Amenaakhu

Amenaakhu was born in Egypt in 1922 b.C until 1855 b.C. He is a famous painter of the dynasty XII.

He began to paint the walls of the tombs of the Pharaohs with mythologies representations and scenes of the daily activities as: hunting, fishing, agriculture or the celebration of banquets.

In his paintings two styles constantly prevail.

First: The images are more conceptual than realistic, they present anatomical characteristics, combining the frontal views and the profile of the same figure.

Second: The scale of the figures indicates the importance of them, and thus the Pharaoh appears higher than his children.

He was to the service of Djehutyhotep (the huge governor of Hare) to decorate his tomb in The-Bersheh. The design and the decoration of the sarcophagus of Djehutyhotep and his wife are also very nice. His paintings are the most beautiful of the average kingdom.

OUR FUTURE IN PROMETHEUS'S HANDS

• I think that a couple of things said in this video are happening.

• Every day we are being more dependent of technology. Now, we surf on the internet and there you can found everything, for example: we can see news in Google, the biggest online search. We see movies in YouTube, we interchange information and we communicate with all world.

• Also this video talks about the prosumer: a producer and consumer of information; anyone can be prosumer. That is true. But is not necessary to be fortune-teller to know that.

• The concept of static information like: books, articles are changing into knowledge flow based in the experience.

• Maybe all the saying in this video could be true, maybe not. But certain is, that our future life is going to be easy and solitary.
