A connection between old and new eras was met by Pharaoh Senusret III who built both a pyramid (Dahshur) and rock cut tomb (Abydos). Why not the same for Dyn IV-XII (or more?). If we were to look at Abydos, the shaded area could be best case.

Adding the two = Iceland.
Strangely not 'Icefireland', 'Fireland' nor 'Fireiceland'. Maybe math is not my strong point(?). Hehe. No matter, this drone footage is a wonderful formula for 'wow'! (sound up) ⬇️🌋

Wow! What you're seeing was carved by a skilled artisan about 4500 years ago. It was made from ash-colored greywacke stone. Filmed 📽️ by Ahmed Sameh at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. (More of his wonderful 📸 content can be found on X.)

If only we could see active radiation!
Turns out, we can, if you know how. Like placing a tiny bit of uranium in a chamber with chilled ethanol gas. The ethanol molecules become ionized when radiated particles interact with it. Et voila!

⌛Long before the 'void' was detected in the Great Pyramid I had wondered why the shafts deviated.
It looked like they went around something.
It wouldn't take much to confirm, just a small probe 🔭 hole 10-14ft from Caviglia's Tunnel.

If you get a chance to visit Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in British Columbia, Canada, you'll come across this wonder -- water cutting granite in 'slow-mo'. The exhibit demonstrates 15, 25, and 50 years of activity.

➡️ Elephantine Island
Located on the Nile at 🧭24°05'03.22" N the island hosts a series of temples built one on top of the other that reach far back into pre-history. Each successive temple faced and tracked the sacred star of Isis ('Sopdet'), known today as Sirius. /1

About 85km NW of King Tut's tomb there is a place called Abydos - a truly ancient sanctuary. There we find the temple of King Seti 1st, and within, a list of kings. Seen here in the top right corner are the kings of Giza (Khufu, et al).
Missing: Tutankhamun

The artist called 'Earth' gave us one of the most attractive specimens you'll ever see. Found in a few areas around the world, but the real deal comes from Labrador, Canada.
Composed of 🧪Ca, Na, Al, Si, and O, a thousand-fold more awesome in person:

The holiest focal point in Christianity ✝️ is the Vatican, home of the church's leader, the Pope. And it's focal point is St Peter's Square. In the center, the ultimate symbol of the religion stands:
A 4500 year-old ancient Egyptian obelisk.
Seriously. 🏺

Not all Egyptologists have an academic focus on Giza's pyramids. There are myriad of other sites with equal intrigue and beauty.
Of those who do know of Giza, some recognize this spot's importance. What is here? What could it be?
