Discovering tut: the saga continues

This is a living example of technology advancement. We accepted things and events attributing their cause to nature and her wrath. However, advancement and technology could give us a different picture. This way, it has become a habit with us to accept everything that history states and dictates. On the process the modern world has found ways to offer a different view on it. In other words, the modern world has turn impossibilities to possibilities. Williams report gives an insight into this. A mummy scanned after a thousand years has opened new avenues regarding a cause of its death. The mummy referred to here is that of King Tut or Tutankhamen, meaning the living image of Amun. The earlier ruler, Amenhotep-IV has shocked the country by attacking Amun, a major God, smashing his images and closing all his temples. His family had ruled for centuries before the boy king, Tut took over. However, Tut ruled for nine years and then died both mysteriously and unexpectedly. The scanning of Tuts mummy also gave an insight as to how mummies were buried. Howard Carter, who scanned the body found it difficult to extract the mummy. The ritual resins had hardened thereby cementing Tut to the bottom of his solid gold coffin. Carter finally had to chisel the mummy away having no other option. Every major point was severed. Tut was buried with gold which was meant to guarantee the resurrection and was also buried with every day things he would need in his after-life. Tut also had things to take on his journey to the great beyondglittering goods, precious collars, necklaces and sandals, all of pure gold. The computed Tomography scan couldnt solve the mysterious death of Tut but gave us clues for sure. The X-rays and C.T. scan reveal a startling fact-the breast bone and the Pont ribs of Tut were missing. Such a revelation would not have been possible without technological precision. This fact gives us a clue that Tut, in all likelihood did not die a natural death. Technology hasnt been able to give us a definite answer to Tuts death. However, it has given us a direction to think and proceed. Maybe in future, technology would solve it for us. The whole excavation and the scan required scores of people. It was a grueling job and the workers had a tough time. After the pharaoh was rested in peace again, Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypts Supreme Council of Antiquities said, I didnt sleep last night, not for a second. I was worried. But now I think I will go and sleep. It just proves how tough the whole process was. In other words, King Tut is one of the first mummies to be scanned-in death as in life. He was famous when he was alive and his untimely death has raised the necessity to probe the lingering mysteries of this young ruler who died more than 3,300 years ago.

The laburnum top


The top of the Laburnum; a short tree with hanging branches, yellow flowers and poisonous seeds(: any of several small trees belonging to the genus Laburnum, of the legume family, having elongated clusters of pendulous yellow flowers, esp. L. alpinum, the Scotch laburnum;) is quite still and silent in the yellow afternoon of the September sunlight. The leaves of this tree are turning yellow and all its seeds are falling slowly. When the goldfinch(; a small singing bird with yellow feathers on its wings; a European finch, Carduelis carduelis, having a crimson face and wings marked with yellow: any of certain related American finches of the genus Carduelis, as C. tristis, the male of which has yellow body plumage in the summer;) comes with a twitching chirrup of suddenness, a Startlement; to disturb or agitate suddenly as by surprise or alarm: to cause to start involuntarily, by or as by a sudden shock: at a branch end. Just like a lizard which is sleek alert and abrupt she enters the thick branches of the Laburnum and starts up the machine of chitterlings; the small intestine of swine, esp. when prepared as food; a tremor of wings and Trillings. The whole tree trembles and thrills which is the engine of the goldfinchs family. She stokes; to poke, stir up, and feed (a fire): to tend the fire of (a furnace, esp. one used with a boiler to generate steam for an engine); supply with fuel: to shake up the coals of a fire: to tend a fire or furnace: the tree completely and flirts out to a branch-end, showing her barred face identity mask. Then with an eerie; Inspiring inexplicable fear, dread, or uneasiness; strange and frightening: Suggestive of the supernatural; mysterious; delicate whistle-chirrup whisperings, she launches away towards the infinite; immeasurably great: indefinitely or exceedingly great: unlimited or immeasurable in extent of space, duration of time, etc.: unbounded or unlimited; boundless; endless: and the laburnum subsides; to sink to a low or lower level; to become quiet, less active, or less violent; abate: to sink or fall to the bottom; settle; precipitate: to empty.

The voice of the rain


The speaker enquired from the soft falling shower as to who or what it really is? Though it may appear to be very strange to express it in words, yet the soft rain seemed to give the speaker an answer which can be translated as follows: that it is the poem of the earth that rises eternally from an impalpable; not palpable; incapable of being perceived by the sense of touch; intangible: difficult for the mind to grasp readily or easily:(of powder) so fine that when rubbed between the fingers no grit is felt; something that cannot be touched; portion of the land and the bottomless sea. Upward to heaven, to the immeasurable heights of the sky, from whence it vaguely forms, altogether change and yet the same. It descends to lave; (of a river, sea, etc.) to flow along, against, or past; wash: Obsolete. To ladle; pour or dip with a ladle: wash or bathe; the droughts; a period of dry weather, esp. a long one that is injurious to crops: an extended shortage; atomies; tiny particles; and the dust layers of the globe. All that is in the world without the rain were only seeds that are latent; hidden; and unborn. Eternally, day and night, and round the clock, it gives back life to its own origin, to make the earth pure and beautify it. (For song, issuing from its birth place, after fulfillment, wandering Reckd or unreckd, duly with love returns); to have care, concern, or regard (often fol. by of, with, or a clause): to take heed: Archaic . To be of concern or importance; matter.

Modern Science and Technology


Humour Intended: It's a lovely day when you 'search' the humorous way. Searching for information Is as simple as A - B - C. Sorry to boast but I'm the host, A hobby in land of the free. The answer to a small problem Is found by me quite easily. All on the net ~ not one regret Scene is set on my friendly PC. One plus one - the answer is two. Two plus one - the answer is three. No need for a high I.Q. Just trust in modern technology! I never count on my fingers the feedback appears immediately. Yes, 'searching' for information Is as simple as A - B - C. And may I give a little advice Think this over once or twice 'Searching' for Dogs, never type Cats 'Searching for Cats', never type Bats. Have a lovely day 'Searching' the humorous way.

Without Light
------------------------Without light, there would be darkness No warmth to felt, No heat to melt, No seed to sow, No animals to grow and No food to eat. Without light, the sky is not blue No colors to see, No rains to come, Rainbows are gone No thunderstorm to hear and Lightning to scare. Without light, fame is not for Him No theory of relativity, No fission to study, No atom bomb to explode and Radiation to be absorbed. Without light our eyes could not see No nearsightedness, No farsightedness, No face to see, Love at first sight could not be. But the truth there is light Light that gave birth to life Life that give us love, Love from God.

Time ---------The space tells your height The time makes you exist but Why you never wonder? Why you are here. When you look up at the stars You are looking at the past but What you never imagine? It is forever gone. Time always move forward and Never to be backward but What you may never think? Relativity defies something. What is always about to happen soon but Never actually happens But when you never know? It could be tomorrow. All things must change To something new, to something strange but What will never change? Time changes everything. But more important is you And because of you you are here and Time rest on YOU.
