the term for iron in ancient egyptian texts is also used to describe aspects of the sky ; it is not known why the same phrase is applied to two such separate ‘objects’ . it may be that the colour of the sky invited comparison with the sheen and colour of metallic iron . equally , it may be that the ancients observed a relatively rare celestial phenomenon – the fall of an iron meteorite – which led to the association of metal and sky , especially if the meteorite was found after it landed .

in parallel to the excavation of iron artefacts , ancient texts indicate that the earliest written word for iron appearing in hieroglyphs , ( bia ) , could have been a relatively broad term , since no evidence exists to suggest that the necessary knowledge of metal production existed at such an early time in egypt [ 3 ] . if iron as a material was viewed within this broader perspective , materials of other composition – but related to iron by similar visual appearance or physical properties ( e . g . , a high density , metallic lustre and surface texture ) also need to be considered in order to understand the perception of iron by ancient egyptians . there is no text to demonstrate that early egyptians were aware of the celestial origin of meteorites , however lexicography studies point to a link between sky and the early term for iron . however , from around the end of the 18th dynasty , a new term for iron is developed which literally translates as ‘iron from the sky’ .

“ iron sky : the coming race is a fantastic project with a unique universe and a big fan - base that gives us an opportunity to build an innovative campaign for the nordic market . ”
the background to this project comes from our recent study of the oldest known examples of worked iron in egypt [ 1 ] . we analysed a nickel - rich iron bead found in a pre - dynastic ( 3600 – 3300 bce ) grave pit at the gerzeh cemetery , and confirmed that it was produced by working of iron from a meteorite . this finding has led us to consideration of the use of iron in ancient egypt , starting from the question of whether iron from a meteorite fall ( or find ) was the main source of metal prior to the discovery of iron ore deposits .

the overall knowledge of the origin of egyptian iron and material culture is scarce . egyptian iron artefacts have been subjected to little research from both materials culture and science perspectives , whereas historical investigations of iron in the near east have centred round the military hardware perspective [ 2 ] . many examples of iron artefacts exist in museum egyptology collections , but they generally have not been subjected to detailed scientific analysis . the artefacts take a variety of different forms and have a wide geographic provenance , such as the iron dagger blade from tutankhamen’s tomb . they range in reported archaeological date from the 4th dynasty onwards , but with the majority appearing later from around the 26 th dynasty . there are a small number of egyptian nickel - rich iron artefacts found in the nile valley , dating from the 11th to the 18 th dynasties which are dominantly symbolic in form [ 3 ] . large quantities of iron slag were found during excavations of 26 th dynasty delta sites , although this could be waste from copper smelting [ 4 ] .
all that said , despite its missteps and tonal uncertainties , iron sky isn’t totally without merit . despite its largely unsuccessful gag rate , one or two moments of the more gonzo / scatological comedy really do hit the mark , while the digital fx work throughout is of a very high standard .

the aussies have hopped aboard iron sky , the finnish - german black comedy about nazis on the moon . australian outfit new holland pictures has joined the production . san fu maltha , who produced black book by , is also a shareholder in the company and acts as executive producer . the studio shoot of iron sky will be done in australia , from where 20 - 25 % of the film’s euros 6 . 5m budget will be covered . blind spot pictures’ tero kaukomaa is producing with 27 films production’s oliver damian . they will now be joined by new holland pictures’ cathy and mark overett . the iron sky production team recently launched a “crowd investing” initiative through which fans are offered equity investment packages , ranging from euros 1000 to 20 , 000 + . these investments come with additional perks , such as a chance to have a private screener of the movie or meet members of the cast over a dinner .
producer may he of canada is rich in experience on international film cooperation in china market , “if you are looking for the formula of successful international film production and distribution for the chinese market , you shall then follow and watch iron sky : the ark in the cinema . ”ms . he concludes confidently .
in “iron sky : the coming race , ” the former nazi moonbase is the last refuge of mankind , after the earth was devastated by a nuclear war . buried under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity – or destroy it once and for all . to save the human race , obi washington and the other human survivors will have to fight the vril , a reptilian race and their army of dinosaurs . the film stars lara rossi in the lead role of obi , vladimir burlakov and kit dale , with julia dietze and udo kier , both returning from first “iron sky . ”
an alternate take on history , iron sky follows a large group of nazis who , after losing world war ii , flees to the dark side of the moon . 70 years later , they have constructed a massive armada of flying saucers and are now , in 2018 , poised to attack the unsuspecting earth .
iron sky : the ark is a chinese - finnish - canadian co - production and tells a story of two chinese university dropout audiophiles who set out on a quest to decode a mysterious message received from the moon , but find themselves fighting against the mother of all conspiracy theories – the secret organization illuminati .
iron sky invasion will be available for mac , pc , xbox 360 and playstation 3 and topware said it plans to release both a standard edition for around €40 - €50 ( $ 50 - $ 62 ) and a special
gotterdammerung
edition for between €60 - €70 ( $ 74 - $ 86 ) .
iron sky ' s nazi moon base and ships are standard - issue steampunk , though there are some nice space zeppelins . it ' s a pity the production designers didn ' t take more cues from hermann oberth . oberth worked alongside wernher von braun at the german peenemünde rocket research centre . his cult 1923 book rakete zu den planetenräumen ( by rocket into interplanetary space ) described a spaceship , spacesuits , space hammocks , and shoes with hooks to help astronauts walk in zero - gravity . he consulted on fritz lang ' s frau im mond ( 1929 ) , which film buffs may yet again note is a better movie than iron sky .
sounds like fun , right ? silly , perhaps , but uniquely pulpy in its promise . that promise has seen the production of iron sky chronicled in geekier circles as it sought fan financing over the past few years , and now , we find ourselves faced with a finished film whose stabs at relevance bog down its irreverent intent .
iron sky , which followed two american astronauts who land on the moon only to find it occupied by the descendants of nazis who escaped in 1945 , was a movie that existed . and now , a sequel to the 2012 cult hit is going to be released . with more space nazis . oh , and dinosaurs this time .
after listening to our beta testers we decided to steer the game more suitable for experienced players . iron sky the board game prototype was tested and promoted in various gaming events in finland and in essen spiel ' 11 . the game turned out to be more aggressive and more controlled , as many of our testers wanted it to be .
the synthesis rules system provides for rules tweaks according to genre , so you can play iron sky as it is intended , as a pulpy satire / pastiche with appropriate rules , as a more serious , gritty campaign , as an epic struggle against evil , as a space opera adventure , as a political intrigue story , or more .
in 2018 , we will launch the living iron sky campaign at gen con . this will be a series of interconnected adventures you can participate in with shared characters . your actions will influence the campaign and advance the characters , so a shared universe can be created . more details will be made available after the rpg is published in february .
for the last few years there’s been something of a buzz building around the finnish / german / australian co - production , iron sky . famously pitched to investors at cannes in 2008 off the back of an impressive vfx demo reel , director timo vuorensola’s sci - fi comedy about nazis on the moon finally went into production in late 2010 .
with the addition of cult movie icon udo kier to the cast and several strong early trailers , anticipation was high that the finished film just might deliver on its gloriously bonkers premise . unfortunately , that doesn’t really happen and - despite its strong high concept - iron sky never seems entirely sure of what type of film it’s trying to be .
in keeping with their diy roots , the filmmakers launched a campaign to get their picture into theaters through the online demand to see iron sky campaign . producers also invite potential fans to pay what they want , starting at 1 euro ( about $ 1 . 50 ) to grab a sneak peek of the film ' s first five minutes .
vuorensola and his iron sky colleagues were previously best known for their series of star trek spoofs , many of which can be found on youtube . the final instalment , star wreck : in the pirkinning , was produced in 2005 as a full - length movie by five friends in a small flat with the help of a few hundred fans .
not unsurprisingly , iron sky is at its strongest , funniest and most affecting when dealing with the moon - based nazis and their ossified , out of touch culture . impressively designed , handsomely costumed and incredibly well realised , the world of the reich has an integrity , believability and – dare i say it – charm that you immediately buy into .
the producer recently joined forces with members of the iron sky team to form vfx company troll . meanwhile , kaukomaa is also producing aki louhimies’ crime thriller never forever , now in post - production . nordisk has already taken scandinavian rights . a sales agent is expected to be announced shortly . kaukomaa will bring the first footage of the film to cannes .
the film itself was only the first stage of the assault . now , after the credits have rolled , the true strike begins with “iron sky : invasion” , the official video game of the movie . the game puts the players in direct control of an advanced space fighter pilot hell - bent on protecting earth from an invading nazi fleet from outer space .
“i was actually sitting in a sauna with our team when one of us , jarmo puskala , came up with the idea that we should do a film about nazis on the moon . i agreed , and my number one demand was that if so , i want laibach to do the music“ , said iron sky’s director timo vuorensola about their choice of artist .
the failures are almost all down to the plot structure , or lack of one . iron sky has a playing defence plot ( see four archetypal plots ) but it lacks focus , sharpness and even logic . the antagonist’s quest , for an ipad to power the nazi super - weapon , sets a tone of silliness that undermines any attempt at biting or black humour .
because of all this prerelease internet hype  as well as the fact that five screenings at the berlin film festival instantly sold out  many also tipped iron sky to walk away with the audience prize in the festival ' s panorama section on feb . 18 . but , in a surprise turn , the prize went instead to a film about gay pride in serbia called the parade , and the critical response to iron sky was decidedly mixed .
the effects were great , but the jokes were bad ,
says berlin - based director jörg buttgereit , maker of the movie captain berlin vs . hitler , a low - budget horror film in which hitler ' s preserved brain does battle with a comic - book - inspired hero .

i can personally attest to the level of public interest aroused by that royal visit because my parents decided to drive the 70 miles from our home in maryborough to bundaberg to see our queen . i was five years old at the time but i have distinct memories of catching a glimpse of her majesty as she was driven past , standing with her husband , the duke of edinburgh , in the back of a humber tourer .
immediately before her appointment as governor , she was president of the melbourne festival , chair of the winston churchill memorial trust victorian regional committee and a national board member of the trust , a commissioner of the australian football league , a trustee of the national gallery of victoria , a board member and former chair of afl sportsready and artsready , a board member of the unicorn foundation , and a patron of sports connect .

but good governance does not mean interference , my ambition as governor is to operate with a light touch , but being ready to change this approach if things go wrong .
my mother could all of a sudden remember facts , images , and places she had been ; she could sing songs from her childhood and not forget a single word , but she had great difficulty remembering words she had just spoken .
as i said this morning at the ceremony for the governor general ' s award for excellence in teaching canadian history , i worry about how little importance our society places on history and all the misunderstandings that occur when we fail to refer to the past .
when you became governor you took the opportunity to raise community awareness about our most vulnerable , and you continued your strong friendship with the glbti community . and that friendship was reciprocated with the warm welcome you would always receive at glbti events .
finally , our queen would i know be pleased that police recruit dog ‘gavel’ made his debut at this reception tonight in her honour . he is already a much admired – indeed with his rapid growth increasingly respected , new resident in this domain !
dame marguerite played an active role in the long , arduous efforts of sir lynden and his colleagues that eventually led to majority rule in the bahamas , culminating with independence on july 10 , 1973 . dame marguerite campaigned in and out of her husband’s kemp’s bay constituency in andros and on many other islands of the bahamas .
a member of st . agnes anglican church , dame marguerite has two sons and two daughters – obie , leslie , michelle and monique . she is extremely fond and proud of her six grandchildren and their accomplishments . she continues to enjoy cooking and gardening .
many endearing expressions of that affection are held in britain’s royal collection . one of them , displayed to the public for the first time at australia house , london on australia day earlier this year , is a gift sent in 1934 to the then seven - year - old princess elizabeth : a book listing her antipodean namesakes – all the elizabeths of queensland .
when the progressive liberal party won control of the government for the first time in january , 1967 , she was one of her husband’s hardest - working campaign helpers . “my dual life began just after our marriage , ” she says . “we were married on may 05 , 1956 , and my husband was first elected to the house of assembly on june 8th the same year . ”
the interception of the message – which can include any form of communication , such as telephones , post , email and text messages – must be authorized by a warrant issued directly from the governor . the warrant would have to be addressed to the rcips commissioner , who can then authorize a police service employee to execute it .
the governor was born in melbourne in 1953 , and was educated at st catherine’s girls’ school , matriculating in 1969 , before attending the university of melbourne , where she gained the degree of llb ( hons ) . in 1975 she was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the supreme court of victoria .
my vision as governor is one of partnership and cooperation , working with your elected representatives and public servants , with business , civil society and communities , to support the continued development of a safe , successful , and sustainable cayman islands .
no matter what system cayman eventually ends up using , the governor said , it needs to be simpler and more accountable . the current budget , she said , is more than a bit confusing and not very accountable with regard to what government spending has achieved .
many commentators have noted i am the first female governor of the cayman islands and i become the second woman to take up a governor position this year . this is something that i am particularly proud of . it is , perhaps natural therefore , that i hope to do what i can to champion the rights of women and tackle discrimination - in whatever form it takes . i look to support efforts to have the convention to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women extended to the cayman islands . my vision is that all caymanians and residents have the opportunity to take a leading role in shaping our future .
prior to arriving , the career u . k . accountant and political insider did thorough research on her new destination . “but i don’t think anything can substitute for being here , ” she says . “i’ve been able to take the temperature of the islands , and so far my reception has been universally positive . i’ve always heard about the great caymanian hospitality , but now i’m experiencing it firsthand . ”
of course , a successful economy needs to have strong roots in good governance and the careful management of public finances . some have already noted my background in this area , but i believe that effective stewardship of public money is a shared responsibility - from the members of this assembly to those delivering front - line services for the residents of , and visitors to , the cayman islands and her beautiful shores .
where my involvement is certain to be greater will be in those areas where the constitution places particular responsibilities on the office of governor : internal security , defence and preparedness for civil emergencies , and external relations . i recognise the public concern over recent robberies and burglaries . working with the royal cayman islands police service , i aim to maintain the focus on this critical area .
the governor was actively engaged in the area of judicial education , including as a director of the national judicial college of australia , and as a long - standing faculty member and facilitator of the national judicial orientation program . for many years she helped create and teach judgment writing courses on behalf of the national judicial college of australia , the judicial college of victoria , and for courts and tribunals throughout australia .
