Using images and thermal data from NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft, we show that asteroid (101955) Bennu’s surface is globally rough, dense with boulders, and low in albedo. -
Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt Until the End of the New Kingdom
Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City Vol. 1, Issue 1, June, 2017 Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt until the End of the New Kingdom Dr. Iman Muhammad Ahmad El-Mahdy Associated Professor at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Tourism Guidance department - University of Sadat City Abstract This paper studies the appearance and role of some weapons which associated with the gods in ancient Egypt and shows its aspects and its scenes. The paper concluded that the physical weapons which appeared with the gods were used in the battles and conflicts from ancient times so most of the gods who used these weapons were represented in human form or in animal form with human hands holding the weapons. In addition to the physical weapons there were incorporeal weapons such as the magic. The hands and the wings were used also for protection. Keywords: Weapons, Gods, Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom. Introduction From most ancient times the Weapons were used in Egypt such as the spears, the battleaxe and the maces for the defense of the land as the scenes showed on the most ancient archaeological artifacts such as palettes, knives and maces but the ancient Egyptians sought the power and the support from their gods who supported and accompanied them with their weapons as it was appeared on the top of the lion and enemies palette where the standards of the gods with human hands leads the prisoners. (fig. 1). The study focuses on the association between some gods and some weapons such as knife, staves, bows, arrows, etc., and searches for this phenomenon in an attempt to understand and explain the motivation for using the weapons by the gods. -

Egyptian Gardens Alison Daines he gardens of ancient Egypt were an integral component of their religion Tand surroundings. The gardens cannot be excavated like buildings and tombs can be, but archeological relics remain that have helped determine their construction, function, and symbolism. Along with these excavation reports, representations of gardens and plants in painting and text are available (fig. 1).1 These portrayals were frequently located on tomb and temple walls. Assuming these representations were based on reality, the gardens must have truly been spectacular. Since the evidence of gardens on excavation sites often matches wall paintings, scholars are able to learn a lot about their purpose.2 Unfortunately, despite these resources, it is still difficult to wholly understand the arrangement and significance of the gardens. In 1947, Marie-Louise Buhl published important research on the symbol- ism of local vegetation. She drew conclusions about tree cults and the specific deity that each plant or tree represented. In 1994 Alix Wilkinson published an article on the symbolism and forma- tion of the gardens, and in 1998 published a book on the same subject. -

We investigate the surface distribution of the source regions of dust jets on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as a function of time. Methods. The dust jet source regions were traced by the comprehensive imaging data set provided by the OSIRIS scientific camera. Results. We show in detail how the projected footpoints of the dust jets and hence the outgassing zone would move in consonance with the sunlit belt. Furthermore, a number of source regions characterized by repeated jet activity might be the result of local topographical variations or compositional heterogeneities. Conclusions. -

(May 2012) Veronica Marie Morriss, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann In ancient Egypt, the Nile was both a lifeline and a highway. In addition to its crucial role for agriculture and water resources, the river united an area nearly five hundred miles in length. It was an avenue for asserting imperial authority over the vast expanse of the Nile valley. River transport along the inland waterways was also an integral aspect of daily life and was employed by virtually every class of society; the king and his officials had ships for commuting, as did the landowner for shipping grain, and the ‘marsh men’ who lived in the northernmost regions of the Nile Delta. -
