That's the problem -- no evidence of a flood -- and why we don't take the grandson of Noah founder of Egypt claim seriously.

Fair enough.

I'm easy.

Mizraim didn't found Egypt.

Menes founded Egypt.

How's that?

BUT ... Mizraim was the progenitor of the Egyptians.

From AI Overview:

Mizraim: In the Hebrew Bible, the ancestor of the Egyptians is named Mizraim, a son of Ham and grandson of Noah. The name Mizraim is an ancient Hebrew name for Egypt.

And none of that tallies with the evidence that the Egyptian kingdom existed during the time of the Flood and would have been analogous with both the Flood and the Tower of Babel, let alone the fact that when Mizraim was born, the Egyptian kingdom was still around!

From AI Overview:

Several issues plague ancient Egyptian genealogies, making them problematic for accurate reconstruction. These include fragmentary and inconsistent records, propaganda in official accounts, the deliberate suppression of information, and the rampant practice of incest within the royal family.
Egypt isn't dated by "geneologies". That would be a horrible way to date something. It is the sequence of reigns of kings and their historical overlap with kings from other nations. (I'm not interesting in chatting with your bot.)
And I'll bet next you'll say Jesus wasn't born in AD 1, He was born in 4 BC ... right?

Oh ... wait ... :doh:
Which has exactly to do with nothing in this thread, neither the actual topic (baby planets) or this silly side topic (the founding of Egypt and a "flood"). I have no idea when or if Jesus was born. The two versions of the story are not compatible with a single date anyway.
Academia has people walking this earth who weren't born yet.
Your weird "Academia" obsession isn't doing you any favors here as this is incoherent.

Pointing out that Mizraim could not have been the founder of the Egpytian people when all the evidence points that, at the time before he was even born, the Egyptian people already existed is not putting the cart before the horse. It's pointing out a logical fact. Or is your new comment going to be 'LOGIC CAN TAKE A HIKE'?

I'll say one thing:

You're selective in what you'll accept as conversation points.

But when good points are made, and you filter them out on principle ... well ...

All of Egypt was destroyed by a massive flood of beer? Haven't heard that one before (but I'm not into mythology). If you've got to go it isn't the worst way to go.
I found this. It was mixed with beer and wine because some goddess got upset at Ra. Or something, something.

Here is the pyramid of the 5th dynasty pharaoh Unas who reigned c. 2375 - 2345 BC.

The burial chamber inside the pyramid is famous for the Pyramid Texts where the translated text in the rectangle reads "The Great Flood - what flood?"

Now could you at least go back to accusing the scientists in the the paper referenced through the OP of misconduct?

Were they paid to say that?

That is, did they receive a stipend for their work?

I don't think the telescope was paid. The image is what it is as seen through the telescope, which is a new born planet. Astrophysics is an exciting science with all sorts of discoveries happening.

To say "that"? No. They were paid to make the observations, analyze the data, synthesize their results, write a technical paper, and communicate the results to the public. You know, the normal things scientists do. They wrote what they did because that is what they found.
That is, did they receive a stipend for their work?
It's called a salary.

Was it programmed?
The telescope? Professional scientific telescopes (and frankly a lot of amateur ones) are pointed by programmable motors and this observation used the adaptive optics, which uses a waveform corrector. These consist of mirrors with many tiny actuators that change the shape of the mirror to counter the effects of turbulence in our atmosphere to keep it carefully in focus. All of that requires programing custom software. That's what some of the people at ESO do.
Correct.



Allegedly ... right?
The paper detailing the analysis that shows the observed object is a young planet is linked in the first page of this thread.
Sounds good.

Do you think they'll eventually find a wormhole?
Off topic. No reason to think they are real.

This thread had a large clean up of off topic posts.
The topic is not the flood, or Egypt, it is in the OP.

Stay on topic.
