MAGIC OF THE DESERT
Beyond the Nile Valley there is still much to see. On this comprehensive trip to Egypt we travel through the heart of the Western Desert, a vast, isolated expanse covering a total of some 2.8 million square kilometres, visiting the various Oasis towns on our route. We explore this untamed wilderness in the company of our Bedouin companions, enjoying a memorable insight into their traditions and experiencing their amazing hospitality.
ITINERARY
Day 1 )
We will pick you up in Cairo and depending on where you are staying in Cairo, give you different route options to arrive at the beautiful oasis of the Fayoum. We will enter this beautiful oasis via either A: the modern city of Crocodopolis, so-named by the ancient Greeks because of the over-abundance of crocodiles or B: the ancient Graeco-Roman city of Karanis in Kom Ashiem. After our visit we will continue our sojourn to the Wadi Rayyan to enjoy our lunch next to a refreshing lake and waterfall.
Afterwards, we will venture further into the area to the spectacular outdoor dinosaurs museum. This fascinating place filled with 35 million year old dinosaur bones takes at least 2-3 hours to walk through. The landscape is starkly beautiful and as you rarely see another person here, you can enjoy the silence and get a chance to really visualize the ancient lake that used to contain these 35 million year old creatures. Then spend the night in the desert in the Wadi Hittan, surrounded by the jagged cliffs and sleep under a blanket of brilliant stars. Little foxes here love shoes so be sure to keep them close to you when you sleep

Day 2)

For those who camped in the Wadi Hittan under the stars, next to the dinosaurs, you will be free to explore more in the morning. After breakfast drive back to Cairo.

Is this the world’s oldest known protractor?

For over a century, archaeologists have argued over the original purpose of the strange looking object shown above, which was discovered in 1906 in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian architect Kha. Now, an Italian physicist claims to have deduced the artifact's true function:She says it's the world's first known protractor.

If the strange-looking object doesn't immediately bring to mind a protractor — the flat, metal or plastic, typically half-disc drawing tool used to measure angles — don't be alarmed; since its discovery, it hasn't reminded anyone else of one, either. (Ernesto Schiaparelli, the archaeologist who first discovered the artifact, believed it to be the case for a balancing scale.)

But Amelia Sparavigna, a physicist at Turin Polytechnic in Italy, believes that the complex patterns adorning the object – long believed to serve merely as decoration — actually serve a functional purpose, as well. Sparavigna describes the patterns, pictured below, as follows:
The [inner]decoration of the object of Kha is quite complex: it has 16-fold symmetry, looking as a compass rose with 16 leaves. Outside this rose, there is a polygonal line of 18 corners, pointing outwards. They correspond to the same number of corners (pointing inwards). That is we have a [polygonal line] with 36 corners.
The sixteen petals of the inner rose pattern divide the object's circular projection into sixteenths – an important fraction featured prominently in a system of calculation commonly used by ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians also placed great significance in the number 36, which they originally associated with the 36 small groups of stars (now call decans) that they observed appearing over the nighttime horizon throughout every rotation of the earth. According to Sparavigna:
The use of 1/16 fraction, the coincidence of the number of corners with that of decans, and the fact that the decoration was engraved on the instrument of an architect, [suggest] that this object had been used as a protractor instrument with two scales, one based on Egyptian fractions, the other based on decans

However, members of the archaeological community remain skeptical. Kate Spence, a Cambridge archaeologist who specializes in ancient Egyptian architecture, cites the lack of precision of the artifact's decorative markings as proof that the Egyptians would never have used the object as a measuring instrument, stating succinctly: "When the Egyptians want to be precise, they are."

Here is a picture of a figure with a long neck and strange head. While not resembling some of the other aliens, he does not look entirely human.

rose of life

The Temple of Osiris at Abydos, The original flower of life (found on several pillars within "the Osireion" at abydos in Egypt) Egypt.
The "Flower of Life" can be found in all major religions of the world. It contains the patterns of creation as they emerged from the "Great Void". Everything is made from the Creator's thought.
After the creation of the Seed of Life the same vortex's motion was continued, creating the next structure known as the Egg of Life.
This structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music. It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (The first cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight). Thus this same structure as it is further developed, creates the human body and all of the energy systems including the ones used to create the Merkaba. If we continue creating more and more spheres we will end up with the structure called the Flower of Life
