Nefertiti's Family

Come now Larry (no pun intended), don't you think that says more about the explicitness of the wandering mind?

I think I found a new detail in the Nefertiti PI.

If one assumes that the PI girl is artificial made and it really shows the Egyptian queen Nefertiti, than it would be not too far fetched that she holds a scepter in her hand.
I see on the photos that her left hand is a fist and in the northwest of this fist are the faint fingers of her right hand, which are holding a scepter vertical.
It could be the so called ‘WAS Scepter’.



It could also be possible that she is holding a different scepter horizontal with the left hand fist - the dark area between left hand and right hand.

I got my suggested image site for the Profile Girl and Family into the HiRISE system. I had to finagle a little to get it done, but it's definitely in the queue with an ID number and all the trimmings. I'll keep monitoring it until it's imaged.

The swath should end up being a little wider on both sides than the famous M0305549 swath, so we should get a good look at the scene, assuming they don't miss my target area. They seem to be doing a pretty good job with suggested sites, so I'm hopeful they will get it right.

At first I thought I'd have a little problem with the coordinates, because the MOC coordinates didn't match the HiRISE tool. However the HiRISE guys gave you a way to say "image here", and they calculate their own coordinates. Plus there's visual feedback in the tool that let's you see that it came out right, so I don't see how they could end up imaging the wrong place. I'm pretty confident that <b>if</b> they take the image at all, it will be in the correct location.

I thought I'd dust off this thread in anticipation. This is exciting.

However, your "dust off" has revealed another problem of a more earthly sort. All your links to images at "filelodge.com" have been replaced by spam. Examine any of the earlier pages in this thread to see examples.

I must ask you to contact the source and get them to cease and desist, and/or for you to do some clean-up to get rid of all spam from our web site. It is forbidden by our charter. Our Board of Directors is already contacting an attorney to explore what actions are appropriate, presumably against the two pertetrators (filelodge and virob), because at this early stage we are eager to believe you are a victim too and did not know of the company's intentions to spam us after some elapsed time when you posted images at our Message Board using their web site as a holding base.

Please advise us of your actions in this connection as they happen and your plans for actions in the near-term future to aid us in determining what actions are appropriate for our Board of Directors to take. One thing we can do quickly is to auto-delete you and all your posts to all threads, especially since they apparently all dissolve into spam after some elapsed time and no longer serve their original purpose. But I hope there is a less draconian solution available for quick action because many of your posts originally had considerbale value. -|Tom|-

Tom, I only used filelodge very early on in the process. Probably just this thread and the T or E thread. I never liked them anyway, and obviously I couldn't have known at that time that they would end up doing this spam thing.

I'll go through this thread first and delete all pointers to filelodge first, and leave myself a marker as to what image it was. Then sometime in the future, I'll try to replace the images using photobucket. Photobucket has never done this to my knowledge.

Please understand that this should only be affecting a very small percentage of my posts, so I think it would be somewhat Draconian if you deleted me and everything I ever posted. Although, if you think that's what you have to do, do it. I would think of it as "fung shway".

By the way, I don't even know who virob is.

Let me clean up this thread first, at least as far as getting the pointers out of it first. Then I'll do it in the TorE thread, adn I think that should be it. Let me know if you know of any other ones, but I think by then I switched to photobucket.

By the way, the "Pareidolia" thread is all photobucket. It's starts Jul 2006, so by then I was definitely not using filelodge anymore.
