message: Note that some less careful sources simply state that the papyrus discusses leprosy and its treatment under the name uchedu.

replies: text: I think it looks like a House painted in Falu red. Lord Metroid (talk) 18:36, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Actually it's not even very common but it's the rule that wet paint has a different color from dried paint. That's because in a dried paint film, scattering is much more prominent due to the large refractive index difference between air (filling the pores) and the pigment, vs. the lower refractive index difference between the pigment and the liquid solvent (filling the pores). Consequently, we see less saturated, "grayer" colors in dried paint. Furthermore, since Falu red is defined on a mineral that has varying colors, and when the color of the paint can be greatly affected by the processing, assigning a single exact physical color is a futile task. Concerning the two pictures, another contributor is the differing color temperature of the photographs. --vuo (talk) 22:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Is Egyptian faience still made today?  One can easily buy any quantity of lustrous glazed blue beads, in many shapes including scarabs, from Egyptian handcraft dealers.  Are these Egyptian faience, or not?
* If they are, surely it would be possible for researchers to examine the modern methods of manufacture and compare them to all their many hypotheses.  Doing so might shed some light on the ancient artefacts and materials.
* If not, it would be useful information for anybody trying to learn more about the antique material to know exactly:
# what the modern replicas are made of,
# how they're made, and
# how they differ from Egyptian faience.

message: Manetho is concerned with continuity, not a kings list. He gives 16y for Amenemhat I but the Turin cannon 29y. If you assume the other 13 years are at the bottom of the 43 years manetho gives for the 11th dynasty, and add to it the 12 and the 6 years known for the last two rulers of the modern cannon 11th dynasty, which gives 31, then the remaining 12 years are the last 12 years of mentuhotep ii, putting the beginning of manetho's 11th dynasty in the 39th year of mentuhotep ii. So manetho begins the 11th dynasty with the unification and splits the reign of amenemhat i at his 14th year. In truth manetho gives 59 years for the 11th dynasty.
If you think continuity and reconstruct manetho side by side with the attested modern cannon you find that manetho is always accounting for the same period. A side by side shows 16 years between the start of modern cannon senusret ii and manetho sesostris, acounting for senusret ii 16 years and showing that sesostris is the start of the reign of senusret iii. I could go on but i digress. Manetho is counting time not kings, and he agrees with the modern attested cannon. With the exception of the 15 years given for one of the orsokons, it must defer to the modern 34. How do you know which of manethos numbers are right? The correct values find agreement with the modern cannon and the Hebrew scriptures.

text: I'm puzzled by the definition of magnolia as a pale purple too. I've been checking the X11 color names and the web colors article that was given as a reference but neither list any color name "magnolia", and no web browser I've tried recognises the color name "magnolia" either. It is however in the general list of colors article as a pale purple but that article's information is unsourced (the references don't seem to have any info on colour names). Some websites about colours do show magnolia as a pale purple, but none have a source for their info AFAICT. Unless someone can find a source for magnolia commonly being a pale purple outside of the UK, I am inclined to change the infobox to the creamy colour which is at least well defined in the UK due to British Standards for paint colour names. Also the OED defines magnolia as "a pale creamy-white colour". Samatarou (talk) 16:10, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
