Alrighty, I got my camera to work and now I will post the pictures from Egypt and Kenya here. I will post them here as soon as I figure out how to make them small enough. If someone knows, do you mind posting how to here?

I figured it out

This is an Egyptian God. The story goes that he was ripped into tiny little bits and his lover rebuilt him she couldn't find his penis. She made a wooden one and attached it. It was slightly bigger

This was some ancient stonework and you can see an obelisk off to the side.

Very nice pictures, Druidus, but you may have lessened the impact by having the very first picture you posted be of Kokhenaten, Lord of the Almighty Dong. I'm gonnna have the image of that statue stuck in my head for weeks now

This is some weird sh**! I swear there was almost no dust in the air and my camera was clean, and there was no glare. I don't know what these things are, but you could faintly see them with your eyes.

The Pyramids at Cheops. The one with a different colour at the top is like that because it used to be about 60 feet of gold! Can you imagine the original dazzle this used to have?!? Especially since the stone used to be a pure white, instead of brown!

Alright, I'll add some more tomorrow, it's hard work to resize every picture and then put them up here. Tell me what you think of them.

That's the very basic story......it's the story of Osiris. Osiris, and his sister-wife Isis, had several son, one of which was Horus. What happens is that Set, being jealous of his brother Osiris, kills him and tears his body into 13 pieces which he scatters amongst the reeds along the banks of the Nile. So, to resurrect Osiris, Isis and her son Horus (after Horus kills Set) set about finding all his body parts. They find all but his penis. So Isis wraps Osiris' body up in funery bandages (like a mummy) and casts spells upon the body, but before she does this, she crafts a wooden phallus and places it where it should go. Osiris is resurrected, now with a wooden member, and then goes onto the sky (where he is represented by the constellation Orion) to live as a god-immortal, to judge the living and the dead.
Apart from that......great piccies
Looks like you captured some orbs in your photos.....interesting.
Yep the Giza pyramids were originally lined with white limestone slabs and capped with gold benbens. They would've been spectacular to see when they were like that.

I got a couple of pictures with orbs in Egypt, but none in Kenya. Wonder why...
Here's another, it's of a temple they built and later found anothert builing buried in the sand underneath.

Very cool. I would love to visit Egypt one day. The picture with the Pyramid of Cheops I think is the best out of the lot.

Cool pictures Druidus. I had a chance to go to Egypt a couple of years ago when I was in Cyprus. I decided against it and have regreted not going ever since.
