Egypt still rules

 

10 lasting traditions from Ancient Egypt


1- Writing

The Ancient Egyptians invented writing and were the first people who used the pen and sheets of papyrus to register everyday activity.

2- Easter holiday
 
The Ancient Egyptians were the first to celebrate Easter and they used to colour eggs at Easter time.

3- The Calendar

The Ancient Egyptians had divided the year into seasons that consisted of 365 days. Two lasting Calendar scenes can still be seen today, one in Abydos Temple and the other at Kom-Ombo Temple. There is also a calendar masterpiece on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

4- Surgical instruments

The Ancient Egyptians invented several surgical instruments to use in medical operations and the famous scene of surgical instruments in Kom-Ombo Temple shows the similarity between their surgical instruments and ones used today including forceps to aid the delivery of babies.

5-  The Wedding Ring

Well that might surprise some people but the fact of the matter is giving a bride a ring on their wedding day was indeed an Ancient Egyptian tradition and of course now practised worldwide.

6- Music

We have learned from several artistic scenes in the Valley of the Nobles on the West bank of Luxor city that Music and dancing played an important part to entertain and amuse them.

7- Social Drinking (Wine & Beer)

Beer was the official drink of all Ancient Egyptians while wine was the drink of Royalties. Ancient Egyptians made their beer of barley while their wine was made out of grapes and apples. A tomb of a brewer who served an ancient Egyptian court more than 3,000 years ago has just been discovered in Luxor.
The man buried in it was “head of beer production”, archaeologists say.

8- Wrapping the dead body in Linen.

The Ancient Egyptians used to wrap their mummified bodies in white linen before they buried them; surprisingly this is still the same tradition in modern Egypt, as the dead body must be wrapped in white linen before being buried.

9-  Wrestling

One of the most important sporting scenes that had been represented in Beni-Hassan Tombs in El Minya City (Middle of Egypt 300Km south of Cairo) shows how the Ancient Egyptians were passionate about the Wrestling sport.

10- Astrology

The Temple of Dandara north of Luxor city contains the famous Zodiac scene that has the scorpion and the balance among other Horoscopic astrology figures.

NOT IN MY NAME! NO MORE WAR!

"War" Until the philosophy which hold one race superior And another Inferior Is finally And permanently Discredited And abandoned - Everywhere is war - Me say war. That until there no longer First class and second class citizens of any nation Until the colour of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes - Me say war. That until the basic human rights Are equally guaranteed to all, Without regard to race - Dis a war. That until that day The dream of lasting peace, World citizenship Rule of international morality Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, But never attained - Now everywhere is war - war.

War in the east, War in the west, War up north, War down south - War - war - Rumours of war. And until that day, The African continent Wi...

Zionism will devour Christianity.  It's the nature of the snake to devour it's pray...er...prey.  Zionism holds no claim to the Second Testament, only the first and of that mostly the five books of Moses.   To be Christ-like is to be someone, a power they cannot understand or a power that no one can destroy.  The Power of Love, Jesus Christ of Nazareth or Yeshua, Lord or Saviour, Prince of Peace, Hope of all Hopes and Joy of all Joys.  All eyes on Yeshua! Deception is here among us and many deceptions are confusing, but many can see through the mist of gossip.  The Truth is beginning to haemorrhage now as you sit there on a dead's man show, dancing on his grave and putting words into his mouth.   There simp...
