Pyramidal structure unearthed in Chupacigarro, Peru
Archaeologists excavating the Chupacigarro site in Peru have uncovered a previously unknown pyramidal structure. The Caral civilization, one of the oldest urban societies on the American continent, flourished between 3000 and 1800 BCE...

This is probably her most "mass market" work. It's an exploration of the idea of the pyramid as seen through the lens of archeology.

History for Granite is an interesting channel. Basically Douglas Rennie is a self-educated enthusiast for the history of the great #pyramids and their construction. As another amateur, I want to take issue with an assertion he makes in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Qe7xDf_ks
Basically he sees hoarder-level accumulations of jars of food and provisions in mastabas as evidence of "fear" -- that wealthy Egyptians feared they wouldn't have enough in the afterlife. I don't know if I agree.

For those interested in an evidence-based approach to pyramids, as opposed to fanciful new age garbage.

#Virtual #microscopy could be considered a sort of
“streaming on demand”
of image information in different zoom levels
and at different topographical regions of the original image.
The original file is at no time completely downloaded or locally stored.
The rate of data transmission rate depends on:
• the size of the smallest image subunit or “image tile”,
• the software used for image editing or rather for the segmentation into smallest picture subunits,
• the speed of the network and
• the performance of the terminal device
The microscopic scans are typically saved as so-called #image #pyramids.
In this process not only the high resolution image is saved but also smaller versions of the picture (similar to a pyramid)
in order to allow a later display without recalculations.
The figure shows an example of an image pyramid (in most cases “TIF-pyramid”), in which every smaller plane is always a quarter (sides: always half) of the prior plane.
Most manufacturers of microscope scanners, with some exceptions, follow this algorithm.
From the 1700 to early 1900s, Europe experienced a phenomenon known as Egyptomania - an obsession with all things Ancient Egypt. One of the most curious manifestations of this craze was the appearance of pyramid tombs in British graveyards. Many of these mausoleums have generated their own folklore. This pyramid in Brightling Churchyard, Sussex, contains the remains of 'Mad' Jack Fuller. Jack is said to be seated at a table set with a roast chicken and bottle of port - so he will not suffer hunger or thirst come Judgement Day. It's claimed the floor is scattered with broken glass. This is so the Devil - fearful of pricking his hooves - will not come to take Jack's soul.
