Old Kingdom Brought Down By Drought
#2
RE: Old Kingdom Brought Down By Drought
I would love to have seen Egypt in it's prime long centuries ago. Supposedly the pyramids were covered in stone that made them appear white from a distance, while the surrounding area was lush green foliage, with lakes and swamps. At least that's what I read once.

Now, it's all about the money. Money to camel or Arabian horse ride out to the Giza plateau, money money money.
So basically, I don't care how it came to look like this now. It is what it is.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
