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.

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
