"For the Pyramid Texts of the Pyramid of Unas (and generally) I strongly recommend the Pyramid Texts Online." - Dr Chris Naunton (@chrisnaunton)

[Vincent Brown @vinbrown]

Pyramid Texts Online was built by recreating the walls of Unas's pyramid. Without Natacha Rambova's vision, organisational genius, and determination, this website could not exist.

On the 60th anniversary of her death, we honour her contribution.

The walnut staircase at Peles castle was likely built as a compact private passage.

A spiral staircase uses very little floor space, which makes it ideal for a hidden vertical route inside a palace.

It let the king move between work and private rooms without crossing public halls or being seen by guests, staff, or officials.

@VenetiaJane Thanks. They're a bit like a four-leaf clover. Good luck!

Once in a blue moon, I find a 6-petaled borage flower in the garden.

[VenetiaJane's Garden @VenetiaJane]

Blue flowers for a #BlueMoon, though a Blue Moon doesn’t relate to colour. One definition is the second full moon in a month with two full moons, as occurs on 31 May. Its rarity gave rise to the saying “once in a blue moon”, meaning something that seldom happens. #FolkloreSunday

@ivanfamil Compare it with other artistic designs from that time. I have a book here, for example, of Ancient Egyptian Designs, and it has many triangular motifs like the one on the egg. These are typical Predynastic bowl and basket designs.

The navigational menu at the top of the pages of the Pyramid Texts Online website was a bit glitchy on smaller phone screens. 📱

I'm happy to announce that it has been fixed now - touch any wall to view the texts on that wall. 👆

It should be lighting-fast too! ⚡️🌐

"It is enough that he [man] be as one of the towers or houses among the dwellings of a walled city, as bars and gates, as I have shown you the pattern of the house and the pattern of its instruments, as the House of the Soul, for he has lower, second and a third stories, ..."

In this Hebrew medical diagram — from Tobias Cohen’s Ma’aseh Tuviyah (1708) — the human body is mapped onto a house: every organ in the man’s open torso is lettered; each letter matches with a room or architectural feature. More in our post: https://t.co/4JZMmhppIa

Most people see Michelangelo’s David and think of genius.

This video by @KriderJackie shows the quiet hands that keep that genius alive.

Civilization survives because someone cleans the dust from what everyone else stops to admire.
