I like watching horror movies but from what my friends said after watching this movie, I may not want to watch it -_-; It's certainly the most disturbing horror film I've ever watched. Even reading the Wiki article on it started to make my stomach churn. | ||

I like watching horror movies but from what my friends said after watching this movie, I may not want to watch it -_-; I wouldn't really call it a horror movie, more like a collection of fucked up shit wrapped into a story that somewhat makes sense. There isn't much fear or tension going on and I if you are tough and don't have a weak stomach there is nothing to get from watching this, besides that you can brag about having seen it and didn't really mind it. EDIT: I would call it a gore/splatter/fucked-up-shit movie for those who are to weak or stupid to get clips with the same shit but who are real. I seriously question the maker and everyone who thinks this is a great film. Unless of course you are an arts major, than you have an excuse/probably even an obligation to praise this thing. | ||

Aren't a pharaoh's possessions- especially gold and jewelry- always sealed in the pharaoh's tomb with him when he dies, so that he's prepared for the afterlife/ next time? | ||

That what I assumed but no archaeologist has ever found a crown in a kings tomb or anywhere else. I think some of the crowns must have been stolen but not every crown can be stolen! We know each pharaoh had a crown so where the hell are they? | ||

How many untouched tombs do you think have been discovered? To my knowledge it's just the one. And why would you think every Pharaoh had a crown? And if the crown was the symbol of office surely it'd be passed on, unlike the grave goods. Crown jewels belong to the monarchy, not the monarch. Although there is also no evidence that they wore anything that we would identify with the modern spikey circlet of metal called a crown. A headdress, sure, but not a medieval crown. | ||

Although there is also no evidence that they wore anything that we would identify with the modern spikey circlet of metal called a crown. A headdress, sure, but not a medieval crown. I was going to agree and say that the reason we haven't found crowns is because they didn't use crowns, but instead different headdresses, like the ones that they are depicted with on statues. The truth seems to be a bit different: http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-africa-news-general-opinion/crowns-pharaohs-00579 The reason we don't find crowns is because they didn't use crowns in death. If the crowns were used at all in real life, and not just on statues and other depictions, it seems likely theywere melted down and turned into a different crown or different object, because they weren't used after the pharaoh's death. The headdress that we all recognize was the pharaoh's "crown" for the afterlife. There's also this: The remnants of what appears to be a cap crown (JE 62699) were found on the mummy of Tutankhamun.[11] Tutankhamun's crown consisted of a band of gold wrapped around the king's temples that secured a linen skullcap, which had mostly decayed by the time of the tomb's excavation. The gold band was itself kept in place by a ribbon tied into a bow at the back of the head. Still remaining and mounted on the skullcap are four uraei made of gold beads and red and blue glass beads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowns_of_Egypt | ||

The only record of a crown being found was from silver pharaoh and high priest psusennes tomb in the 30's. The king of Egypt took everything from the tomb for safe keeping because he feared Hitler would invade Egypt. It hasent been seen since. | ||

I know I could just set up 12 alarms to wake me up at normal time but that would make me feel like a zombie whole day. I hear that eating and naps at particular times of day help to regulate your internal clock. | ||

If you want to use an alarm, sleep as much as you want on day 1, note down at what time you woke up, and put an alarm for this hour on day 2. Then every day, put the alarm 15 minutes earlier than the day before, and once you hit 8 hours of sleep with this method go to bed 15 minutes earlier too. If you don't want to use an alarm, go to bed at a reasonable time, and sleep until you naturally wake up. You'll pay back your sleep debt and will go back to normal sleep schedule. edit : also yes, try to eat at the same hour everyday whatever condition you are in (unless sleeping ofc). Don't eat a kebab with fries at 2 am, ffs. | ||

One is easing you into it like someone else mentioned. Another is just going to bed even later every day, until at some point you just skip the rest of a day and go to bed at a normal time again. This requires you to have a bit of time where you don't have anything important to do though, as you will be awake at very weird hours. You can try forcing yourself to go to bed early enough to get up at a reasonable time, but that requires you being able to deal with lying in a bed bored and not sleeping. Or you can go cold turkey and just force yourself to get up with alarms. Drink a lot of tea or coffee during that one day, and go to bed reasonably early. Then keep on it and get up at the same time every day. The main important thing is not actually the getting OUT of bed at a normal time, it is getting INTO bed at a time that corresponds to the time you want to get out of. Usually that means at least 8 hours before you have to get up if you are like me and don't go to sleep instantly the second you lie in a bed, and instead lie around thinking about weird stuff for an hour or so. This is surprisingly hard to do, because nothing forces you to go into bed, since it is hard to forgo something positive now just for not feeling like shit tomorrow when you get up. | ||

He was at the low point in his career, and in his life in general: "1997 was the low point of Agassi's career. His wrist injury resurfaced, and he played only 24 matches during the year. He later confessed that he started using crystal methamphetamine at that time, allegedly on the urging of a friend.[42] He failed an ATP drug test, but wrote a letter claiming the same friend had spiked a drink. The ATP dropped the failed drug test as a warning. In his autobiography, Agassi admitted that the letter was a lie.[43] He quit the drug soon after. At this time Agassi was also in a failing marriage with actress Brooke Shields and had lost interest in the game.[44] He won no top-level titles, and his ranking sank to world no. 141 on November 10, 1997, prompting many to believe that his run as one of the sport's premier competitors was over and that he would never again win any significant championships.[16]" ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Agassi | ||

All I hear on the news is middle class this middle class that blah blah blah. I would much rather have a conversation with a billionaire or a homeless person than the average joe. What do you mean by overrated when talking about a socioeconomic group? Medias talk a lot about the middle class simply because it is the class in society with the most members atm (in Western countries at least), thus it's highly likely that the guy watching the TV or reading a newspaper is from the middle class, and doesn't want to hear about what a homeless thinks of law X or Presidential candidate Y. | ||
