Tutankhaamun's gold mask, decorated witn enamel and precious stones

Although Tutankhumen's tomb was discovered in 1922, the splendour of his treasure only became fully apparent three years later. First the three funerary "chapels" built of gilded cedarwood had to be opened. Then  the heavy lid of the pink granite sarcophagus was lifted revealing two coffins of gold-plated wood, followed by a third coffin of solid gold. Only then did the excavators come face to face with the pharaoh's mask, an astonishing work in polished gold set with multicoloured stones.

“This love of gold and wrought gemstones, this feeling that they reflected an ideal world and had some kind of enduring magic, went on right up to the time when the dark struggles for survival were over. It is arguable that western civilization was saved by its craftsmen. The wanderers could take their craftsmen with them. Since the smiths made princely  weapons as well as ornaments, they were as necessary to a chieftain’s status as were the bards whose calypsos celebrated his courage.” ~~~Kenneth Clark: Civilisation : 1 The Skin of our Teeth

Prov.10:5
"He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame."

BARNES: "The son is called upon to enter upon the labors of others, and reap where they have sown. To sleep when the plenteous harvest lies ready for the sickle is the most extreme laziness."

 Juan Valdez: Try it!



“Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversation?”~~~Lewis Carroll: Alice in Wonderland.

For the past twelve years my research team has been using all the brain research tools at its disposal, from functional MRI to electro- and magneto-encephalography and even electrodes inserted deep in the human brain, to shed light on the brain mechanisms of consciousness.

I am now happy to report that we have acquired a good working hypothesis. In experiment after experiment, we have seen the same signatures of consciousness: physiological markers that all, simultaneously, show a massive change when a person reports becoming aware of a piece of information (say a word, a digit or a sound).
