Rumours flying around here in Hurghada that at least one #sharkattack has left at least one person dead here in #Hurghada, #Egypt
Beaches have been closed (can confirm, we were ushered out of the sea by lifeguards from the hotel next door, as were all the hotel guests) until further notice.
Rumours are that it was a tiger shark. Initial rumours are that there have been attacks in 3 different locations in the south of the city.
Nothing concrete, nothing official yet.

The #Greek #magical papyrus PGM XIa was inscribed on the back of an #account dated to July 336 AD.
This is why we know that the magical text can be dated to the late 1st half of the 4th century at the earliest.
The handwriting adds more insight and the text is dated to the 4th/5th century.

#Egypt’s army spokesman’s initial statement about the border attack was incorrect. Israeli srcs said: the border policeman Mohammed Salah walked at night about 5 K to the emergency gate in the border fence (used by the Israeli army to cross the border when necessary, in coordination with the Egyptian army). He cut the plastic lock with a knife, before carrying out his 1st attack 150 meters from the gate, killing the male & female soldiers. Their bodies weren’t discovered immediately.

Today in Labor History June 5, 1967: Israel attacked Egypt and Syria, during the Six-Day War, resulting in its illegal occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, Gaza Strip & Golan Heights, and the displacement of 400,000 Palestinians. During the war, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Kuwait all supported the Arab coalition. Over 700 Israeli soldiers died in the war. 10,000-16,000 died on the Arab side. Additionally, 15 UN peacekeepers died, as well as 34 U.S. marines, navy and National Security Agents, who died when Israel torpedoed the USS Liberty, a U.S. spy ship that was in international waters. Israel claimed it was an accident and the U.S. government officially accepted this explanation. However, many believed it was a deliberate attack, including Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, and many survivors of the attack.

⚡️ 2 Israeli soldiers were killed by attackers from Egypt near the border. A manhunt followed and another Israeli soldier was killed while searching for the suspect. The suspect was later identified as an Egyptian policeman. The incident happened during a joint operation between Israeli and Egyptian security forces to hunt drug cartel members. The Egyptian Ministry of Defense stated that they will coordinate with Israel and maintain diplomatic relations. #Israel #Egypt… https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1819491/articles/179253255/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Archaeologists searching for the tomb of Cleopatra, the last queen of ancient Egypt, have uncovered a remarkable tunnel in a temple complex. The tunnel, which is 2.4 meters wide and 120 meters long, has a perfect square cross-section and a smooth floor. This shows that the ancient Egyptians had advanced engineering and mathematical skills.

OK, let's think a little about #solarpunk , #SolarEnergy , #FrankShuman and #AlternateHistory for a moment, which can also let us to some #WorldBuilding .
What if Frank Shuman's work in #Egypt in 1913 led us to a more sustainable world, with less contamination and a more rational use of our natural resources?
Perhaps our world would be better today...
We have proved the commercial profit of sun power in the tropics and have more particularly proved that after our stores of oil and coal are exhausted the human race can receive unlimited power from the rays of the sun.
— Frank Shuman, New York Times, July 2, 1916
What do you think about this? Should we consider this a #LostOpportunity ?
Could you think about how our world would be today?
