Nubians have a rich cultural heritage, with a history that dates back thousands of years. The Nubian people have their own language and distinct traditions, including unique architectural styles, traditional music, and vibrant art. Due to various factors such as the construction of dams, notably the Aswan High Dam, and other changes in the region, many Nubians were displaced from their ancestral lands. Some resettled in new villages built by the government, while others moved to urban areas. Visiting a Nubian village provides an opportunity to experience the Nubian way of life, learn about their history and culture, and appreciate their unique architecture and crafts.

To celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science we want to spotlight Hypatia. She was born in Alexandria around 360 CE and was an influential mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher in the Eastern Roman Empire. As the daughter of the esteemed mathematician Theon of Alexandria, Hypatia received a comprehensive education in mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. Her intellectual prowess and eloquence led her to become the head of the Neoplatonist school in Alexandria, where she lectured on mathematics and astronomy, making substantial contributions to these fields. Hypatia's teachings attracted a diverse student body, transcending gender norms of her time. Tragically, her life was cut short in 415 CE when she fell victim to a violent death, marking the untimely end of a remarkable scholar and symbol of intellectual brilliance in ancient Alexandria.

The nilometer, an ancient Egyptian hydrological device, served as a vital tool in predicting the annual flooding of the Nile River. It took various forms, such as vertical wells with graduated columns or horizontal channels. Placed strategically along the Nile, often near religious sites, the nilometer allowed Egyptians to gauge water levels, foreseeing the intensity of the impending flood which was critical for agricultural prosperity. Its readings influenced tax rates and agricultural planning, imbuing the device with religious significance tied to divine blessings. With technological advancements and changes in agricultural practices, the nilometer's importance waned over time. Surviving examples, like this one, serve as enduring relics, offering a glimpse into the ancient civilization's sophisticated hydrological and cultural practices.

It's once again a Leap Year, but where exactly did this practice come from? In ancient Egypt, a civilization renowned for early advancements in astronomy, scholars recognized the misalignment between their 365-day calendar and the solar year's approximate duration of 365.25 days. Although leap years were not explicitly implemented as in modern calendars, their understanding reflected an early awareness of the need for timekeeping adjustments. Fast forward to 45 BCE when Julius Caesar, advised by the Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes, introduced the Julian calendar in Rome. This calendar included a leap year every four years, akin to contemporary systems. However, the simplicity of this approach led to a minor annual discrepancy. The subsequent refinement came with the Gregorian calendar reform in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, which addressed accumulated errors and aligned the calendar more precisely with astronomical cycles. This historical trajectory, from Egypt's ancient celestial pursuits to Caesar's Roman reforms to Pope Gregory's refinement, exemplifies the continuous human quest to synchronize calendars with the celestial cadence of the universe.
