I'm a little rock on a big mountain / Nobody's calling my name / Nobody's paying me mind / I'm a little drop from a big fountain / Oh I blend in & that's fine (Margaret Glaspy)

Wooden model of a boat from First Intermediate Period - Middle Kingdom
The Nile played an important part in the agriculture of the country and was the main artery for transporting both goods and people. Small model boats were often found in the tomb furnishing of the First Intermediate Period and the Middle Kingdom. They symbolized the Egyptian river landscape and everyday life on the banks of the Nile as well as the pilgrimage to Abydos, the place of worship of Osiris, the god of death.

"The Lasipalatsi (“glass palace” in Finnish), housing commercial premises, restaurants and a cinema, was completed in 1936, originally as a temporary building to serve visitors to the Olympic Games. The building’s design was the work of the architecture-student trio Viljo Revell, Heimo Riihimäki and Niilo Kokko. It is a textbook example of the open-minded new architecture of its time – a functionalist gem, which has retained its youthful verve."
"The art museum’s gently curved domes mark out various scales for diverse activities in the Square. These hill-like shapes are mostly sloped so as to allow people to walk over them. They serve as grandstands, stages or platforms for spending time freely. The restaurant terraces have been preserved, enhancing the potential spectrum of activities. Plenty of the Square’s flat surface is left around the roof hills, especially on the Turku Barracks side. These areas can be used for setting up temporary structures required for events."

"The Nest by Japanese sculptor Tadashi Kawamata is a two-part sculptural constellation constructed from reclaimed materials. Attaching itself to the Lasipalatsi (Glass Palace) building, the work is an alien presence in a familiar setting. Kawamata likens the installation to an avalanche of scrap crashing into the clean, white-washed facade of the 1930s functionalist building. Through subtle gestures and a play with scale the artist opens our eyes to the hidden potential in our surroundings.
Since the 1980s, Kawamata has carried out site-specific projects all over the world adding layers and structures to natural and urban spaces often in collaboration with local groups. For an annex to the Palace of Versailles, he created a waterfall of apple crates collected from local fruit vendors, and for Centre Pompidou he built makeshift wooden treehuts onto its iconic steel facade."
Detail from the fragment of a wall relief.
The part of the wall relief shows that Seti II was not the original owner of the monument. In the cartouche, the name of the former king has been re-carved with the name of Seti II. There is also an overlapping hieroglyphic writing in the upper left corner of the relief. The old text has not been deleted, the new hieroglyphs have just been carved over it.
The practice of usurpation / reuse, where a king added his name to what was made by a former king, and replaced it with his own name, was common.

The function of the water clocks was based on water that was poured into the container and would trickle out from a hole in the bottom. An hour scale was engraved on the inside. The scale made it possible to measure the passing of time - as the water surface descended, it would reach an hour mark at regular intervals.
