The Black Pharaohs of Egypt . · 01-26-2008

If anyone is looking for a good read pick up the new National Geographic . I got it today and the cover read is about that . Some of the historical facts are pretty neat .

On a side note We have in town a huge museum like garden center ( Frederick Meijer Gardens ) that has some great stuff , the next couple months is a Art of Africa exhibit ... it should be good . I'll fill you in .

Being an outsider doesn't make you Pharaoh... it makes you an outsider who came and conquered and declared yourself a Pharaoh...

We missed some of your insights on a couple religious topics lately.. Even LST showed up to chime in.. Almost felt like old times.
