OPEN// Egypt recovers 11 smuggled artifacts via cooperation with the US
CAIRO, June 4 (MENA) – Egypt's Consulate General in New York has recovered a collection of 11 Egyptian artifacts thanks to close cooperation with the New York County District Attorney's Office, US law enforcement authorities, the foreign ministry's cultural sector, and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates on Wednesday. The move comes as part of the Egyptian State's continued efforts to preserve its cultural heritage and recover smuggled Egyptian artifacts, the ministry said in a statement. The restored artifacts comprise a remarkable collection of historically significant antiquities that were smuggled out of Egypt in recent years. US authorities traced and seized them in preparation for their repatriation to Egypt, it added. The collection includes a vessel of the god Bes, dating back to the Late Period of ancient Egypt (circa 600 B.C.), a pendant in the shape of the head of Horus dating approximately between 300-700 B.C., and the head of a Roman-era statue dating between the 1st and 4th centuries.

Do You Know Why Doctors Write 'Rx' On Their Prescriptions?
Last Updated: Ever wondered what "Rx" means? It isn't shorthand for a secret medical formula or a pharmaceutical code. It's actually much older, and surprisingly poetic. In many cultures, doctors are revered as earthly manifestations of the divine – guardians who snatch lives back from the brink using their skill, science, and silent compassion. But even as doctors offer us hope and healing, much of their written language remains a puzzle to the untrained eye. Prescriptions are often filled with squiggly handwriting and mysterious abbreviations. One such enigma sits right at the top of most prescriptions: the symbol 'Rx". Ever wondered what 'Rx" means? It isn't shorthand for a secret medical formula or a pharmaceutical code. It's actually much older, and surprisingly poetic. The 'Rx" symbol is derived from the Latin word Recipere, which means 'to take". When a doctor writes 'Rx" at the beginning of a prescription, they are essentially saying, 'Take this medicine". Some historians and symbologists trace the origins of 'Rx" even further back – over 5,000 years – to the mythological lore of ancient Egypt. According to legend, the falcon-headed deity Horus, associated with the sun and healing, lost his eye in a battle with evil. His mother, the goddess Isis, appealed to the gods, and Horus's eye was miraculously restored. The restored 'Eye of Horus" became a powerful symbol of protection, health, and healing. Over time, this symbol – an eye with markings resembling modern-day 'Rx" – was adopted by early healers as a mark of medicinal care. Though modern historians debate the accuracy of this mythological connection, the resemblance between the 'Eye of Horus" and the 'Rx" symbol is undeniable. First Published: May 12, 2025, 16:02 IST

The Pineal Guardian: The Spiritual Core of Inner Intelligence
Throughout history, humans have searched for meaning beyond the tangible world. Among the body's many organs, none has captured both scientific and mystical attention quite like the pineal gland. In contemporary spiritual dialogue, this organ is often referred to as the pineal guardian—a term that emphasizes its dual role as a biological mechanism and a spiritual sentinel. While the pineal gland's function in regulating sleep and circadian rhythm is well documented, the pineal guardian represents something deeper. It is seen as a center of higher insight, a transmitter of divine intuition, and the place from which visionary consciousness can emerge. As people look inward for answers to the stresses of modern life, the pineal guardian is increasingly recognized as the key to unlocking the hidden dimensions of human awareness. Long before the age of neurobiology, ancient civilizations recognized the power of the pineal guardian. In Egyptian culture, the Eye of Horus represented protection and inner vision—symbols often linked to the pineal gland. Similarly, Vedic texts from India speak of the ajna chakra, or third eye, which governs intuition and wisdom. These systems allude to the pineal guardian without using the modern term, suggesting a deep understanding of its role in spiritual perception. From Greek philosophers to Eastern mystics, references to an internal faculty that sees truth beyond illusion have persisted through millennia. The pineal guardian has always been part of the human story, quietly guiding seekers toward enlightenment, creativity, and a direct experience of the divine. In today's digital, high-speed world, many people feel disconnected from themselves. They are bombarded with external information yet deprived of inner peace. The resurgence of interest in meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork is no coincidence—it represents a subconscious desire to reconnect with the pineal guardian. As individuals begin to still their minds and purify their bodies, they start noticing subtle changes: increased intuition, vivid dreams, spontaneous insight. These shifts are often attributed to the awakening of the pineal guardian. What was once a dormant or overlooked aspect of the self begins to light up, reminding us that the answers we seek are often already within. The pineal guardian doesn't scream for attention; it whispers truth through quiet moments of clarity. Though its spiritual potential is vast, the pineal guardian is also vulnerable to damage from modern habits. Poor diet, chronic stress, artificial lighting, and environmental toxins can cloud its sensitivity. One of the most debated concerns is calcification—a hardening of the pineal tissue thought to be caused by substances like fluoride. While scientific evidence on the topic is still evolving, many choose to take proactive steps to protect their pineal guardian. This includes detoxification, cleaner water sources, reduced screen exposure, and natural sleep rhythms. Through consistent care, the pineal guardian can regain its full function, becoming not just an internal clock but an internal compass. Supporting this vital part of the brain allows for both physiological balance and spiritual awakening, showing how interconnected mind, body, and spirit truly are. Those seeking to activate the pineal guardian often begin with daily rituals aimed at aligning physical and energetic systems. Practices such as yoga, chanting, visualization, and silence are designed to focus attention on the inner eye. Over time, these exercises build awareness and sensitivity, allowing the pineal guardian to become more active and responsive. Some explore sound healing using frequencies believed to resonate with this energy center. Others turn to natural supplements or plant medicines that enhance perception and remove energetic blockages. While each person's journey is unique, the goal remains the same: to reawaken the pineal guardian and reconnect with higher consciousness. As the process unfolds, individuals frequently describe a deeper sense of peace, a clearer life direction, and a heightened ability to discern truth from illusion. The activation of the pineal guardian has implications far beyond spiritual insight. As it comes online, many people report psychological shifts, including reduced anxiety, enhanced empathy, and an improved ability to process emotions. It seems the pineal guardian doesn't just expand awareness—it also refines character. By opening the gateway to deeper understanding, it allows individuals to move beyond reaction and enter reflection. The emotional body becomes less chaotic, more aligned with higher guidance. In this state, decision-making flows from inner knowing rather than external pressure. The pineal guardian thus becomes a foundation for emotional maturity and mental resilience. Its awakening supports a well-rounded transformation—mental, emotional, and spiritual growth interwoven in one integrated journey. While the pineal guardian is a personal gateway, its widespread activation could lead to collective transformation. When individuals begin to operate from a state of inner awareness, their choices reflect compassion, clarity, and collaboration. This shift can ripple outward into families, communities, and even global systems. Some spiritual leaders believe that humanity stands at the edge of a consciousness revolution, and that the pineal guardian is central to that awakening. As more people explore inner realms and reconnect with universal intelligence, a new world becomes possible—one grounded in wisdom, not fear. The pineal guardian, once dormant for so many, may be the silent catalyst behind this evolution. The pineal guardian stands not as a distant mystery, but as an intimate part of who we are. It is the still voice within that sees the truth when the world feels noisy and unclear. To awaken it is to remember a forgotten language—the language of light, wisdom, and divine perception. In a time when external systems are failing to meet the needs of the soul, the pineal guardian offers a timeless path home. It does not promise escape, but rather deeper engagement with the present moment. Through it, we find clarity. Through it, we see beyond illusion. And through it, we come to know ourselves, not as fractured beings, but as unified, aware, and free. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Embassy of Egypt expands interaction with Korean public through art
Marking 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Egypt and Korea, Ambassador Khaled Abdel Rahman leaves open the embassy's doors and promotes immersive exhibition. Khaled Abdel Rahman, Egypt's ambassador to South Korea, sees a distinguished similarity between the two countries — a huge river that runs through the country, the Nile in Egypt and Han River in Korea. 'We say the river Nile is the gift to Egypt, and here you also have the Han river. That was why there was civilization in Korea and Egypt,' the ambassador said during the interview on Wednesday at Walkerhill Hotel & Resort. 'Water means you can have agriculture, and when you have agriculture, you have human settlement, then you have a community, develop education and start to develop culture.' The ancient history of Egypt is brought back to life through 'Egyptian Pharaohs, From Cheops to Ramesses II' at Walkerhill Hotel & Resort. The digital immersive exhibition encompasses 10 themes that include the stories of the Nile, pharaohs, myths, pyramids and temples. 'I think it brings Egyptian civilization in a digital format to the Korean viewers, which is very unique for Korea as (the country is) very advanced in this field of technology. I think it will give Korean companies many suggestions on how civilizations can be brought to life again through digital art,' Rahman said. The exhibition coincides with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. At the entrance to the exhibition is the embassy's collection, brought from Egypt's Ministry of culture. The replicas of 'The Great Temple of Abu Simbel,' a monumental temple complex built by pharaoh Ramesses II to assert his divine power, and two statues "Horus Depicted as a Hawk" are part of the collection on display. 'Horus was an interesting creature flying in the sky, and the king believed that it was his protector. You know, like the aircraft. That is how this myth developed the Horus, and it is actually the logo of the Egypt Air,' he said. Marking the 30th anniversary, the Egyptian Embassy in Seoul has opened its doors to the public, the ambassador said, to facilitate cultural interaction with people here to promote the country's culture. 'This is a big role for embassies to be among the public, not just for official functions, not just for the national holiday reception,' he said. 'We are happy to host Korean children from schools and give them some lectures and they can look around the Embassy and its collection. Anybody who wants to come and visit, just contact the embassy.' The ambassador expects the immersive exhibition, which has a running time of 36 minutes, to draw a large audience as it is not only visually beautiful but educational. He also expressed gratitude to Tmonet, the Korean operator of the Theatre des Lumieres, as partner of French company Culturespaces, and the Embassy of France for making the exhibition possible in Seoul. The exhibition will run until Oct.31. Lastly the ambassador expressed his wish for 'Korean universities to open a department for Egyptology. This can open an opportunity for a lot of Koreans, for job opportunities with digital technology in Korea."
