Print of the translation (1789)
Bologna, paper
Early Italian collections were studied by Danish antiquarian and coin specialist Georg Zoëga (1755–1809). Zoëga became the leading Egyptologist of his generation and was almost successful in decipherment. He rejected the view that hieroglyphs concerned occult sciences and magical rites, reading many inscriptions instead as praise of kings and gods. His early copy of the hieroglyphs on this statue is the only evidence of its now lost inscription.
Bes (747–332 BC)
Egypt, wood
This magical sculpture depicts the god Bes protecting Horus as a child. Notice the faded hieroglyphs on the back. Pouring water over the words unleashed their power.
Zoëga’s comments on the underside of the accompanying drawing show that he exchanged technical information about the object with scholars in England: ‘British Museum. Sycamore wood, covered with a bituminous substance like pitch, above which the hieroglyphs are painted in yellow.’ The sculpture had been part of the British Museum’s collection since 1785.

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.

This conveyer belt moves coal from the bituminous coal mines at Black Mesa to the tower next to the highway. From here it's loaded onto a train that brings it to the Navajo Generating Station outside Page, Arizona. Anyone ever read the Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey? Both the conveyer and the train were sabotaged by Hayduke & Co.

"In the 1970s, the cokeworks employed 1,500 men and produced some 515,000 tonnes of coke each year. It continued to do so until 1986, when coal was privatised."
llantwitfardrecommunitycouncil.org
"Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Coke made from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is man-made. The form known as petroleum coke, or pet coke, is derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes."

STRIPPING COAL AT HAZELTON, PENNSYLVANIA
Most coal is mined by sinking a shaft either from the surface of the earth downward or into the side of a hill. Here, however, you see an exception. At Hazleton, the coal vein lies so near the surface of the earth that the easiest way to mine it is to remove the dirt overlay. The dirt so removed is called strippings. The stripping is done by the big machines, one of which you see at work in the middle distance at the left. These machines weigh almost 50 tons and remove great paths of earth. The strips are about 25 feet wide and 10 feet deep. You can see in the view where the machine began to work, and the amount of earth it has removed.
You will also observe that the stripping has been removed much deeper directly in the center of the view. Here the layer of coal has been tapped. All this great mountain of earth on the left remains to be taken away. But, it is cheaper to do this than to mine the coal underground.
After the stripping has been removed, the coal is taken out from the top. In this way it can all be mined. In mining from shafts it is necessary to leave, at certain distances apart, supports of coal to hold up the ceiling.
Pennsylvania coal beds are the most important in our country. Two kinds of coal are mined in the state, bituminous and anthracite. The anthracite, or hard coal field, is rather small. It centers in three counties near Scranton. The bituminous, or soft coal beds, are largely in the western part of the state around Pittsburgh. These beds were discovered about 1790. But the coal was not used for many years because it would not burn. Coal-mining did not begin as a business until about 1820.

An Icthyosaure and a Crocodile Marin which lived 180-200 million years ago. They are displayed at the Neuchâtel Museum of Natural History. They were recovered from bituminous schiste in the region of Holzmaden (Southern Germany) from sediments laid down in calm water, under conditions very like those in the Black Sea today.
