Summary: This passage discusses how the central regime in ancient Egypt controlled and collected agricultural revenues. It is unclear to what extent the government attempted to collect income directly from the farmers who worked on the land. Village headmen and officials, who were themselves landholders, collected revenues from their fields and were responsible for this task.

Summary: The current study characterizes a heavily corroded bronze statue from Pharaonic Egypt by exploring its morphology and mechanism of corrosion. Various methods, including SEM-EDS, USB digital microscope, X-ray micro-diffraction, and Raman micro-spectroscopy, were used for characterization. The study provides insights into the morphology and corrosion mechanisms of different stages of corrosion, highlighting the composition of corrosion products and the factors influencing their formation.

Summary: Zircon U-Pb geochronology is a valuable tool for exploring eroded crusts and identifying the components of the Arabian-Nubian Shield. The study of detrital sedimentary rocks in the Somr El-Qaa area reveals three main sources: Pre-Pan-African, Pan-African, and Post-Pan-African, indicating the existence of different geological events in the region.

Summary: This paper investigates a discrete coating found on a group of Egyptian panel paintings, including six mummy portraits and one funerary panel, dating from the first to third century CE. The coating has been observed on the surface and recesses of the paint layers, and analysis confirmed its composition as deamidated hen egg. The C-14 dating indicates that the coating is not a modern addition. The function of this coating, possibly used for aesthetic or symbolic purposes, remains unknown.

Summary: This article investigates the geological history and tectonic evolution of the Sinai Peninsula, revealing the progression of island arc accretion events and their association with the assembly of Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinents. Through geochemical, mineralogical, U-Pb zircon geochronological, and thermobarometric studies, the researchers were able to analyze the rocks and obtain significant geological data.

Summary: The tomb KV 40 in the Kings' Valley unearthed mummified remains dating back to the 18th dynasty, with radiocarbon dating used to analyze their origins. A new ATR-FTIR method for quantifying bone collagen has been successfully demonstrated on-site, indicating its effectiveness under challenging conditions and its potential for use in archaeological research.

Summary: The Um Takha white granite pluton (UTP) is a member of the youngest suite of calc-alkaline granites in south Sinai, Egypt. It was intruded by the Serbal alkaline granite pluton and consists of a single phase of leucocratic monzogranite. U-Pb ion probe zircon dating suggests an age of 614.9 ± 6.3 Ma for the UTP. Geochemically, the UTP is composed of high-K calc-alkaline rocks and likely formed through partial melting of a Na-rich amphibole-bearing tonalite source.

Summary: This review highlights the importance of dating methodologies for Quaternary marine sediments in paleoceanography, summarizing the common methods of absolute and relative dating. It discusses applications and limitations of each dating methodology in various marine environments, as well as emerging event dating methods such as microplastics, mercury isotopes, and organic pollutant deposition. The review also touches on the future prospects for interdisciplinary methods to better understand natural geological evolution and predict future changes in earth science.

Summary: This study aims to explore the role of personality in dating experiences, specifically the preferences for dating platforms and perceived outcomes for individuals with elevated D4 traits. The results show that participants with psychopathy, narcissism, and sadism traits prefer meeting people offline. They value connecting with others but dislike deceptive dating practices and often perceive themselves as victims in both online and offline settings. Future research should investigate whether dating experiences differ for individuals with high versus low scores on D4 traits.

Summary: Speleothem deposits in arid environments are important climate archives and the study at hand presents a new record from Saqia Cave in Egypt, filling a gap in speleothem climate archives in Northeast Africa. The study reveals growth phases during different orbital-forced insolation periods, as well as proposes a significant east to west rainfall gradient in Egypt. The findings suggest a more sustainable wetter climate in the Eastern Desert, creating an attractive dispersal corridor for humans and wildlife.
