المومياء الوحيدة التي لم يجرؤ العلماء ورفضوا نزع الكتان عنها، لأنه لا يوجد إنسان ولا تكنولوجيا في العالم بأسره يمكنها إعادته كما كان ..

مومياء "باشيري" لم يجرؤ كل علماء المصريات على نزع اللفائف الكتانية عنها لصعوبة إعادته الى هيئته الأصلية الأولى وبنفس الدقة، فباتت كل المومياوات المكتشفة معروفة تفاصيلها وقصصها إلا هاته .

The only mummy that scientists did not dare to remove linen from, because there is no human or technology in the entire world that can restore it as it was.

The mummy of "Bashiri" did not dare all Egyptologists to remove the linen scrolls from it because of the difficulty of returning it to its original form and with the same accuracy, so all the mummies discovered are known their details and stories except these.

The Pyramid of Cestius

When visiting Ostia Antica from Rome, one must first take the metro to the train station of the Roma-Lido commuter line. Upon exiting the metro and heading toward the station, one is struck by the impressive sight of a steep, imposing marble pyramid rising beside the Piazza di Porta San Paolo. This is the Pyramid of Cestius.

The Pyramid of Cestius was a tomb constructed during the early reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BCE–14 CE). It served as the final resting place of Gaius Cestius, a proud member of the Septemviri Epulonum, one of the four great religious associations of Ancient Rome. This group was tasked with organizing banquets and feasts for games and festivals.

The pyramid's structure is unique and notably un-Roman in style, reflecting the Egyptomania that swept through the "Eternal City" after Augustus incorporated Egypt into the empire. Its steep shape is reminiscent of the pyramids in Nubia, rather than the massive, iconic tombs of the pharaohs in the heart of Egypt. However, steep pyramids were also present in Egypt, such as the private New Kingdom tombs at Deir el-Medina, so the inspiration for the Pyramid of Cestius likely lies within Egypt itself, rather than in more distant regions.

Remarkably, the pyramid is exceptionally well-preserved, as it was later incorporated into the Aurelian Wall. This practical function ensured its survival into the modern era. -O.G.

There is a full-length NUDE statue identified as Mark Antony in Egypt?? How did I not know this before? Why can't I find image of it anywhere on the internet?

Ancient pyramids have been found all over the world. There seems to be a pattern, or an underlying set of knowledge that drove the construction of these megastructures across continents.
