#500CharAbstracts: 🏺 @ArchaeoBasti & H. Franzmeier show, how to get from excavation data to a #3DReconstruction for an exhibition. They showcase the visualisation with the example of Pi-Ramesse in #Egypt, capital of Ramesses II. This case is especially interesting as the remains of the city are not visible any more. Special strategies were needed to create an aesthetically and educationally sound solution.

Is there an Egyptologist in the house? I'm looking for information about the attached glyph. I did a reverse image search and I found indication it is related to the god Ra. Where's a good resource of information for this sort of thing?

After 75 years of failure, one would imagine that a people would learn what works and what doesn’t, both from their own experience, as well as the experience of others.
#WarOfndependence that began in 1947 was first a #civilWar between #Arabs and #Jews in #Palestine, and then a multi-state war… from at least five sovereign countries—#Egypt, #Transjordan, #Syria, #Iraq, and #Israel—as well as small contingents from others.

No Jews remained anywhere in parts of Palestine that fell under #Arab control

"Egypt Joins ICJ Case Accusing Israel of Genocide"
"Egypt is the third country after Colombia & Turkey to request to join South Africa's case."

~Alon Liel, former director of Israel's Foreign Ministry
Egypt to join South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Egypt says the move is due to the worsening severity & scope of Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.
However, Egypt has repeatedly warned Israel that Israel's military operations along the Egypt-Gaza border could endanger the peace treaty between the two.
