Day 4, Giza Mission
I’m writing this article on flight MS962 from CAI to KIX by using OMMWRITER (former OmniWriter) beta 2. The A340/200 aircraft is now fliyng over Gobi desert smoothly.
Since this is the final day of the mission, I’ll summarize the mission in this article.
The members of the mission are Tommy, a civil engineer, Yuki, an Egyptologist, Ichi, a computer scientist, Mr. Nakatsuji, a CG artist, and M, a trump card.
The objectives of the mission are: (1) PPP (code name), which will be open on 22 September, and I cannot state the detail at this moment, (2) checking the current status of Djoser’s Step Pyramid in Saqqara, of which we have done laser scanning in 2008, (3) collecting any necessary information for publication on Monument of Queen Khentkawess that we are working on, (4) showing the Monuent to Prof. Yasumuro of Kansai University, who is doing computer work on it, (5) meeting with AERA (Ancient Egypt Research Association, led by Dr. Mark Lehner) members for preparing the next season, (6) meeting with members of Kharga Mission which I am involved, (7) seeing Tut Ankh Amen’s remains at Cairo museum for future discussion with GEM (Grand Egypt Museum), to which Japan finances an amount of money, (8) starting up a new collaborating project with Osaka Univeristy and Develo Solutions, code named Egypad, and (9) expressing our projects to important persons in Egypt, including Mr. Nakamura of JICA, Mr. Kishimori of Embassy of Japan.
We have all done the above things and had an extra bonus (smile!). Manami san of AERA greatly supported us.
On Day 4 we did a last run of PPP, and had a meeting with Ana, a member of AERA. We discussed our publication on Monument of Queen Khentkawess. The keypoint we completely agreed was, the publication must be meaningful both in Egyptology and engineering science.We must see what emerges from the collaboration of Egyptology and science, just the collaboration means nothing —- good enough is not enough.
Ichi and Yuki had been comfortable with their iPhones in Egypt thanks to SoftBank. They used email, GPS, and Twitter all the day during the stay. Follow @kanaya and @yukinegy on Twitter!
西方砂漠の調査のときに準備した持ち物リストを再掲する.少し修正したし,今後もときどき修正すると思う.コメント欄もご参照を.(もちろん,これに加えて「本気」機材を持って行くので,出来るだけ軽くすること.)
