The #OldKingdom bread keeps rolling out. This is the bread that fed the pyramid work crews. Our genetic analysis are in progress on the yeast, and pottery and construction of the full Ancient Egyptian bakery are underway. #StayTuned #AncientBaking @drserenalove @rbowman1234
Apparently Apple spell correct doesn’t like “analyses.” Or even know it’s a word. Sorry kids.
More. Here we have roasted coriander as an additive as we know that was used in Old Kingdom baking. It smells incredible. Really amazing. Grain, yeast, spices, comfort.
OK so that’s 5 more loaves practice. This is all building toward us attempting to master this particular kind of Ancient Egyptian baking. More soon. Next steps!
Crumb. In case you’re wondering, this is 100% Emmer, milled fresh here, with our candidate AE yeast. AE Old Kingdom bakers used clay pots, called bdj3 (bedja) which is why the conical shape!

I’m having a crap week so let me do some self-therapy and tell you about the time I met the great and powerful Jane Wiedlin, guitarist for the awesome and foundational girl band, the Go-Gos.
You can read a lot, elsewhere, about the barrier-breaking and courage of these women, making strings of hits in the 70s and 80s. I was a pre-teen and I had a HELLA CRUSH on @janewiedlin, which in those pre-internet days meant staring longingly at photos on record sleeves.
It didn’t help that she played Joan of Arc in BILL AND TED. I should point out here that I’m kind of a cold-blooded theoretical physics type. I didn’t have many crushes and such, I mainly was building promitive computers and such.

Ancient Egyptian Bread/Beer/Etc. Update! For those of you who haven’t seen, or who have an actual life, me and some friends have been collecting microorganisms from ancient Egyptian pottery. And if you’re bored enough that you’ve read this far, see below:
Loads of people seemed interested in this, and it got a lot of press coverage. Sadly much of the press tended to not mention the actual microbiology, the Egyptology and the other science that are ongoing. So, as a sleep aid, I’m here to help!
First Update: We have separated the first two pure yeast cultures from all the contaminant organisms that were unavoidably in our samples. We are still collecting and working, it’s an exciting step. We will be doing full DNA and RNA sequencing a we go; hopefully some are ancient.

UPDATE! As I have mentioned before, AE bakers used techniques that are different than we are used to today. And while there were eventually about 150 different words for bread in the AE language, the most popular breads seemed to be made in special jars, called bdja (bedja jars).
We sampled several of these recently in our work collecting ancient yeast cultures from inside Ancient Egyptian ceramics.
I’m now practicing to try to make really yummy bread using accurate ingredients, and our (hopefully) truly ancient yeast cultures. As you may know from my endless, boring baking pictures, I have got to the point where I can make good looking and tasty loaves pretty consistently.

Was #Jesus a #Mythical figure based on the #Egyptian #god #Horus?
Um, #NO, and here is why:
There were about 20 or so gods in the Egyptian pantheon who were called Horus. The two most famous are Horus the Younger, aka Harseisis (The Horus of this article) and Horus the Elder aka Herakhty. Horus the Younger was the son of Osiris and Isis, a god who avenged his father
by confronting and battling Seth, his uncle and the murderer of his father, Osiris. Horus the Younger is among the more famous Egyptian gods.
But is Jesus Christ based on this falcon-headed god of the Sky?

My 116 favorite quotes from Money: Sound and Unsound, by Joseph.T. Salerno (2015)
@jtsale @mises #AustrianEconomics #SoundMoney
1. “The idea of sound #money was present from the very beginning of modern monetary theory in the works of the 16th-century Spanish #Scholastics who argued against debasement of the coinage by the king on ethical and economic grounds”
J.T.Salerno
2. “It was #Fisher and not #Keynes who was the true founder of modern macroeconomics with its aggregative reasoning and its central notion of politically managed fiat money”

Was #Jesus a #mythical figure, based on the #Egyptian #god #Osiris?
Um, #NO, and here is why:
Osiris was originally a nature god who symbolized the vegetation cycle. Later, he also became the god of the dead and resurrection, ruling the underworld. He was both the brother and husband of Isis, and the father of Horus.
So, was Jesus based on Osiris?
No, and looking at the
supposed similarities between the two will show that:
Virgin born?
Nope, he was the son of the god Geb and the goddess Nut, who had…SEX!
Repeat, SEX!

Was the #Egyptian #God #Horus #crucified like #Christ?
Um, #No, and here is why:
#Debunking about to commence...
There are several different accounts of Horus’ death, which involved anything from being stung by a scorpion, bitten by a snake, cut into pieces, etc. Yet none of these state that he was crucified, which makes sense, given that crucifixion wasn't an Egyptian form of execution.
It was, however, a form of execution that was well used by the Persians, Carthaginians, Seleucids and Romans. It was done from the 6th century BC to the 4rth century AD. .If one expected Horus to be executed in any way in the myths, it would have been with a form of execution

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
