@@Lefrog420Blazin this product is not intended to be used for smoking cessation. It is intended to be used like a cup of coffee. You can use it for smoking cessation but that fact does not change that the design is built against the intention of smoking cessation. They do not offer dosage step down to ultimately get you off nicotine, they only offer the highest legal nicotine dosage for sale. That strongly implies they want users to get on their product not off nicotine and their mission statement confirms that.

Fun fact. Khufu buried his mother Hetepheres I right next to his pyramid to keep her close to him. The renowned Egyptologist Joann Fletcher credits him as historys first known “mamas boy”. He also buried a big boat next to the pyramid which is probably the ancient equivalent of a frat boy getting buried with his favourite car.

Actually, they continued to built pyramids during most of the following 28-ish dynasties. They just built them differently...in a bad way. Mudbrick cores instead of rock cut blocks like early pyramids. So when the casing stones were scavenged the mudbrick cores quickly deteriorated and crumbled. They almost look like natural hills now.

Progressive societies do not go backwards with their engineering and technology. The later pyramids were garbage because those were the ones that were actually built by the Egyptians that they speak of period. Everything else with megalithic structure was built by a society that was over 10000 years old. They got wiped out by the Younger Dryas.

@varyolla435
@varyolla435 Жыл бұрын
lol! Fortunately the ancient Egyptians did not need to recruit. The Pharaons maintained a caste of professional craftsmen who were "salary workers" - their salary being providing them housing and a stipend of food. Thus freed from the need to seek daily sustenance they could focus upon their task. These were supplemented by a labor pool of seasonal workers. Able-bodied Egyptians were required to labor part of each year on public works via _"the corvee."_ As an aside. Herodotus stated these workers were rotated out every 90 days and replaced by new gangs. As they did specific tasks being broken down into organized teams they would like factory workers on an assembly line require minimal training. Their supervisors would be experts like the caste of craftsmen who oversaw these gangs. 🤔

Considering the perks labourers got, working on the pyramids was likely seen as a very good job, probably even a coveted one, the sort you'd want your younger sons or relatives to do since it'd keep them employed for most of their working lives if your farm/plot couldn't support them Plus back then coinage wasn't a thing and so you paid your taxes in a few different ways, giving some of what you grew/made to the king or doing labour on public works. So you'd sign up for a season working on Khufu's pyramid, eat like (or close to) a king and pay your families taxes to boot

From what I recall, the Bent Pyramid has that shape due to instabilities during construction, which prevented completion as originally designed. It was decided to cap it off quickly by changing the angle.
@varyolla435
@varyolla435 3 жыл бұрын
Correct. It was initially built too steep coupled with a poor foundation as the ground at Dahshur was not conducive to supporting a large heavy stone structure. That is why at Giza the pyramids were subsequently built upon the bedrock itself using larger stone blocks while they followed standardized angles of assent for their sides. The Egyptians were big on "recycling" in that when they found something which worked they usually applied it going forward. Corbelled halls and chambers are an example of this.

What do fighting the British for your nation's sovereignty, being one to the top students in the history of Cambridge, taking part in WWI and WW2, being part of the creation of the league of nations and the UN as well as being a close confident of Churchill all have in common? They were all done by Jan Smuts! Please do a video on him!
