It gives perspective on our short lives. What will remain for thousands of years from our generation?
Supposedly, something is going to be announced from Egypt on Oct. 7th, that will change a lot of things. I have no idea whether that’s true or not but that’s what I heard.
That ought to be interesting! I really enjoy watching documentaries on ancient civilizations, especially Egyptian. There is so much we don’t know, don’t understand. I love it.
