I've traveled to some 70 countries and I've been an international documentary  TV producer for 30 years. But anytime people ask me what is my happy place, what is the place that set me all off on this journey, it is Egypt. I've been enamored and fascinated by the ancient Egyptians and by the culture there for 30, 35 years, and Cairo is the gateway to that. I spent a lot of time on Luxor shooting films for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and BBC. But Cairo is often overlooked because it's the noisy, chaotic city that you fly into and see the pyramids before you go see Luxor and the great ruins. And that's a shame because Cairo is a universe in itself." Here's the 7-day Cairo itinerary recommended by Neil: Day 1 – Zamalek (Gezira Island) Stay in Zamalek, the leafy island in the Nile – quieter, easier to acclimate. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-cairo-egypt/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The war of the words. Following his strategic defeat at Kadesh, Ramesses set about putting his version of the story into wide circulation.
