Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. Thatās not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in youāre looking at more likeā¦ 5,000 years.
Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE āBIRTH OF JESUS CHRISTā
We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.
Itās a really long time guys.
Anyway look. Listen. I sat my ass down and wrote out a timeline of āwhen shit happened if you started at 1ADā because I know backwards numbers are hard to process but hereās an abridged version.
If the first Egyptian Pharaoh came to power in 1AD thenā¦
300: step pyramid built
450: Great Pyramid at Giza built
815: Pepi II dies and civil war breaks out
950: Egypt re-unified
1350: Middle Kingdom ends
1450: New Kingdom begins
1520: Hatshepsut is on the throne
1650: Ahkenaten switches to monotheistic religion and builds a new city
1680: Tutankhamun dies
1720: Ramesses II āthe greatā ascends to the throne
1740: Worldās first peace treaty signed 1790: Ramesses II dies leaving way too many children
1920: Egypt breaks into 2 states again
And now we get to ~~~~the future~~~~. If we started at 1AD all of this stuff hasnāt happened yet
2050: Briefly re-united as a single state
2180: Civil war 2250: Nubian kings take over
2335: Assyrian conquest
2665: Alexander the Great conquers Egypt
2930: Cleopatra VII born
2970: Cleopatra VII dies. Egypt falls to Rome. Fin.
And thatās just starting with the Pharaohs. If you wanted to start with Predynastic Egypt, you can go ahead and ADD ONE THOUSAND YEARS to all of those dates
I hate that this is still getting notes but that itās getting notes *without the timeline addition* like cāmon, man. I had to do MATHS for this. I DID MATHS FOR YOU PEOPLE AND ALL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF RACISTS
āI really donāt see why I should pay you to write this for me. Youāre
a freelance writer. That means you should do it for free. Besides, I
would do it myself but Iām not some dirty artist type, Iām a business
woman!ā
Iām not even sure how Iām supposed to count these because some of these things I do eat but rarely and others I donāt like unless they are prepared a very specific way.
Some of these I canātĀ have because Iām allergic.
Iām at 22. Picky AF.
Only got 7
3 confirmed. Iāve never tried snails before so I dont know.
Depending on the situation there would be more. Like, I love blue cheese crumbles but hate the dressing. Iāll only eat yogurt mixed in something (or if itās made from goats milk but thatās super rare). Iāll eat liver if itās been cooked right but, like, liver and onions is a no.
12. Would be 11 because I enjoy it, but it upsets my stomach so I donāt eat it.
15, because I have a strong hate on for a lot of condiments and shellfish. So yeah, Iām pretty picky.
Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.
while the stuff in the foreground is dust/ice on the surface of the comet itself, the background is actually stars. i saw a stabilized video where you can really make it out, and it blew my mind.
hereās the stabilized clip, if anyoneās interested
I canāt get over the fact that this is real actual footage of the surface of a FUCKING COMET. like, itās got the grainy old-timey look of a video of the alps from the late 1800ās but PSYCH! THIS IS FROM OUTER SPACE HOLY FUCK SCIENCE IS AMAZING
WHENEVER YOU SEE THIS POST ON YOUR DASH, STOP WHAT YOUāRE DOING AND WRITE ONE SENTENCE FOR YOUR CURRENT PROJECT.
Just one sentence. Stop blogging for one minute and write a single sentence. It could be dialogue, it could be a nice description of scenery, it could be a metaphor, I donāt care. The point is, do it. Then, when you finish, you can get back to blogging.
If this gets viral, you might just have your novel finished by next Tuesday.
