The Nabta Playa site in southern Egypt dates back as early as the tenth millennium BC. The Nabta people, who lived between 8,000 and 9,000 years ago, were among the area's first recorded residents, adjusting to the changing topography and demonstrating a comprehensive awareness of astronomy and astronomical phenomena.
The megalithic structures, stone circles, and alignments discovered at Nabta Playa: these ancient people may have been among the first cultures in history to observe and document celestial phenomena, possibly using the structures as early astronomical observatories to track and interpret celestial body movements for practical and ceremonial purposes.
Their capacity to anticipate seasonal shifts, identify key celestial occurrences, and comprehend natural cycles would have been useful in agricultural techniques, resource management, and cultural traditions.

CEO's question: What will be the hourly cost of work of a humanoid robot?

Several projections have been published, e.g. by
@CernBasher
,
@adam_dorr
 and
@GoingBallistic5
. Here's my take.
I've produced a long-form video on this question (see link in comments).

Here is the essence - based on very conservative assumptions (see attached image).

- Production cost: $30,000. A humanoid is ~5% the mass of a passenger car. The costly parts are actuators and gearboxes; the rest is electronics, sensors, a few kWh of batteries, and plastics—components that are highly scalable in volume manufacturing.

- Operating cost: $30,000 per year, of which $18,000 is human oversight and coordination. This is likely way too high.

- Operating time: 6,600 hours per year (330 days × 20 hours/day). That equals the yearly working time of more than three people.

- Work speed vs. humans: 100% initially. As with industrial robots, later generations will likely reach 200%+.

- Business model: Most manufacturers will offer Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) rather than selling units, because it drives far higher revenue and margin. Expect an initial one-time fee roughly equal to manufacturing cost plus a usage fee per year, month, day, or hour.

- Service life (incl. repairs): 8 years.

- Market dynamics: Because humanoids will be highly profitable to use (see below), demand will ramp quickly. But many suppliers will enter, so sustained overly high monopoly pricing is unlikely.

Result: Based on these assumptions, a humanoid work hour will cost at most $14.

That's the highest realistic value. With learning effects and scale, the hourly cost will drop below $10 and likely below $5.
@rethink_x
 even projects that by 2035 a humanoid hour could cost less than $1.

By comparison, a skilled worker's fully loaded hour is $42.53.

Strategic consequence: In competitive markets, companies will have no real choice: first to replace labor shortages, and soon to replace existing roles. Even at $14/hour, the financial advantage vs. human labor is close to $200,000 per robot per year.

I've published a three-part video series on the societal implications of this inevitable shift (see comments).

Urgent advice: If you make or move anything physical, start rethinking your business around humanoids—as a supplier, service provider, or user. It is quiet now, but the ramp-up will be fast.

How about you? Which tasks would you deploy humanoids for first?

☀THE STOMACH IS A PLACE OF ACCUMULATION OF FEMALE ENERGY☀

For many women, the stomach is a closed area; they pull it in, hide it, and avoid having a man touch it, because modern culture has instilled in women that a stomach should be like a man's, with six-pack abs, flat, pumped up, and then it's "beautiful."

Today, women know little about this important area of ��the female body and often compromise their health due to advertising and stereotypes. Let's take a closer look at the importance of this part of the female body.

In many languages, the word "belly" means "Life," and indeed, each of us began our lives in our mother's womb. For a woman, the belly is more than just a place on the body—it's a place of power, a source of well-being and energy, a place of Life Creation (just imagine that).

It is in the abdomen (the area below the navel, where the uterus and reproductive organs are located) that a woman collects energy; its primary strength is found there. Energetically, a woman is structured like a vessel; her primary energy comes from the Earth and accumulates in the abdomen. Accumulated there, this energy supplies the woman's entire body, making her femininely strong and incredibly attractive.

If there is enough energy in the stomach and it flows correctly, then the woman:

- feminine, soft, flexible;
- sexy, attractive;
- easily conceives and carries a child;
- gives birth easily (without injuries and subsequent stretch marks);
- confident in her strength and calm;
- full of life, the energy of life bestowed by Mother Earth directly emanates from her;
- she gets pleasure from closeness to people and from sexual intimacy;
- she feels a connection with the elements and with nature, receives strength from it.

But such women are rare; 80% of women have some degree of groin block. Nowadays, women are taught from childhood to suck in their stomachs, keep them tense, and tighten them, but what are the benefits of this?

- Blockage of energy to the higher centers;
- Inability to deeply relax;
- Squeezed shallow breathing, inability to breathe through the whole body;
- Women's diseases;
- Heavy periods and PMS;
- Accumulation of fears and anxieties;
- Inability to receive pleasure;
- Rejection of one's nature;
- Rigidity, bony nature, lack of flexibility;
- Tense stomach - tense life;
- Development of masculine qualities.

Blocks in the abdominal area are formed for several reasons.

The most important of these is the relationship with the mother. Initially, we were connected to our mothers through the womb, through the umbilical cord. From our mothers, we received all our emotions, all our information about the world. If the mother was afraid throughout her pregnancy, if she wasn't ready for the child, the child will most likely have self-rejection, an inability to enjoy and rejoice, because the most important person in their life didn't allow it. Many fears, complexes, and blocks are born from the mother, and many women are already very uptight from birth.

But we can also receive the highest pleasure and total self-acceptance from our mother. She is the source of life, and her belly is a source of blessings. If a mother was joyful and happy during pregnancy, expecting and enjoying the baby, if she protected it, then the child is born self-confident, accepting its nature, and initially very relaxed. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, a mother is the person you should start working on yourself with. Accept your mother—accept your belly (your life and your nature)—love yourself!

Ideally, it's best to focus on your intrauterine life. Turn on some calming music, imagine yourself in your mother's womb, connected by the umbilical cord, one whole and inseparable, hearing her heart, and this is the most pleasant music for your soul. Imagine your mother rejoicing in you, waiting for you (even if it's not actually like that). Meditate on the umbilical cord, on the profound connection between your bodies, your lives. Accept that you are one. Breathe in unison, exist together. She loves and protects you. She nourishes your life. Mom...

Breathe and feel the connection. You might feel like crying, and that's okay. You need to cry—it helps ease fears and restore intimacy. This meditation should be practiced until you fully accept that you are your mother's child, that you are her flesh and blood, a part of her. This will not only deepen the relationship but also bring peace and relaxation.

Also, an inguinal block is often formed by a traumatic sexual experience. A woman becomes tense and doesn't want to let a man approach her anymore. Even in marriage, she sometimes simply endures and waits for sexual intimacy to end. You can rewrite the script of this relationship. First, write down the trauma on paper, writing about it until the words run out. Then burn it all. And mentally visualize a different image of that intimacy, a more pleasant, relaxed one.

It's also good to practice the following with your husband:
The woman lies down and relaxes, closing her eyes, while her husband simply strokes her stomach clockwise, sometimes applying gentle pressure, then gently again. The area of ��the stomach closest to the groin should be stroked. In tantric sexual practices, a woman is prepared for intimacy through abdominal massage. First, breathing exercises, body massage, and abdominal massage in the groin area are performed, followed by intimacy in which the woman is capable of experiencing not only divine pleasure but also deep orgasm. One practitioner worked with a frigid woman who, in 35 years of life, had never experienced orgasm or pleasure from intimacy. He taught her husband abdominal massage, and after a few sessions, the woman for the first time experienced not only a deep, trusting connection with her husband but also the pleasure of intimacy and orgasm.

It's worth noting that the abdominal area accumulates a huge number of emotions, both good and bad, and to reach pleasant sensations, you'll need to release all the negativity that's accumulated there. Usually, during the first few sessions of abdominal massage, fears are released through tears and muscle contractions. Fears always keep us tense and prevent us from relaxing. Therefore, the first step is releasing your fears, sobbing, and then calm will set in, followed by bliss. During an abdominal massage, a lot of pent-up energy is released, and you may feel agitated. This is normal.

Another cause of abdominal tightness is intense fears and difficult emotional states: the loss of loved ones, conflicts in family relationships, serious disappointments in life, long-held rage, anger, stress, and life-threatening situations. All of these accumulate in the stomach. These can be processed through writing practices, holotropic breathwork, and vivation.

A woman needs to learn to relax her stomach and accept it. A relaxed stomach has many benefits:

+ Easy pregnancy and childbirth. Many women experience injuries during childbirth due to tension in the abdomen and hips. During labor, it's important to relax the abdomen and all internal organs to ensure the baby's passage is as wide as possible and easy for the baby to pass through. If a woman did abdominal exercises before giving birth but didn't do any stretching, there's a high risk of injury and stretch marks.

+ Proper energy flow. When the abdomen is relaxed, energy rises freely, supplying a woman's entire body and nourishing all energy centers. This is why, in many traditions, women wore loose clothing—the sarafan in Russia, the sari in India, and wide skirts and tunics in Asia. In such clothing, energy not only flows easily into the body but is also amplified by the dome-shaped shape of the feet.

+ Deep breathing. Most women today breathe at the very surface of their lungs; their breathing is shallow and doesn't fully oxygenate the body. If a woman's abdomen is relaxed, she can breathe through her entire body. This type of breathing is calming, pacifying, brings order to thoughts, rejuvenates, circulates energy in the body, and brings grace, smoothness, and fluidity to movement.

+ Sexuality and attractiveness. A soft stomach is very sexy for men because a woman symbolizes softness, tenderness, and pliability. Strong men like soft women, not only in character but also in appearance. After all, the outer reflects the inner. If your man insists that you have a toned stomach with six-pack abs, it means he likes strong, masculine women and either wants a leadership role and equal responsibility from you, or he's too susceptible to the social influence of advertising. Don't react to this. Accept yourself, and then others will accept you.

A soft stomach doesn't mean you're overweight. Even a thin girl can have a relaxed, soft stomach that looks very feminine, with graceful curves. It's beautiful, sexy, and feminine.

Oriental belly dancing can help relax the abdomen; it's a great activity for women, making them feel more attractive, feminine, and enchanting. It also helps relieve groin tension and cramps. Note that this is belly dancing, not muscle flexing.

What shouldn't you do with your stomach?

- It is unfavorable to pierce the abdomen. This blocks the energy in the lower centers, leaving the upper chakras de-energized;

- It's unfavorable to wear clothing that reveals the groin area. This area holds a lot of sexual energy, and if a woman exposes it to everyone, it quickly depletes.

- It is unfavorable to wear tight clothing, it creates tension in the body, and the energy moves in the body according to the male type, forming masculine character traits.

The belly is a symbol of Life, how you treat it, how you feel it - that is how your Life will be!

At 12, Aisha Mohammedzai's family promised her a marriage to a Taliban fighter. At 14, she married him. During her marriage, she was constantly abused by her husband and his entire family. At 18, she ran away but was caught. For her disobedience, her husband and his relatives took her to the mountains, where they cut off her nose and ears and left her for dead. She survived and crawled to her uncle's house, but he refused to help her. Eventually, her father and grandfather hid her at an American military base. Aisha's story received international attention. Her photograph, disfigured, appeared on the cover of TIME magazine. The image sparked a debate about the oppression of women in Afghanistan. In the United States, she underwent numerous surgeries. Doctors reconstructed her nose using tissue from her forehead and cartilage from her body. In addition to her physical recovery, she had to deal with severe mental trauma, stress-related seizures, and emotional disorders. Aisha now lives in Maryland. Below is a photo of her with her reconstructed nose. Planet Earth, 21st century.

A 200,000-year-old Denisovan that changes the story
Scientists sequenced a Denisovan tooth from Siberia, only the second high-quality Denisovan genome.
This older Denisovan carries ~3.6–5.2% Neandertal DNA, compared to ~1.8–2.5% in the younger Denisovan, which means there were several mixing events.
The data reveal at least three Denisovan lineages. Oceanians have the highest Denisovan ancestry today, and the patterns point to separate encounters with modern humans: an early southern route (South Asia to Oceania) and a later northern route into East Asia.
Takeaway: Denisovan DNA in us comes from multiple groups and multiple contacts, not a single event.
