Was it Her Beauty? Her Charm?
Her Alluring Voice? Her Intelligence?
Her Political Savvy? Her Sexual Prowess?

Bet her Auto-Biography would have been a 'Best Seller!'

OH ... the Pic?
Mother of Romulus and Remus ...
Could an Analogy be drawn?
Was She (Cleo VII) a Re-Incarnation of ISIS?

Some Egypt Facts

© - Tom Hyland - 2/6/11


Watched an MPTV Rick Steves’ Travelogue Today -
Oops!
It was the End ... the last Five Minutes!

Egypt’s Population is about Sixty-Six Million People.
Less than a Quarter of the U.S.A.
More than One-Half of the Country is Agrarian in Nature.
The River Nile is Still the ‘Life-Blood’ of their Existence.


Hieroglyphics on an Ancient Memorial tell us That:
Egyptian Warriors depicted always carried Laurel Branches
In their Left Hands - Closest to the Heart - As a Symbol of Peace!
Weapons of War were always in the Right Hand.


From wikipedia.com:
Cleopatra VII - Late 69 BC - August 12 - 30 BC.
Hellenistic (Greek) Queen - Last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.
The Most Celebrated Woman of Ancient History.


EPILOGUE:


Considering the Current Events in Egypt Today -
Would that a Cleopatra VIII could Appear ...
To Begin Another Twenty-Year Reign!
Forsooth?
