#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.
The article is available as #openaccess.
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. It was a war fought village by village and town by town, and it resulted in massive population displacements on both sides.
No Jews remained anywhere in parts of Palestine that fell under #Arab control
#FarhanHaq, a #UN spokesperson, said the new smaller numbers reflected those bodies which had been fully identified. The bigger figures included corpses for whom identification has so far not been completed.
In recent days #Egypt has announced it will no longer participate in allowing the transit of aid into #Gaza and said it planned to join the #genocide case brought by #SouthAfrica against Israel at the UN’s top court. #TheHague
Crucially, however, it is not considered a substitute for far cheaper land-based deliveries that aid agencies say are much more sustainable. #Israel#Egypt
"Egypt Joins ICJ Case Accusing Israel of Genocide"
"Egypt is the third country after Colombia & Turkey to request to join South Africa's case."
Egypt, as "the cornerstone of Israel's standing in the Middle East" since 1979, joining South Africa's case is a "real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously".
~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.
Thousands of truck/trailers are stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing since last week because of the Israeli occupation of the border. Most of the fresh products in the trucks have gone bad and there is a risk of other items to be destroyed if #Israel does not allow the help to get in.
Over 1 million Palestinians, most of the women, elderly and children are stuck in western #Rafah without access to food, medicine and water. The situation is getting worse every day as Israel keep bombing them and pushing forward with 100s of tanks and armored vehicles.
A person from Egypt, who opened a hole in the wall between Rafah & Egypt gives snacks every day through the hole to feed the children of Gaza who suffer hunger!
The university students protest not to contribute to this humanity crisis.
