PALENQUE: (Mayan) inscription
See UHN: p. 318: Palenque stairs inscription.
The great Pacal began his rule in 612 A.D. when he was 12 years old. But it takes some 40 years in battles to consolidate his empire before he begins building several large great temples at this site, including the palace, his burial temple and another large temple near it. Since he is not in the direct line of rulership (no chemical analysis has been done on his bones; in fact, authorities at one point attempted to remove his bones and were thwarted by locals), he invents his connections to the gods and the reasons for his power. When he dies in 684 his origin is directly connected to the gods. In huge murals on the Temple of the Cross, built by his son, Kam Balam, Pacal and the Smoking God (or god L) are depicted blessing Kam Balam as he begins his own rulership. He built several more temples, and in a mural on the Temple of the Foliated Cross, Kam Balam is receiving corn from the maize god.

(051298) Lucia Birnbaum
— “Rock art, the dark mother, and African origins of world religions” Author
of Black Madonnas, Lucia traces the signs, icons and images of the dark mother
out of Africa to the Sinai and into Europe and Asia. Focusing on the case
of Har Karkom in the Sinai, Lucia will explore the origins of world religions
in the dark ochre of cave paintings of Africa 900,000 years ago, to the incised
megaliths leading to the Mountain of God 40,000 B.C. E. in the Sinai (west
Asia) where Africans migrated, to figurines of the dark mother found all along
paths of African migrations into Spain, France, Italy, central and eastern
Europe, icons dated ca. 26,000 B.C.E. to the triangular pubic shaped ochre
red divinities painted on the walls of Cava dei Genovesi in the Egani Islands
dated 15,000 B.C.E., veneration of Isis at Philae in Africa, to black madonnas
and other dark women divinities of the common era. Slides, lecture and movement.

See BAHISTUN, HIBEH, OPPERT, RYLANDS, SPIEGELBERG.
http://www.kent.net/DisplacedDynasties/Petition_of_Petesi.htm
In the words of the editor F. Ll. Griffith "by far the most important of the papyri from El Hibeh is the great roll of the Petition or memorial of Peteesi, nearly 4 1/4 metres or 14 feet in length, and closely written over the whole of the recto and five-sixths of the verso." There are four principal divisions of this lengthy document. Three are of interest.
The first five columns describe the harsh treatment afforded a certain priest Petesi in the years immediately following the 9th year of Darius [II?]. Griffith summarizes their content as:
Events of the 9th and
following years of Darius, viz. Peteesi's unwilling evidence on the causes
of the ruin of Teuzoi, his sufferings
and imprisonment, followed by a murderous attack on him by the priests: his
petition to the "Governor"
or satrap (?) for protection, the revengeful burning of his house, the end
being his return to Teuzoi, after more than a year's absence, under a guarantee
of safety and protection, but without compensation for the injuries done to
him or any attention to the rights which he claimed through his ancestors
in the temple of Teuzoi.

A number of [carbonized] texts of potentially major significance have been uncovered [by ACOR] at Petra following two months of excavations in areas immediately adjacent to the Byzantine church.
http://www.atrium-media.com/goldenthreads/petrapapyri.html
In December 1993 a great number of carbonized papyrus rolls were found during the excavations of a Byzantine church in Petra, Jordan. The find contained dozens of legal and financial documents of a local family, written in Greek during the sixth century AD. The rolls were opened and conserved by a Finnish team directed by Professor Jaakko Frösén. The papyri are being edited by a group of over a dozen scholars from the Universities of Helsinki and Michigan. The first volume (Petra Papyri Volume I, edited by J. Frösén and A. Arjava) will be published in 2001/2.

The Phaistos series
contains 47 unique characters [! I only found 45 - see below] based on the
cryptic hieroglyphic symbols depicted on the infamous Phaistos Disk. Measuring
approximately 16cm in diameter, the Phaistos Disk was excavated in 1908 at
the Minoan palace at Hagia Triada in Crete. The glyphs have not been conclusively
deciphered to this day. Both sides of the clay disk are imprinted with signs
which have been stamped in a spiral fashion, grouped in sets of two to seven
symbols divided by vertical lines. There are a total of 241 symbols depicted
on the disk, of which 45 [why 47 above?] are unique, depicting familiar objects
like people, body parts, animals, weapons and plants.

“Plato / with an English translation by Harold North Fowler ; introduction by W. R. M. Lamb.”
Cambridge, 1921-1990 (1984-1996 printing)
See P. 225 of PHAEDO: (Socrates discourse)
“For the body when shrunk and embalmed, as the manner is in
Egypt, may remain almost entire through infinite ages; and even in decay,
there are still some portions, such as the bones and ligaments, which are
practically indestructible: -Do you agree?”
See P. 248-9 of PHAEDO:
“Well; but let me tell you something more. There was a time
when I thought that I understood the meaning of greater and less pretty well;
and I saw a great man standing by a little one, I fancied that one was taller
than the other by a head; or one horse would appear to be greater than another
horse: and still more clearly did I seem to perceive that ten is two more
than eight, and that two cubits
are more than one, because two is the double of one.”
See P. 254 of PHAEDO:
“In like manner you would be afraid to say that ten exceeded
eight by, and by reason of, two; but would say by, and by reason of, number;
or you would say that two cubits exceed
one cubit not by a half, but by magnitude?-for there
is the same liability to error in all these cases.”
See P. 340 of REPUBLIC II:
“Then, I said, let us begin and create in idea a State; and
yet the true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention.”
See P. 347 of REPUBLIC II:
“Then a slice of our neighbors’ land will be wanted by us for
pasture and tillage, and they will want a slice of ours, if, like ourselves,
they exceed the limit of necessity, and give themselves up to the unlimited
accumulation of wealth?
That, Socrates, will be inevitable.
And so we shall go to war, Glaucon. Shall we not?
Most certainly he replied.”
See P. 351 of REPUBLIC II:
“Why, a dog, whenever he sees a stranger, is angry; when an
acquaintance, he welcomes him, although the one has never done him any harm
nor the other any good. Did this never strike you as curious?
The matter never struck me before; but I quite recognise the truth of your remark.
And surely this instinct of the dog is very charming;
-your dog is a true philosopher.”
See P. 362 of REPUBLIC II:
“But no mad or senseless person can be a friend of God.
Then no motive can be imagined why God should lie?”
See P. 369 of REPUBLIC III:
“If, then, the ruler catches anybody beside himself lying in
the State, he will punish him for introducing a practice which is equally
subversive and destructive of ship or State.”
See P. 423 of REPUBLIC IV:
“What do you mean? I said; you should have more feeling for
them. When a man cannot measure, and a great many others who cannot measure
declare that he is four cubits high,
can he help believing what they say?”
See P. 441 of REPUBLIC IV:
“…I mean, for example, that the science of house-building is
a kind of knowledge which is defined and distinguished from other kinds…”
See P. 444 of REPUBLIC IV:
“…anger at times goes to war with desire…”
See P. 687 of REPUBLIC X:
“…He [Er the son of Armenius] said that when his soul left the body he went on a journey with a great company.

Neither Sherlock Holmes nor Babylon:
A Reassessment of Plimpton 322,
Eleanor Robson. Historia Mathematica 28:3 (August 2001) 167-206.
Plimpton 322 is a catalogue name of a famous clay cuneiform tablet that was excavated illegally in the 1920's and whose contents were published in 1945. It is extremely old-18th century BC-and represents Old Babylonian mathematics, "the oldest known body of 'pure' mathematics in the world". According to the author, a distinguished Orientologist at Oxford University, the generally-accepted interpretation of Plimpton 322 as a primitive trigonometry table has been based on a Sherlock Holmesian approach that rests only on internal mathematical inferences. She presents an alternate interpretation that draws also on cultural, linguistic, and archaeological evidence, and that places Plimpton 322 in its proper "mathematico-historical setting". She admits that part of her article is "deliberately provocative and polemical", and she uses Plimpton 322 as a case study for criticizing some of the common methodology of the history of ancient mathematics. Noting that simple mathematics does not necessarily have a simple history, she observes that the general histories of mathematics (she names familiar names) are seriously out of date on Mesopotamian mathematics…
The exhaustive analysis in the article is more historical than mathematical and is not for the faint-hearted. Interested CMJ readers should look first at the author's abbreviated and simplified version.:

The Egyptians undertook major journeys from very early times. The oldest record of a journey to Punt is on the Palermo stone, dated to the 5th dynasty. During the 11th Dynasty, Henenu with three thousand men transported the materials for building ships through Wadi Hammamat to the coast of the Red Sea.

them a few years ago when the accuracy wasn't quite as good as it is today.
Each reading is the result of 100 readings averaged by the GPS. Except where
noted, all were at the pyramid corners - the number immediately following
the corner is the accuracy the GPS offerred. Read them as degrees-minutes-seconds.
corners and both west corners should have the same longitude and both north
corners and both south corners should have the same latitude. There are a
couple cases where they don't match and the readings are wrong.
Of possible
interest, in 1874 the center of the Great Pyramid was
determined as 29-58-44.38, 31-7-2. I calculated it as 29-58-46, 31-08-03.
As I recall, longitude was harder to determine, resulting in a miss by a
minute.
The coordinates follow:
Degrees-Minutes-Seconds
Latitude

Longitude East
1 second
= 101 feet
1 minute = 6,076 feet (1NM)
Cannot determine length of a second, it is variable.

PYRAMID(S): funerary structures appearing from space!
http:www.spaceimaging.com/gallery/otherimages/pyramids.jpg
Feb. 20 [2003] — British archaeologists have discovered the "Egyptian
Lourdes," a town dating back to 2,500 B.C. that was probably home to
priests, builders working on the pyramids and people who would have earned
a living by selling religious objects.

(as per
EEF; J. Styles) The best information on Pyramid texts is:
1. The place to start is T[homas] George Allen's Occurrences of Pyramid Texts with Cross Indexes of These and other Egyptian Mortuary Texts, Chicago, 1950, in the dozen or so pages toward the middle of this work which give the location and sequences of then-known texts in Unas, Teti, Pepi I, Merenre, Pepi II, Neit, Apouit, Oudjebten and Ibi. This source is preferable to [Kurt] Sethe's edition because it incorporates the results of Jequier's excavations in and around the tomb of Pepi II and the numerous texts Jequier published from this source in the 1930's. It both augments Sethe's edition and corrects some of the errors Sethe made in reconstructing the texts on the walls of Pepi II's burial chamber.
2. James P. Allen's Inflection of the Verb in the Pyramid Texts (Malibu,1984) contains in its appendices very useful supplementary information on the reconstructed locations of texts; however, it is not complete: few spruche not known to Sethe are included; and, of course, the most recent work of the French team in reconstructing the original locations of the texts is not up to date.
3. Some of this additional work is available in the 1997 Lauer Festschrift, in which the French team reconstructing the original sequence of texts in Teti published its findings to that date. (See the article by Jean Leclant and Catherine Berger in Etudes sur l'ancient empire et la necropole de Saqqara, tome 2, edited by Catherine Berger and Bernard Mathieu, Montpelier,1997.) Although the reconstruction in this article clearly supersedes the listing of Teti texts in T.G. Allen, it is in small part incomplete because: (a) the authors fail to identify the text in the extreme western three lines of the south wall of the antechamber (it is CT 517); and (b) the authors do not even attempt to reconstruct the texts from the very southern part of the corridor leading to the antechamber from the outside.(Evidently, the original blocks recovered by Sainte Fare Garnot are either lost or unlocated in the Saqqara storerooms).
4. Finally, James P. Allen has a partial reconstruction
of the texts of Apouit and Oudjebten in "The Pyramid Texts of Queens
Jpwt and Wd²bt-n.(j)," JARCE 23 (1986) 23, pp 1-26.
5.
[Note] To date, no full publication of the texts of Pepi I or Merenre has
been issued. And, of course, the most
recently discovered texts--those in the pyramid of Ankh-ns-pepi, Pepi II's
mother--have not yet appeared in print.
