Templed and beLIEfed out (Aswan, Egypt)
Two more temples to see on the way back to Luxor and then I begin my march toward Israel. Marching - the modern way that is - via 4 wheel land vehicles and aeroplanes.
On my earlier visit to Abydos and Dendara, the former famous for having what is thought to be the best reliefs in Egypt, it struck me how this (Old Egypt) belief system that persisted and evolved for a few thousand years --- turned out to be one BIG FAT LIE. The colors and scale of the depictions on these buildings overwhelmed me. Impressive on one hand, incredibly dumb and stupid on the other. Like human hamsters in a wheel.
The pyramids can overwhelm by scale of CONstruction, and the various tombs by intricacy and sheer number, but the temples to the heavyweight Gods (DEities) of the Egyptian pantheon take it to another level. Abydos felt like it could be the Sistine Chapel of old Egypt. Only one difference now.....the Sistine Chapel ain't going to be standing like Abydos when the final hour passes. Rome probably isn't a good place to be - unless you want to die or just don't care.
After all...it's a NEW-CLEAR war, not a Nuclear War. I will explain this later. If you can tear your eyes away from headlines like - Google stock past $500! Moo-lah. Moo-Lah. Moo-Lah.
MOOing...in the STOCK Market. What was that story about the Golden Cow? Has anything changed? "Aaron" strikes again.
Not much else to say at the moment. I've stopped posting who I told about upcoming events, because frankly, I've stopped keeping track. Maybe I will try to remember everyone when I go home.
Today's words:
NATIONality
interNATIONal
reincarNATION
fat CAT, DOG fight, CAT fight, SHARK, BITCH, busy BEE, a SNAKE, CHICKEN, CAT walk, FOXy...
I imagine every language has them...
...and we call ourselves human beings. NOT! Human Animals!
