On a smaller scale, that reminds me of the clock at Wells Cathedral (https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1347/wells-cathedral-clock-clock https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co1347/...) for 1392. The Cathedral is a great example of its kind, but for me the clock was a lot more interesting. Although that might be bacause I've been to dozens of medieval cathedrals so they do kind of blur into one.
I'd like to visit the Pyramids, but I'm more interested in the insides. Khufu's ship sounds fascinating, will definitely take a look if we go.
- jiggawatts 6y agoThat style of clockwork reminds me strangely of the Doctor Who episode The Girl in the Fireplace (1), with the clockwork robots, which in turn is the same kind of "odd" feeling I get from Khufu's ship, or steampunk in general (2). 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_in_the_Fireplace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_in_the_Fireplace 2) https://i.imgur.com/eSsrlSh.gifv https://i.imgur.com/eSsrlSh.gifv
