Let's go to ancient Pharaonic Egypt

Pharaonic antiquities refer to the ancient artifacts, structures, and monuments from the time of the pharaohs, These antiquities include The Great Pyramid of Giza,The Great Sphinx ,temples,Abu Simbel,Karnak Temple,Colossi of Memnon,Valley of the Kings,Abydos’ Temple of Osiris,, tombs, and statues that were built during this time period. Life in ancient Egypt was centered around the Nile River, which provided water for drinking, irrigation for crops, and transportation. The ancient Egyptians were skilled farmers who used the annual flooding of the Nile to their advantage. They also developed a complex system of writing, religion, art, and architecture.

Born on this day 91 years ago (23 May 1933): haughty veteran show biz diva, undisputed bitch goddess extraordinaire, camp icon and the woman forever known as Alexis Carrington - Dame Joan Henrietta Collins! In the spirit of generosity, because it’s her birthday, let’s draw a veil over Collins’ frankly unpleasant right-wing politics and support for UKIP! In terms of her trashy cinematic oeuvre, I treasure Collins’ performances in 1970s British horror schlock like Tales from the Crypt (1972) and Tales that Witness Madness (1973) (I’ve yet to experience the notorious Empire of the Ants (1977)), and the disco-era kitsch epics The Stud (1978) and The Bitch (1979) adapted from steamy novels by her sister Jackie. Pictured: young starlet Collins as Princess Nellifer in her big Hollywood break, Land of the Pharaohs (1955). (Tagline: “Her treachery stained every stone of the great pyramid!”). Collins was indebted to temperamental fashion model Ivy Nicholson (née Irene Nicholson, 1933 -2021), the original choice for the role. As Nicholson’s New York Times obituary outlined, “When Howard Hawks flew her to Egypt in 1954 for a role in his epic movie Land of the Pharaohs, she objected to the studio’s multiyear contract. So, as she later told the story, she bit one of the actors to get out of the deal. Her replacement was Joan Collins.” As for Nicholson, her wayward path led her away from both haute couture and Hollywood to underground stardom at Andy Warhol’s Factory.

Joseph Provides for His Family

1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan. 2 And behold, they are in the land of Goshen." And he took some of his brothers, five men, and presented them to Pharaoh. 3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" And they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers." 4 And they said to Pharaoh, "For we have come to live in the land, for your servants have no pasture left for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. And now please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen." 5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and brothers to live in the best of the land; in the land of Goshen let them live. And if you know men of ability among them, then make them overseers of livestock, over what is mine."

7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the years of your life?" 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years. Few and evil have been the years of my life, and I have not attained to the number of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage." 10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 11 And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded. 12 And Joseph nourished his father and his brothers, and all his father's household with bread, according to the number of their children.

13 And no bread was in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan wasted because of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the silver found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, in payment for the grain which they bought. And Joseph brought the silver into Pharaoh's house. 15 And when the silver was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence, for the silver is gone?" 16 And Joseph said, "Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the silver is gone." 17 And they brought their livestock to Joseph. And Joseph gave them bread for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. And he fed them with bread for all their livestock for that year. 18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year and said, "We will not hide it from my lord, that our silver is spent, also our herds of livestock have gone to my lord. Nothing is left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies and our lands. 19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants for Pharaoh. And give us seed to plant, that we may live and not die, that the land be not desolate."

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field because the famine prevailed over them and the land became Pharaoh's. 21 And as for the people, he caused them to go into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end of it. 22 Only he did not buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore they did not sell their land. 23 And Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have bought you this day, and your land, for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. 24 And it shall be, as you gather you shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your household, and for food for your little ones." 25 And they said, "You have saved our lives. Let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants." 26 And Joseph made it a law of the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, excepting only the land of the priests, which did not become Pharaoh's.

27 So the children of Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they had possession in it and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. And the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty-seven years.

29 And the time drew near for Israel to die. And he called his son Joseph, and said to him, "If now I have found grace in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt. 30 So that I may sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial site." And he said, "I will do according to your words." 31 And he said, "Swear to me." And he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself at the head of the bed. — Genesis 47 | A Faithful Version (AFV) Holy Bible, A Faithful Version © 2020 A Faithful Version. All Rights Reserved.

Land of the Pharaohs (1955), a weak Howard Hawks film. He made four - one in each decade.

however, upon further study, we were surprised to learn of a significant margin of middle aged men, apparently self-titled "gamers," wearing these same hair ornaments. It led us to question the validity of our initial hypothesis:

Did these ornaments only signify sexual availability, or did they create it?

This hair ornament, which resembles a pair of feline ears, was worn for apparent ritualistic purposes. Based on a survey of extant cultural images from the period, it is believed to have signified sexual availability.

His heart gave a slight squeeze when the masked stranger asked their question and his elated expression fell. But it lasted for only a moment before he regained his composer, allowing a small, pained smile to tug at his lips. "Yes, I was. Deeply, in fact. So deep that you could say I was drowning in the euphoria of it." He replied, his tone only providing a small hint of the sadness that the memory riddled him with. "But it did not last."

"I know that I will find love again. I may not know the when, how, or who, but I know that I will not remain alone in this existence. I just have to be patient."

Feeling absolutely feral about 1941 Aziraphale, having just realised he is in love with Crowley, IMMEDIATELY deciding to seduce him with a flashy rescue of his own.

Boy started scheming and showing off immediately. "Are you sure there isn't something I can do for you.... in return?" He's trying to find a way to make a mirrored love declaration! Then oh goodness, would you look at that, the bottles smashed and my demon seems to be in a bit of a pickle! Time for me to speak his love language and rescue him back! Let me just talk myself up and impress him! I'm the magician of the Pharaohs, I was trained by the best! Look at all the things in the shop I have knowledge of. Impressed yet, dear heart, love of my life? Ohhh a gun trick, I'm going to look so cool and manly! I know you love James Bond and Danger (tm), so I'm going to let you LARP the action hero and shoot me and I'm going to pull off an amazing escape just like your favourite character. Isn't that cool and neat and sexy of me?

The man is SHOWING OFF THE WHOLE TIME and the best bit is, even with the miracle fuckup, HE SUCCEEDED. He stuck the landing perfectly as he swept his sexy demon back to his place after a thrilling night of danger and smooth-as-fuck produced that polaroid over a glass of wine.

They've both loved each other for a very long time. But my god if Crowley didn't realise it right back that night after all that.

“The pyramids are so massive there’s no way ancient Egyptians built that” get a FUCKING GRIP. Ancient Egypt was an extraordinarily stable and well-developed society. It had consistent and reliable access to extremely fertile, arable and highly developed land that employed a massive army of reserve labour in the off season. It had navigable river access to the Mediterranean and coastal access to the Indian Ocean. It was situated right next to the wealthiest parts of the ancient world. Its ENTIRE CULTURE AND RELIGION revolved around the boundary between life and afterlife and the circle of life and death - pyramids started construction far before the pharaohs were even CLOSE to death. There are many MANY examples of protopyramidal structures and direct examples of pyramid construction even outside the reach of the fullest extent of the kingdom of Egypt, in Sudan. Literally what more proof do you need? If there really was strong evidence of alien construction, historians would literally be salivating at the prospect of understanding how that came to be. Denying the incredible human achievement that the pyramids constitute isnt just sad and racist, it’s bullheaded; you have to concede so much direct and tangible evidence to believe they weren’t built by the Egyptians.
