Ancient Egypt

This internet cafe is along the East bank of the Nile in Luxor. It is quite a beautiful view to enjoy on our last day in the South. Hubby bought me a Nikon D50, which is a bad ass camera but, unfortunately, the photo files are too large to upload without spending half the day in the internet cafe. So here are a few shots from the Sony Cybershot point and shoot.



After being herded through temples and tombs with our fellow passengers from the Nile Cruise, all of us have had our fill of the pharaohs. Fascinating, yes, but thoroughly exhausting. And everything starts to run together.

What is now apparent after four days of ancient Egyptian history on the go is that so much of the Bible is shameless plagiarism of the original religious fantasies. Osiris and Seth are Cain and Abel. Isis and Horus are the Virgin Mary and Jesus. The stories are the same, the sentiment is unaltered, yet humanity falls for the same sheep in different clothing time and again. History repeats itself over and over and over and over....
