Since it's cold and gray again in Germany, and I have a cold that's really annoying - here's a nice sunset I captured just a few days ago in warmer climes. Kind of like a cartoon, actually: Sunset over the Nile.

Dec 17th - Daughter of the Nile. Destiny waits at the water's edge.

Will you take it?

Ten countries agree #Nile water-sharing deal despite #Egypt’s opposition @egypt

When half of the major #rivers across the planet are experiencing extreme low-water conditions, you know this is not just regional #drought. The heating from #ClimateChange has entirely messed with the water cycle, so when extreme storms hit these systems, there is erosion and severe damage. Water is a precious resource that cannot be forgotten. #Amazon #Mississippi #Ganges #Mekong #Colorado #Nile #Mackenzie #Vistula #Danube #Yangtze #Po #Paraná #RioGrande #Indus #Murray

Hach, das ist ja heute fast wie früher, als ich jeden #Freitag neue #Music vom #BlitzRecordstore #Kiel nach Hause brachte Nur dass heute eben bestellt & geliefert wird. Neben der #ZealandArdor, die heute früh im Briefkasten lag, ist gerade eben die neue #Nile eingetroffen. #metal #deathmetal

In a new study published in Communications Earth & Environment (May 2024), researchers addressed this puzzle. When pyramids were built they sat next to a now-vanished branch of the Nile, which likely provided transport for workers and their materials #Egyptology #Nile #Egypts

They date from the so-called #OldKingdom (2700-2200 BC) and, according to current research, were located directly on a branch of the #Nile that no longer exists: the #pyramidsofGiza. The authors E. Ghoneim et al. (2024) called it "#Ahramat", and it led along all pyramids down to the #LishtPyramids. My blog article on "X" (former Twitter) specifically also talks about one of my visits in Giza.

Discovery of the branch, which ran alongside 31 pyramids, could solve mystery of blocks’ transportation.
