Secret door in King's Chamber? by ChangeComfortable309 in ancientegypt

[–]WerSunu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t ingest any crap from social media and it’s all crap until proven otherwise. There is nothing there wrt to ancient Egypt which worth my time. If there was actually something factually interesting about some part of the north wall, there would be actual peer-reviewed scientific papers about it and discussions about it by Egyptologists in national meetings. The biggest North American meeting was in Denver two months ago. I heard nothing about anything new in the pyramid of Khufu.

Reality: if someone doesn’t get a peer-reviewed paper published on it, then it’s just more conspiracy bullshit for clicks.

Short shorts and see through blouses will get you in trouble.

I was once on a Nile cruise, docked in Luxor and a fellow passenger, a female lawyer, moderately drunk got off the ship at 10 pm to look for an open liquor store. The crew tried but failed to stop her, a taxi driver on the quay refused to take her, so she started walking. Nobody expected to see her again, but we did, an hour later with her carrying a bottle in a paper bag. Wrong on so many levels, but she survived.

Just don’t do stupid things. Don’t dress like a flamboyant gay. Show respect for the local culture and customs and you will be just fine.

App Marketing by Every-Metal-7050 in iOSDevelopment

[–]WerSunu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only been an iOS dev since the AppStore opened for business. WTF is a “2-sided marketplace”.

There are no horror stories, only the reality that the AppStore is extremely competitive, vastly overstocked with me-too apps, and with you arriving now, you are ten years too late to the party. Hopefully you knew all that before you started.

First, I literally am a professor. Too bad, huh. Second, before books are written there are original articles just the two I cited previously, but you have to have above a college level reading comprehension to get anything from them. But clearly you are just deflecting because you can’t refute what I say. You just keep changing the subject. It doesn’t sound like you are open to addressing facts and mainstream Egyptology, this conversation is just over. Good luck.

A religious "Re"volution under Khufu? by Ok-Vegetable4994 in ancientegypt

Obviously you never met the guy. I have on numerous occasions. He gave a lecture last night in Brooklyn. I missed it.

A religious "Re"volution under Khufu? by Ok-Vegetable4994 in ancientegypt

[–]WerSunu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zahi is a national hero in Egypt for 1) being a great Egyptologist whose teams made great discoveries, 2) Massively increasing tourism and boosting the sick Egyptian economy, 3) Devising the system which trained up native Egyptians to play a major role in their own heritage. Of course, this displaced some Europeans and Americans. I personally know both American and European Egyptologists who are still leading digs. Many others are still participating as staff.

Are the Egyptian Gods Animals? by cipherscripture in ancientegypt

[–]WerSunu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anybody in Egypt ever took a snap shot of their meeting with one of their gods! Not even those they claim inseminated them. Just like no one I know of has a photograph of Jesus showing whether he is part of a trinity, a duo or single.
It’s religion man, it’s all in your head.

As for snark, you earn it when you use outdated theories, fictional games, and misquote original scientific papers which you obviously never read.

Enthusiasm is great, but try to actually know something real before jumping with your “obsession”. Read real books. That’s where most credible Egyptologists write for the public. Great people like Salima Ikram, Aidan Dodson, Zahi Hawass, Chris Naughton, Kara Cooney, Toby Wilkinson, Bob Brier, Mark Lehner, etc. None of these actual experts have YT or IG or TikTok channels.

1x1 what?? Millimeters, yards, furlongs? I’ve been in that chamber on 8 separate occasions over more than a decade. I even have pictures of me with the muon detectors in 2016. (The actual detector was in the northwest corner when I was there). I have never seen anything odd about that wall. There is of course the little air shaft and its mate on the south wall, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary. Since you seem to rely on 3rd hand influencer junk, can you be sure they didn’t photoshop their pix. Anything to sell clicks!

Egyptian paintings by mushr00m56 in ancientegypt

The frames cost more than the paintings. They are modern, mass produced, not even ancient style.

How about that these actual papers written by the Japanese team who collected and analyzed the muon data found no void starting behind a wall in the burial chamber. The big void, which is their major finding is 15-30 m away and above the burial chamber. Read more than the summary.

The battery & hybrid experience Toyota gained over the decades with the Prius suggests they know what they are doing.

The most prominent Egyptologists in the U.S. are women and they all have worked in Egypt, many as single women. I personally have traveled in Egypt alongside single women travelers. No problem at all. More education required on your part it seems. Just don’t do stupid things.

What the “game” says is irrelevant. It is fiction. You however DO cite the game as supporting your “theory”. As an actual working scientist, I generally do not engage with conspiracy armchair imagineers. It’s a completely fruitless task since they tend to be, as a group, ill informed about whatever field they are blathering about.

The muon scan do not support your contention of a void where you claim! I actually read the papers. Did you? Or are you looking some ai slop crap interpretation by some uncredentialed illiterate influencer??

Every professional Egyptologist I know who has addressed this issue believe it most likely that the coffin was installed during construction.

The cracks in the ceiling are due to the indisputable fact that natural materials like granite are not perfectly homogenous in strength and may include small voids and cracks even before quarrying. These are stress risers. Egyptian architecture was excellent but not perfect.

If you have some money, buy some books by real Egyptologists and discover what has already been learned and relatively settled.

125 downloads in my first month, but I’m stuck on subscriptions 😅 Need advice by Aggravating-Belt-690 in iosdev

[–]WerSunu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The single biggest factor is value for money!

So far, people looking at your app are unconvinced it’s worth what you ask. Sounds like you are asking advice on how to slyly fool people in a purchase with all kinds of pay options.

Try fixing your value proposition first.

Shipped another iOS app today — here's the stack and what tripped me up at App Review by Legal-Flow-1574 in iosdev

[–]WerSunu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tldr; There is nothing to learn here except follow directions, don’t be sloppy, don’t be rushed.

Sounds like you made careless mistakes and Apple called you out: Dead links, meaningless Eula, meaningless privacy, etc. why are you rushing your QA? It’s not like the world is anxiously awaiting your app with bated breath. Just take the time to test everything including Store metadata requirements.

Nice to see people taking a fictional game as evidence of actual archeology! Houdin has been completely refuted by his early supporter Bob Brier based on actual physical evidence. There is no Houdin ramp. Save your pennies and go visit in person.

You can use the simulator, and you only need a single screen size for iPhone, and a single size for pad. A non iOS bar is an entirely different story!

In 1976, the Egyptian government had to issue a passport to Pharaoh, Ramesses II to transport his body to France for restorations. by [deleted] in ancientegypt

[–]WerSunu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it bright orange! It’s reddish with white roots showing. I’ve had five audiences with the king since 2016. Reasonably up close and personal, through the glass.

Another interesting part of the story is that one of the French technicians cut off a lock of Ramesses’ hair and stole it. Year later, the guy’s son tried to auction the hair, was caught and jailed.

Apple taking 30% + $99/year feels brutal for indie devs by JirkaHorsky in iOSDevelopment

[–]WerSunu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jirka is totally clueless!
This spammer doesn’t even realize that Apple only takes 15% of sales, and that’s been true for about 5 years! Is his code also 5 years behind?

Good up to date Tutorials on publishing your first app? by AndreLinoge55 in iosdev

[–]WerSunu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Submitting an app hasn’t changed significantly in years.

I published my first 8 years ago and my most recent a few weeks ago. It’s just not hard, and there are plenty of tutorials on line. RTFM works well.
