Which woman in ancient Egypt was depicted with a man's beard?

In 1490 BC, Pharaoh Thutmose II died suddenly. His wife, half-sister and co-ruler Hatshepsut, the guardian of her infant adopted son (Thutmose III), declared herself pharaoh, explaining this by the alleged prediction of the god Amun.

The artists depicted Hatshepsut with a beard and in men's attire. Her reign was the time of the cultural and economic prosperity of Egypt, which was facilitated by the policy of peace pursued by the queen, but during her reign Egypt's possessions in Palestine and Syria were almost lost.

In 1468, Thutmose III overthrew her stepmother from the throne, and then ordered her to be killed and her name removed from all temple inscriptions and royal scrolls.

Who Invented the Pencil?

Modern pencils are no more than 200 years old. Approximately 500 years ago, graphite was discovered in the mines of the city of Cumberland in England. It is believed that at the same time began to produce and graphite pencils.

In the German city of Nuremberg, the famous Faber family began making pencils from 1760 using graphite powder, but not entirely successfully. Finally, in 1795, a certain Comte invented pencils made from a mixture of graphite and certain types of clay and fired in a kiln. This technology is still used today.

"Simple" pencils are made of graphite, which leaves a dark mark on paper.

In the production of pencils, dry graphite powder is mixed with clay and water. The more clay, the harder the pencil, the more graphite, the softer the lead. After the mixture is formed into a paste-like paste, it is passed through a molding press, obtaining thin sticky ropes. They are straightened, cut to size, dried and sent to the kiln for firing. Wooden blanks from cedar or pine are cut in half lengthwise and a groove for the lead is cut out. Both halves with lead are then glued together. The boards are cut into pencils, their outer side is polished.

Today, more than 300 types of pencils are produced for various activities. You can buy simple pencils of different hardness or order pencils in 72 colors! There are pencils for writing on glass, fabric, cellophane, plastic and film. There are pencils used in construction that leave marks on outdoor surfaces for years!

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
