The Egyptians were quite advanced.

They even had strippers and horus.

That’s an interesting observation. I had not thought about it like that before. Thanks.

Even back then, travel brochures exaggerated the truth. They also showed five-star accommodations when you got a stone bed and a rock pillow, at best.

no idea,

back when I was partying like it was 1999 they begged me to stay and offered me a week and 10k for room service and incidentals, but I don't do black pyramids anymore.

I still have nightmares about the alien Osiran Sutekh who I had though destroyed.

Huh.

Some birds are attracted by human activity, but there’s no humans in the painting, therefore the artist made it all up?

True, and some Roman era wall paintings and murals show stunning creativity and realism that was definitely lost during the Middle Ages and would not be seen again until the Renaissance............

I think there have been a lot of reassessment of the Middle Ages in recent years. They weren’t as ‘dark’ as we have often thought:
