Life Is Good

I'm in Alexandria Egypt right now. Our hotel is in the bazaar market. I absolutely love haggeling. Talked a guy in to giving me an ounce and a half silver tone shot glass and beer opener for 3 bucks 15 Egyptian pounds. Down from 65. They're smart though they always sweeten the deal by adding in other trinkets.

Prayer at 3 in the morning over the PA system can suck a big one, though.

Enslave the women and children.

Hunting mummies in Giza. I gave light hair, skin and blue eyes. EVERYONE is stopping to look. Not to mention there are two cute short Chinese girls (sisters) staying with us. You should have seen their faces when they lit up smokes in the sheesha bar. And puffed out their hair when I had a picture taken with one by the mediteranian sea. Complete boner moment for them.

How the fuck did you give them light skin, hair, and blue eyes?

Canadiaids.

You do realize that the pharohs of egypt after 325 bce were of greek nationality? Ptolemy was placed in charge of that area by Alexander the Great, and married a local to secure his position after Alexander died. After a few generations, inbreeding became the norm. So, from then on until Cleopatra the 7th (the famous one), the rulers of Egypt were Greek looking. Have you seen coinage from Cleopatra and Marc Antony? She is not a pretty lady. Her nose could stab a man.

How could that not effect the population base of the rich nobles (the ones who could actually afford to be mummified?) also, let's not count out the Roman Empire's influence.

This is all from memory. Squee.

Wasn't she also super young when she was banging Marc Anthony, like 13 - 14?

*edit* nope I was wrong.

Really, such common knowledge is beneath TNL.
