She was the first queen to rule the world in 7,600 years.
“Walter Emery”, an Egyptologist who lived in Egypt for forty years, discovered eight tombs for the first dynasty, including the tomb of Queen “Merritt Net”, Radiant carbon determined the age of these mummies and were about 7,000 years ago, “Emery” said: It is the greatest tomb in ancient history, the tomb of Queen “Merritt Net”, this tomb has a dining room and a table in the form of a heart, either the second room, on every column the image of the Queen in a special costume, and the third room is the Queen’s bedroom.

Yetunde is a multidisciplinary artist and collaborator currently residing in Oakland, CA. Through her work she concerns herself with concepts of source, emotional labor, origin, vulnerability, and human connection.
I know almost everybody following me knows this but I can’t let this beautiful video go by without adding that the sea angel is a predator of another swimming mollusk, the “sea butterfly,” and pulls sea butterflies out of their shells with a set of retractable tentacles, covered in tiny barbs:
I love that they actually animate this in Animal Crossing: New Horizons now
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bursts of highly energetic gamma rays lasting from less than a second to several minutes – the blink of an eye on cosmological timescales. They are known to occur at huge distances from Earth, towards the limits of the observable Universe.
The VLT has observed the afterglow of a Gamma-Ray Burst that is the farthest known ever. With a measured redshift of 8.2, the light from this very remote astronomical source has taken more than 13 000 million years to reach us. It is thus seen when the Universe was less than 600 million years old, or less than five per cent its present age. It must have released 300 times as much energy in a few seconds as our Sun will in its entire lifetime of more than 10 000 million years. GRBs are therefore the most powerful explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang.
Researchers have tried to discover the nature of these explosions for a long time. Observations show that GRBs come in two types – short-duration (shorter than a few seconds), and long-duration – and it was suspected that two different kinds of cosmic event caused them.
In 2003, astronomers using ESO telescopes played a key role in linking long-duration GRBs with the ultimate explosions of massive stars, known as ‘hypernovae’. By following the aftermath of an explosion for a whole month, they showed that the light had similar properties to that from a supernova, caused when a massive star explodes at the end of its life.
In 2005, ESO telescopes detected, for the first time, the visible light following a short-duration burst. By tracking this light for three weeks, astronomers showed that the short-duration bursts – unlike the long-duration ones – could not be caused by a hypernova. Instead, it is thought that they are caused by the violent mergers of neutron stars or black holes.
