As family was so important for Egyptians, it was essential to protect one’s relatives from evil. Several gods and goddesses appeared on amulets to safeguard the family. Taweret, a hippopotamus with large breasts, was the goddess of childbirth. Bes, a bandy-legged dwarf with a lion’s mane and protruding tongue, protected mothers and children. Heket was a goddess of fertility, represented by a frog.

Hieroglyphs: Unlocking Ancient Egypt
(October 2022 - February 2023)
For centuries, life in ancient Egypt was a mystery.
We could only glimpse into this hidden world, until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone provided the key to decoding hieroglyphs, allowing us to read this ancient script. The breakthrough expanded our understanding of human history by some 3,000 years.
Marking 200 years since the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, this major exhibition took visitors through the trials and hard work that preceded, and the revelations that followed, this ground-breaking moment.
Hieroglyphs were not just beautiful symbols, they represented a living, spoken language. From romantic poetry and international treaties, to shopping lists and tax returns, the hieroglyphic inscriptions and ancient handwriting in this exhibition revealed stories that are fantastically varied. As well as an unshakeable belief in the power of the pharaohs and the promise of the afterlife, ancient Egyptians enjoyed good food, writing letters and making jokes.
The show charted the race to decipherment, from initial efforts by medieval Arab travellers and Renaissance scholars to more focussed progress by French scholar Jean-François Champollion (1790–1832) and England’s Thomas Young (1773–1829). The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, with its decree written in hieroglyphs, demotic and the known language of ancient Greek, provided the key to decoding the ancient signs. The results of the 1822 breakthrough proved staggering.
Using inscriptions on the very objects that Champollion and other scholars studied, this immersive exhibition helped visitors to unlock one of the world’s oldest civilisations.

A girl in conflict with the law lays on the floor inside a cell at the Children Protection Brigade Center. Children waiting for trial or to be interviewed at the Center stay in a small cell for days before being released. Due to these difficult conditions, UNICEF has planned to build a new center respecting the Children Rights Convention to offer better conditions for the children. The new center will be open by year's end, as the second phase of a bigger project that also includes the construction of af building for interviews that was inaugurated today.

live.pirillo.com/ - DiscountBacon in the chat room wants to know what's more important when looking at firewall protection: incoming, outgoing, or both?Really, when looking at firewalls, you should consider both incoming and outgoing traffic protection, because attacks on your system may come from the outside, but if there's a virus or some other kind of nefarious program on your system it will already be transmitting out to the world.We recommend Comodo: it's powerful, good, and totally free for personal use.Unfortunately, most firewalls leak. But Comodo's Firewall is unique in that it passes all known leak tests to ensure the integrity of data entering and exiting your system. Comodo has put firewall through all kinds of sophisticated tests to ensure its firewall powerful enough to ward off these attacks with default settings. No other firewall has had to work this hard.

We followed the advice of the Kenya Wildlife Service and hired an armed guide to accompany us. George only cocked his rifle once, when we headed through a patch of scrubby trees.
There have been attacks on hikers in the hills - by man and buffalo alike - but we encountered several other groups that hadn't bothered with a ranger, including a band of German doctors and an enthusiastic Kenyan hiking group.
The evil eye is a widely distributed element of folklore, in which it is believed that the envy elicited by the good luck of fortunate people may result in their misfortune, whether it is envy of material possessions including livestock, or of beauty, health, or offspring.
The most common form, however, attributes the cause to envy, with the envious person casting the evil eye doing so unintentionally

Cars drive near this building, so it needs the posts to protect it. I suppose it's a lot cheaper to replace a post that fix a hole in the size of the building.
