The enduring adventure and romance of ancient Egypt

The fallen mighty - Rameses ll, Wadi-es-Sebua, Nubia

Fifty metres away from the temple, a statue of Rameses lay half buried in the red sand in fallen grandeur, as though cast out of the precinct, while the inner temple showed an image of Rameses worshipping himself as a god.

(The Ibis Apocalypse) 

NOTE: 

Egypt endures - that's what Egypt does best.  

In spite of the current disarray, the revolution is just a blip in its long history.

A comforting thought for ancient Egypt lovers.
