Photos of Luxor, Egypt

Vicarious travel is available on this blog. There are many closeups of Egyptian statuary and hieroglyphic writing. I have looked at hieroglyphic alphabets often enough that I can't simply skim past anymore; my eyes are snagged by what registers as writing, and I find myself looking for symbols I recognize, even though I can't read all of them. I also recognize Horus in the statues, and there are sphinx statues too. Other images show buildings, walls, surrounding scenery, camels, and so forth. This is a lovely collection of Egyptian imagery for anyone who needs something to tickle their muse.

Come to Cahokia Mounds, one of the greatest inland cities of North America.

There are also some excellent places in the southwest with very ancient pueblo ruins, petroglyphs, and so forth.

Humanity was born in Africa. Civilization was born in the Fertile Crescent. It's gone to desert now, but those first cities left deep hoofprints.
OoooOOooh!
