Statue of Ramesses II, one of several such figures that acted as pillars in the forecourt of the temple of Gerf Hussein in Nubia, which consisted of a rock-cut sanctuary approached by the aforementioned pillared forecourt. Sadly the rock-cut section of the temple was abandoned to the rising waters of Lake Nasser in the 1960s and remains submerged today, but the forecourt was rescued and only recently reassembled, the best of the figures here with the remainder of the structure rebuilt at New Kalabsha nearby.
Aswan's Nubian museum opened in 1997 and houses an extensive collection of sculptures and artefacts from across the former land of Nubia immediately south of Aswan which was flooded in the 1960s following construction of the High Dam (most of ancient Nubia now lies beneath the waters of Lake Nasser).
The Museum is a more worthy replacement for the old Aswan Museum and enhances the city one of the newest and most rewarding museums in Egypt.
The service module for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft was moved into the Final Assembly and System Testing (FAST) Cell inside the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it will be integrated with the crew module before being handed over to NASA's Exploration Ground Systems for fueling.
After visiting Auschwitz I in March 1941, it appears that Himmler ordered that the camp be expanded, although Peter Hayes notes that, on 10 January 1941, the Polish underground told the Polish government-in-exile in London: "the Auschwitz concentration camp ...can accommodate approximately 7,000 prisoners at present, and is to be rebuilt to hold approximately 30,000." Construction of Auschwitz II-Birkenau—called a Kriegsgefangenenlager (prisoner-of-war camp) on blueprints—began in October 1941 in Brzezinka, about three kilometers from Auschwitz I. The initial plan was that Auschwitz II would consist of four sectors (Bauabschnitte I–IV), each consisting of six subcamps (BIIa–BIIf) with their own gates and fences. The first two sectors were completed (sector BI was initially a quarantine camp), but the construction of BIII began in 1943 and stopped in April 1944, and the plan for BIV was abandoned.
SS-Sturmbannführer Karl Bischoff, an architect, was the chief of construction. Based on an initial budget of RM 8.9 million, his plans called for each barracks to hold 550 prisoners, but he later changed this to 744 per barracks, which meant the camp could hold 125,000, rather than 97,000. There were 174 barracks, each measuring 35.4 by 11.0 metres (116 by 36 ft), divided into 62 bays of 4 square metres (43 sq ft). The bays were divided into "roosts", initially for three inmates and later for four. With personal space of 1 square metre (11 sq ft) to sleep and place whatever belongings they had, inmates were deprived, Robert-Jan van Pelt wrote, "of the minimum space needed to exist".
The prisoners were forced to live in the barracks as they were building them; in addition to working, they faced long roll calls at night. As a result, most prisoners in BIb (the men's camp) in the early months died of hypothermia, starvation or exhaustion within a few weeks. Some 10,000 Soviet prisoners of war arrived at Auschwitz I between 7 and 25 October 1941, but by 1 March 1942 only 945 were still registered; they were transferred to Auschwitz II, where most of them had died by May.
The first gas chamber at Auschwitz II was operational by March 1942. On or around 20 March, a transport of Polish Jews sent by the Gestapo from Silesia and Zagłębie Dąbrowskie was taken straight from the Oświęcim freight station to the Auschwitz II gas chamber, then buried in a nearby meadow. The gas chamber was located in what prisoners called the "little red house" (known as bunker 1 by the SS), a brick cottage that had been turned into a gassing facility; the windows had been bricked up and its four rooms converted into two insulated rooms, the doors of which said "Zur Desinfektion" ("to disinfection"). A second brick cottage, the "little white house" or bunker 2, was converted and operational by June 1942. When Himmler visited the camp on 17 and 18 July 1942, he was given a demonstration of a selection of Dutch Jews, a mass killing in a gas chamber in bunker 2, and a tour of the building site of Auschwitz III, the new IG Farben plant being constructed at Monowitz.
Use of bunkers I and 2 stopped in spring 1943 when the new crematoria were built, although bunker 2 became operational again in May 1944 for the murder of the Hungarian Jews. Bunker I was demolished in 1943 and bunker 2 in November 1944. Piper writes that plans for crematoria II and III show that both had an oven room 30 by 11.24 metres (98.4 by 36.9 ft) on the ground floor, and an underground dressing room 49.43 by 7.93 metres (162.2 by 26.0 ft) and gas chamber 30 by 7 metres (98 by 23 ft). The dressing rooms had wooden benches along the walls and numbered pegs for clothing. Victims would be led from these rooms to a five-yard-long narrow corridor, which in turn led to a space from which the gas chamber door opened. The chambers were white inside, and nozzles were fixed to the ceiling to resemble showerheads. The daily capacity of the crematoria (how many bodies could be burned in a 24-hour period) was 340 corpses in crematorium I; 1,440 each in crematoria II and III; and 768 each in IV and V. By June 1943 all four crematoria were operational, but crematorium I was not used after July 1943. This made the total daily capacity 4,416, although by loading three to five corpses at a time, the Sonderkommando were able to burn some 8,000 bodies a day. This maximum capacity was rarely needed; the average between 1942 and 1944 was 1,000 bodies burned every day.
This is the UMM Alter II, a Portuguese all terrain vehicle.
Portugal was never famous for its auto industry, this being one of the most successful ones.
They were produced from 1986 to mid-nineties, used Peugeot engines and many can still be found on our roads. This is the short soft top version.
About the model, it has doors and hood that open, engine, detailed interiors, steering and rear suspension.

Frédéric II a régné sur la Prusse de 1740 à 1786. Il a attaqué avec succès l’Autriche et a conquis des territoires polonais et silésiens, transformant la Prusse en une puissance mondiale ce qui valut le titre de «Frédéric le Grand». Toutefois, les Berlinois le surnomment «Alte Fritz» (le Vieux Fred)...
La construction de cette statue équestre, d'une hauteur de 13,5 mètres, s'est faite de 1839 à 1851 sous l'œil attentif de son créateur, Christian Daniel Rauch. Frédéric se trouve sur Conde, son cheval favori, vêtu de son uniforme officiel (costume de sacre, tricorne et bottes à revers) et porte un long bâton. Au pied de cette statue, sont repréésentées nombre de grandes figures de son règne.

Second time I've seen this one out and about on a weekday.
Had done approaching 132k miles at its last MoT test in 2020, since when it has taken advantage of being exempt.
NIGMS-funded researchers led by Roger Kornberg solved the structure of RNA polymerase II. This is the enzyme in mammalian cells that catalyzes the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA, the molecule that in turn dictates the order of amino acids in proteins. For his work on the mechanisms of mammalian transcription, Kornberg received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2006.

Modeling the new black & gold & "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Dynamic Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Odyssey Physics here:
herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

After looking through my work,what do you think about Nikob vs. Sony? Do you prefer the Nikon D810 and Nikkor / Tamron / Sigma lenses /glass, or the Sony A7r and Sony Sonnar Carl Zeiss e-mount glass/lenses? I love them both! And I am so excited about the Sony A7rII !

I told myself that I would someday rebuild the Mistral. So here she is, the Mistral II. Better than the original and based on the Paris World's Fair 1855 Exhibition on top of Eiffel Tower like iron work. She carries 5 propeller assisted ornithopter fighters with gatling guns and 5 auto gyro bombers.
Behistun I & II
The 2 side by side Parthian era rock relieves known as Behistun I aka Mithridate II’s audience (Left), and Behistun II aka Gotarzes II’s victory over Meherdate were carved down the rocky cliff already hosting Darius’s the Great's stone record .
Behistun I (123-88/87 BCE) has been about completely erased in 1684 by a the carving of an inscription written in Persian, paying tribute to a Safavid local governor. From the initial panel, we can just distinguish a character and 2 caped silhouettes on the left, and a Greek inscription above. Fortunately a Drawing by French traveller Guillaume-Joseph Grelot in 1673 let us know how this relief looked like. On the right, King Mithridate II standing, overlooks 4 noblemen, may be some of his satraps. The king hails his hand up with 2 sticky fingers, some of the other characters hold some objects, one being probably a cup, another being a Nikë, Greek divinity testifying as the above inscription, of the Greek influences the Parthian art included from the Seleucids.
Behistun II has been carved later, during the reign of king Gotarzes II, and was intended to remind and celebrate his victory against his rival Meherdate. The relief was badly damaged by erosion. It shows an equestrian assault: Gotarzes, riding a horse is followed by 2 other knights, and kills an enemy with his lance, blowing the unfortunate off his horse. Again, the Greek divinity Nikê is represented above the scene. Such relief, clearly inspired the Sasanian later iconography, as many sasanian rock relief show a similar scene: such as Bahram II at naqsh-e Rostam VII.
Taken at behistun, province of Kermanshah, Iran, May 2009.

One uncut sheet, of folded paper
Designed and folded by Alexander Soukas
This piece was part of a commission I did for an exhibit at the Dana Hall School entitled, "Paper." This piece in particular was constructed as a demo as part of a lecture and class. I realize I haven't uploaded anything origami related in ages! Don't think that I haven't been designing - there's more where this came from!
Aos que ja me conhecem dos meus dois antigos flickrs, devem lembrar das series que costumava postar neles, ainda não tenho certeza se farei novamente estas series, mas gostaria de homenagear a memoria de um BRASILEIRO que apesar de sido mencionado diversas vezes em nossas salas de aula, não tem sua historia conhecida.
Um dos personagens da historia brasileira que mais admiro, vou tentar aos poucos postando sobre sua vida...

Dom Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga de Bragança e Habsburgo, chamado O Magnânimo (Rio de Janeiro, 2 de dezembro de 1825 — Paris, 5 de dezembro de 1891) foi o segundo e último Imperador do Brasil de facto.
D. Pedro II foi o sétimo filho de Dom Pedro I e da arquiduquesa Dona Leopoldina de Áustria. Sucedeu ao seu pai, que abdicara em seu favor para retomar a coroa de Portugal, à qual renunciara em nome da filha mais velha, D. Maria da Glória. Pelo lado paterno, era sobrinho de Miguel I de Portugal, enquanto, pelo lado materno, sobrinho de Napoleão Bonaparte e primo dos imperadores Napoleão II da França, Francisco José I da Áustria e Maximiliano I do México. Sendo o irmão mais novo de D. Maria da Glória, também fora tio de D. Pedro V e D. Luís I, reis de Portugal.
Herdeiro do trono
D. Pedro de Alcântara João Carlos Leopoldo Salvador Bibiano Francisco Xavier de Paula Leocádio Miguel Gabriel Rafael Gonzaga nasceu no Paço de São Cristóvão, na capital brasileira, Rio de Janeiro, em 2 de dezembro de 1825, filho de D. Pedro I, imperador do Brasil e Dona Maria Leopoldina da Áustria, arquiduquesa da Áustria.
Seu nascimento foi comemorado com festas durante três dias no Rio de Janeiro. Sendo o único filho homem do Imperador dom Pedro I a sobreviver à infância, tornou-se o herdeiro da coroa imperial do Brasil, com o título de Príncipe Imperial. Mas tornou-se órfão de mãe com pouco mais de um ano de idade e na infância, o visconde de Barbacena o considerou um “menino magrinho e muito amarelo”, e que sofria constantemente de febres e ataques convulsivos. Do pai, recebeu carinho e afeto, revelando uma grande ternura pelo filho e dizia com orgulho: “Meu filho tem sobre mim a vantagem de ser brasileiro”. Verdadeiramente, o pequeno príncipe era antes um símbolo, por ser considerado “genuinamente brasileiro”.
