Travel Tuesday

Our travels take us to interesting locations and provide the opportunity to meet with people, learn about cultures and, in general, stand in awe of the world, as we’re speeding through space. This year’s trip to Egypt certainly gave me plenty of opportunity to stand in awe of not only the ancient civilization and its accomplishments, but also the people who live there now. Of course, some of the feats from antiquity make us question how things were accomplished.

Here’s one image that gave me pause for thought…

Ancient Alien?

We’ve all heard the explanation of ‘Ancient Aliens’ to questions about the amazing structures and how they were built, not only in Egypt but many locations on our planet. This stone block at the temple complex at Philae might steer some to that explanation, as does this one…

Otherworldly?

These are some different looking characters that we don’t expect to see walking around. Still not evidence of early arrivals by E.T.

Egyptians had a rich imagination and mythology, in which many unusual creatures feature. I find that these carvings are not any stranger than three-headed snakes with legs or gods with the heads of animals. They were some great thinkers and they still are!
