#Egyptian doors

[egyptian-architecture]

The scene showing metal workers is part of a wall depicting different professions in the tomb of Rekhmire', vizier of Tuthmosis III and Amenophis II. Above, the fires are kept ablaze with foot-operated bellows; below, the men are casting bronze doors in a large mould. The inscription states that the bronze is brought from Asia, from the land of Retjenu. Atlas of Egyptian art. Page 119

They need to bring back Kai's overprotective big brother vibes and his undying hatred, attack-on-sight for Garmadon

I have not yet finished Ninjago because the streaming services I have keep messing up the season/episode order, but I agree! Don't know who Garmadon is, but I agree!

The good name

As this has come up occasionally - what were Egyptian names like, what were Egyptians called... I've just looked through pictures I took at museums and noticed that I do have a few nice examples where peoples "good names" are given.

The first is a stela from Akhmim, dating to the Old Kingdom, which shows a man called wsr-mjn (Usermin) in front of an offering table (left side). His name is given in the upper line with the offering formula and then again with his title Hm-nTr (priest) in the middle column. In front of him there's another name: His rn-nfr, his good name - which was Wedja. This would have possibly been a name he would have been called in life, similar to a nickname. The stela is now in the Scottish National Museum but unfortunately their display does not offer an accession number.

The second piece was once part of a limestone false door and dates from the Old Kingdom as well, this time coming from Dendera. The man shown on the left is called ppj-mn-anX (Pepi-Men-Ankh) which is given in the last column of the text. You can clearly see that the name is basilophorous, i.e. it incorporated the king's name, because that part is framed with a cartouche. Underneath that name, again, there's his rn-nfr: Mnj (Meni). The fragment is now in the Manchester Museum and has the number 3503.

Egyptian had three words written "sbꜣ".

One was pronounced síbaʀ and meant Star/Meteor (𓋴𓃀𓄿𓇼𓇳).

The other was sabíʀ and meant Door/Gateway (𓋴𓃀𓇼𓄿𓉐).

One was pronounced sábaʀ and meant "to teach" (𓋴𓃀𓇼𓀜).

𓋴 is s, 𓃀 is b, 𓄿 is ꜣ (ʀ).

𓇼 is star, 𓇳 is sun, 𓉐 is house.

Note also how they use 𓇼 in the other words to reinforce that "they're pronounced like star".

They became quite different in Coptic:

Star = ⲥⲓⲟⲩ (siu)

Door = ⲥⲃⲉ (sbe)

Teach = ⲥⲃⲱ (sbô)

THE LAND BEFORE SNOW

IF TIME STANDS STILL ANYWHERE, IT’S AT BEDE. IF GHOSTS HAUNT ANYWHERE, IT’S IN BEDE HALL. But ghosts are nothing compared to the challenges haunting a curmudgeonly building with a desire for eternal life. BEDE HALL WAS ALIVE BUT EVEN IN BEDE, IMMORTALITY WON’T LAST FOREVER! History comes and goes. Empires rise and fall, civilizations flourish and cultures collide. The laws of probability…

Studio PBP Reimagined by Moonwoodhollow I love Del Sol Valley, it's a great world that unfortunately offers very little when it comes to the prebuilds, which is why I always steered clear of it, except for building in the less glamorous neighbourhood. When a lovely person commissioned me to rebuild Studio PBP in an Art Déco style I was a bit intimidated at first but thanks to the absolutely incredible Bioshock CC-Set (1|2|3) by @surely-sims, @doctorsimcraft and @lumenniveus I was able to recreate Studio PBP as a lounge/bar/nightclub worthy of Del Sol Valley and its celebrities. I hope you'll enjoy this build and escape to the roaring twenties with your sims!

More screenshots, info + download link under the cut!

building background

Art Déco is one of the best-known architectural styles of the first half of the 20th century and originated from Jugendstil, Cubism and a few other art and architectural styles (Wiener Secession, Avantgarde, Futurism to name a few) in the latter half of the 19th century. While it's a global architectural style, there are a few regional differences, but for Studio PBP I concentrated on mostly US-American Art Déco buildings and used a somewhat less playful style for the facade that is still very bold. Since Art Déco was also hugely influenced by Ancient Egyptian art and architecture and Mesopotamian Architecture, I added some 'Egyptian' details to the lot in the forms of columns, sphinx and statues. There's so much more to write about this multi-faceted gorgeous architectural style, but this is meant only as a small introduction and to set the mood for the build:

So what do you get?

Studio PBP Reimagined is a 40x30 lot best placed in Del Sol Valley in the Starlight Boulevard neighbourhood. The lot is currently set as a bar lot but is playtested for the lounge and nightclub lot type as well. Currently, everyone regardless of their celebrity status can visit the lounge, if you'd like to change this you'd need to change the entry doors on the first floor. The lot consists of 3 floors and a huge outdoor pool area where your sims can lounge or swim. The first floor is designed to host the Starlight Accolades, whereas the 2nd floor is the bar area of the lot, where your sims can sip cocktails, and hold clandestine business or affair meetings... I won't judge! The 3rd floor is the nightclub portion of the building and is perfect for dancing the night away!

Uses items from the following packs: looks best with almost all packs. But a tip: take a look at the build in the gallery and click on the packs to see the items I used from that pack, it will also look good with fewer packs, as in without the kits.

Download: google drive (430mb) | and up on the gallery: aeromantica (but you’ll need the cc from the drive folder)

Is the cc included? yes.

-> The cc is updated for DX11.

TOU: Please don’t claim as your own or put behind paywalls etc. If you find any issues please let me know + tag me if you’ll use the building, I’d love to see it in your games.

If you like what I do and want to show your appreciation, I have a ko-fi!
