Mayoral race|In recent years, potential participants in Helsinki’s upcoming mayoral race have been featured in various contexts.

Next Helsinki’s new mayor will be elected in connection with the spring municipal elections. The current mayor Juhana Vartiainen (kok)’s continuation is not certain, because his support within the party has been weak in terms of continuation.
HS found out who are the most likely to register for the mayoral race.
Names have been floated one way or another, but only two people have so far announced with certainty that they are available for mayor: the Greens Fatim Diarra and Sdp Eveliina Heinäluoma.

Diarra is known for his provocative writings.
The freshest Diarra, who signed up for the race, has been featured in a new kind of connection in June, when he appeared together Iida Tanin the book he delivered with Permission to be a girl. The work made in collaboration between Into Kustannus and Naisasialiitto Union deals with sexual harassment experienced by women.

Elected to parliament for his first term in the spring of 2023, Diarra was a familiar name even before his career as a member of parliament.
He is known, among other things, for his provocative posts on social media. In 2017, while working as a city councilor for the Greens, Diarra had to apologize for his Facebook comment, which was intended to be humorous, in which he stated that “the only reason to move to the forest is incest and the fact that no one hears when the wife cries for help”.
“
Eveliina Heinäluomaa was considered a “wild card” for the position of deputy mayor.
Eveliina Heinäluoma on the other hand, became a member of parliament in 2019, when a record number of women joined parliament. He was the first candidate whose participation in the struggle for the position of mayor was confirmed.
Heinäluoma has been politically present for a long time. Already more than ten years ago, he worked in Demarinuori, among other things, and in 2017 he was considered a “wild card” for the position of Deputy Mayor of Helsinki. However, he was not elected at that time.
Recently, Heinäluoma has said, among other things, that she is expecting her first child, but that she will return to work before next year’s municipal elections.

Paavo Arhinmäki
Other the persons intending to run for mayor have not yet been confirmed, and there is not yet complete certainty about all possible candidates.
For example, the following names have been hinted at as part of the struggle.
Deputy Mayor of Helsinki Paavo Arhinmäki (left) has been popular in his current position, so the name has been on the lips of those considering the next mayor.
Daniel Sazonov
During the last year, Arhinmäki has been exposed to his fine sentence. The verdict came for making graffiti along the train track that runs to the port of Vuosaari on Midsummer’s Eve last year.
Arhinmäki did not run for office in the parliamentary elections in the spring of 2023 because he did not want to give up his position as deputy mayor. In the last municipal elections in 2021, Arhinmäki ran for the position of mayor with the election slogan “neighbourhood mayor”.
Also among other things Daniel Sazonov (kok) as well as Jan Vapaavuoren (kok) names have also been featured as participants in the mayoral race.
Jan Vapaavuori
Sazonov, who currently also serves as one of Helsinki’s deputy mayors, is a popular candidate within his own party.
At the time of the last mayoral election, he stood out, for example, with his idea that the people of Helsinki should visit a doctor more often remotely. He has been described as conservative and liberal at the same time.
Among other things Helsinki News has said that Vapaavuor, who was the mayor of Helsinki in the years 2017–2021, has already been courted as a mayoral candidate. Vapaavuori himself said that he has not “thought the matter more deeply”.
After his term as mayor, Vapaavuori has been featured in, for example, 2022 as part of the Olympic Committee’s harassment scandal.
In the scandal, allegations of harassment against a top sports director were investigated Mika Lehtimäki towards. At the time, it was reported that Vapaavuori downplayed his part in the scandal.
Above in addition to the mentioned names, the MP who came second in the presidential election has also emerged as possible participants in the mayoral race Pekka Haavisto (green) and Deputy Mayor of Helsinki Anni Sinnemäki (green).
The coalition in particular is said to be waiting to see who the Greens are going to nominate as their main candidate.

The original occupant of an Egyptian sarcophagus was unknown. Then a tiny ornament revealed a very big name
[url=https://tripscan.biz]tripscan top[/url]
A sarcophagus discovered in 2009 in an Egyptian burial chamber came with a complicated history: Ancient writing on the stone container showed that it had been used twice, but while its second occupant, the 21st dynasty high priest Menkheperre, was known, the first owner had remained a mystery — until now.
New clues have surfaced as a result of Frederic Payraudeau, an associate professor in Egyptology at Sorbonne University in Paris, reexamining a fragment of the granite sarcophagus and deciphering the hieroglyphs engraved on it. Tucked away in the cartouche, an oval-shaped ornament often found in tombs, he found a name of a very recognizable figure: Ramesses II.
Payraudeau said the inscription is evidence that the artifact was originally from the tomb of the famous pharaoh and had been reused after looting.
“Clearly, this was the sarcophagus of a king,” Payraudeau said. “The cartouche dates back to its first usage, and contains Ramesses II’s throne name, Usermaatra. He was the only pharaoh to use this name during his time, so that cleared any doubt that it was his sarcophagus.”
The findings, published in the journal Revue d’Egyptologie, add to the lore of Ramesses II, also known as Ozymandias and one of Egypt’s most celebrated pharaohs. It also fills a gap in our understanding of how sarcophagi were used to entomb kings.
Ramesses II was the third king of the 19th dynasty, and his reign — from 1279 to 1213 BC — was the second longest in the history of Egypt. He was known for his victorious military campaigns and an interest in architecture, which led him to order up important monuments and statues of himself. His mummy is at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo.
Another coffin belonging to Ramesses II was discovered in 1881 near Luxor, but the sarcophagus fragment analyzed in the study was found in Abydos, a city about 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the northwest in a straight line.
“That is less bizarre than it seems,” Payraudeau said, “because we know his tomb was looted in the antiquity, maybe two centuries after his death, and he’s certainly not the only king to have been looted.”
The granite fragment, which is a nearly complete part of the longer side of the sarcophagus, was previously believed to have belonged to a prince. “But I always found this strange, because the decoration on this carefully crafted piece was indicative of a king, and had elements traditionally reserved for kings,” Payraudeau said.
