Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel


At the place that is 345 kilometers from Theba or modern Luxor is the temple of Abu Simbel. Actually, in that place is two temples, the bigger one was for Ramses II. The smaller temple is made for his favorite wife Nefertari. Ramses II built a large temple in the rock at the place, which is locating 850 kilometers from Giza. Officially Ramses II created that monument for memory of one of his battles, but as we know that the real reason for making that temple could be something else than Ramses told to people. 


Temples of Abu Simbel are made 1284-1262 BC. There are no mentions that Ramses II ever visited or supervised that construction himself. That temple locates on the upper side of River Nile, and if something put the Nile in that place, that thing would float to Theba, and this thing causes questions was a young pharaoh send down to the river when some part of his training was done.

The remote location from the capital and other cities of Egypt is causing discussion, which Pharaoh made with that place. The thing is that there are theories that Pharaoh used Abu Simbel for some kind of meditation place, or that place could be excellent for training young pharaoh because the entrance and access to that area can easily be controlled. 


The thing is that Abu Simbel is locating in the remote location is interesting. Nobody makes that kind of place for fun, and that means there must be some purpose in that kind of temples. If we are thinking that Abu Simbel temple is built only for the memory of some battle, we must realize that the temple is somehow too massive for that purpose. 


So even if the pharaoh told that some monument is made for some reason, the real reason could be something else. And there is a possibility that this kind of place has been forgotten or pharaoh might not visit there quite often. 345 kilometers was quite a long journey at that time, and this means that the pharaoh must have time to make that journey.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru
