Hero sequence

The homepage hero is an eight-scene bright-daylight video montage — approximately thirty-two seconds at 30 fps, encoded as one desktop and one portrait MP4. Five scenes are trimmed segments of licensed Pexels footage; three (Abu Simbel, Siwa, Fayoum) are Wikimedia Commons stills animated at encode time with a gentle Ken Burns push or pan. No source identity is reused elsewhere on the site.

Hero-only source identities (not reused elsewhere on the site): Abu Simbel, Egypt — Diego Delso · Siwa Oasis, Egypt — Marwaomar23 (Wikimedia contributor) · Fayoum, Egypt — Ibrahim El-Mezayen.
