📢 NEW: Phase Zero Hypothesis — The Bull in the Sky

7 uninscribed step pyramids distributed across Predynastic Upper Egypt — at exactly the Shemsu Hor ceremonial sites — encode Meskhetyu (Ursa Major). They are territorial markers.

This bridging paper closes the 500-year gap between the Saharan corridor and the Giza Plateau. Two parallel tracks. One target constellation. One convergence point: Seila.

🌸 As we head full-on into Spring in the northern hemisphere (despite what the weather outside might be telling me), it makes me think of these lotus flowers from ancient Egypt that I photographed for Manchester Museum's 'To Have and To Heal' project in 2021.

The flowers were found on the chest of a 22nd Dynasty woman called Perenbast, a singer of the god Amun in ancient Thebes.

Osiris on his throne in the Hall of Judgement. Detail, just a few cm tall, from a Saite Period Book of the Dead at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology. The papyrus had broken where it was rolled up, and the fragments had slipped inside the glass, so I realigned them in Photoshop. Photo © me.

5,300-year-old “bow drill” rewrites the story of ancient Egyptian tools.

A new study reveals that Egyptians were using a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool far earlier than previously suggested — reshaping what we thought we knew about early engineering and craftsmanship.

Carnelian bead from Egypt carved into the shape of a hyena's head, with that distinctive ridge of fur on its neck. Unprovenanced, sadly, but now in the collection at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology.

Oh, one other thing ... it's literally a centimetre big ... 🤯🔬
