Correlation does not imply causation – unless it’s quantum. Nonetheless, the question remained of how they managed to say it. In this book, on page 16, Campbell Hurd-Mead described an ancient Egyptian female physician. I believe that it comes down to a category mistake. Where the Egyptologists saw a ceremonial gesture, Bonn saw a practical solution. Champollion’s phonetic reading of hieroglyphs has stood the test of time because it has the kind of coherence with other evidence that makes it nearly impossible to dispute: the meaning of the hieroglyphic script on the Rosetta Stone is found to match that of the Greek text, and similarly for other scripts that have Greek counterparts; the contents of hieroglyphic inscriptions fit with their archaeological and historical context; and the notion that Coptic is a descendent of the language of the ancient Egyptians fits both linguistic and historical evidence. In my view, it actually describes incomplete information about reality. From its inception, ancient Egypt was defined by its religious beliefs. “I thought that the results were very interesting and promising,” West tells OpenMind. Bear in mind that it was not known what language was spoken by the ancient Egyptians, and if nothing of it had survived, then a phonetic reading would have been impossible. [3] Another translation would be "Book of emerging forth into the Light". Drawing of a wall painting from the tomb of Djehutihotep, a semi-feudal ruler of an Ancient Egyptian province, 1880 BC. Research visits are usually short. The Egyptian Researcher Celebrated for Physics Breakthrough of the Year In recognition of Egyptian scientist Elham Fadaly's work with silicon-based material that can emit light, international publican Physics World named her achievement their number one Breakthrough of the Year. ScienceAlert - A funerary temple belonging to Queen Nearit has been discovered in the ancient Egyptian burial ground Saqqara next to the pyramid of her husband, … Giant 'Book of The Dead' Scroll Discovered in Ancient Egyptian Burial Shaft - Flipboard It was the ancient Egyptians themselves who provided Bonn with the key clue: a painting on the tomb of Djehutihotep from 1900 BC shows a group of men dragging a statue on a sled, while in front another person pours water on the sand. It turns out that the causal account of this experiment depends critically on the attitude one takes to the quantum state.
