The Pyramid of Meidum

The Collapsed, Bent and Red Pyramids of Dahshur. Guest appearance by Ra.

Following the creation of Djoser's step pyramid, the Ancient Egyptians began to experiment with the true pyramid form. Snofru appears to have built no less than three pyramids. What happened to the Collapsed Pyramid is somewhat self explanatory. When it came to the Bent Pyramid, someone seem to have realised that if they continued to build at such a steep angle, they would soon have a Collapsed Pyramid Mark 2, so the angle was changed partway through to be less steep, leading to its characteristic 'bent profile. Finally, Snofru's labour force completed the Red Pyramid, the first true pyramid built in Egypt. It's not as large as the Great Pyramid on Giza, but it's y'know pretty big and impressive anyway. And as you can see by the landscape, delightfully empty of tourists! (Because somehow, most tourists groups forget that the Dahshur and Meidum cemetery complexes exist).

Ancient art reveals extinct goose

As a University of Queensland researcher examined a 4600-year-old Egyptian painting last year, a speckled goose caught his eye.

These geese are so beautiful. So finely painted, simply stunning. And now how interesting that they may show an extinct species.

Mediumに日本語で詩を書いてくれる方募集しています

最近、Mediumに書くことが私の中でブームになっています。Mediumに日本語で書かれた記事というのはあまり多くなく、あっても古いものが多いです。そこに、新しい風を起こしたいですね。そういうプロジェクトって、ドキドキしませんか？

でも、ビジネス系や稼ぐことが目的だけの人で固まってしまうと、おもしろくありません。だから、創作系の方にも参加してもらいたいなあという話。そもそも、日本語の投稿で「詩」を書いていた人って、いないんじゃないかな。ほとんどないでしょう。（詩でタグ検索しても中国語ばっかり上がってくる）
