Amarna: Capital City of Ancient Egypt

[avad]

I have been gazing in AWE at this elaborate model of the city of Amarna that I found on the web. The detail makes me sigh and get all weepy.Oh to remember and return for a visit...

That is such a nice model. I would love to see it in person as I'm sure pictures don't do it justice. :)
Thanks for posting it.

For a few years now, I'm fascinated by Akhenaten and his era. You have probably seen some pictures of his millenary representations.

oh she is, she is (a handful). She's in her 'terrible twos' right now...we're hoping it's just that.;)
Totally independent. at two. yes.
and active as can be. we are assuming she will grow to be a rock-climber...or stunt-double or some such.
They will all visit this summer...I miss them. My nephew is still my heartsquashingangel, because i had more time to bond with him...but HE's growing WAY too fast. *sigh*

By the way, I have not seen this Whale Rider yet...but I will keep it in mind on your mention.

It blew me away. For reasons only you will understand (to do with shamanic gifts etc that I hinted at in INFO I saw such parrallells between the girl, the culture and my own relationship with my father ~
who I have started receiving synchronous visions from lately and tried to express in electric_poetry

are you added your end to electric_poetry as I'm about to delete those who aren't....

Love
