hey egypt knowing person, i was curious and couldnt find this on google- what did the ancient egyptians call sarcophagi? cause thas a greek word an im at least 20% sure they didnt speak that until alexander was all great or whatever
Ha yea, you're right about that. The Egyptians had a few different words for sarcophagi/coffins, with qrs.w (approx. "kersu") and Dri.t ("djeryt") being the ones used for stone sarcophagi. They also used wt ("wet" or "ut") for (wooden) coffin, and mn-anx ("men-ankh") for outer coffin and swH.t ("suhet") for inner coffin.

Dokter, priester, towenaar, Niankhra, naca.
Die Egiptiese dokter het groot oorweging geniet selfs buite die grense van Egipte, Homer skryf in die Odyssey "Egiptiese: die voer-produserende land daar produseer baie medisyne, baie goed, en gemeng waarmee baie sterflinge; en almal is 'n dokter, 'n deskundige bo alle mense” (IV, 219-232) en buitelandse heersers het dikwels die farao gevra om hulle na hul howe te stuur. Die Egiptiese term vir dokter is sunu, van die wortel son "om te ly" met die waarskynlike betekenis van "hy wat diegene genees wat ly". Soos in die res van die Egiptiese samelewing, is dokters hiërargies en die beroep was oorerflik. Daar is ur sunu (hoofgeneesheer), kherep sunu (inspekteur van geneeshere), hery sunu (superintendent van dokters), imy-r-sunu (superintendent van dokters), sehedj sunu (inspekteur van dokters). Uiteraard het die koning sy eie persoonlike geneesheer, sunu n nesu, (geneesheer van die koning) gehad en so ook die koningin, ur sunu n per hemet nesu, (hoofgeneesheer van die koningin se huis). Dokters is ook volgens spesialisasie ingedeel: sunu khet (buikdokter), sunu irty (oogdokter), ibeh (tandarts), neru pehuyt (bewaker van die anus). Daar was geen duidelike onderskeid tussen sunu, towenaar (hekau) en priester (zoom-necer nie), so karakters soos Niankhra kon terselfdertyd dokter van die koninklike paleis, inspekteur van dokters en priester van Serquet wees; of as Heryshefnakht, hoofgeneesheer van die koning en imy-r-hekau (superintendent van towenaars). Slegs een vroulike dokter is bekend, Pesheshet, wie se titel imy-r-sunut (superintendent van vroulike dokters) was. Die dokter het sy opleiding ontvang in die per-ankh (huise van die lewe), tempelinstellings wat vir hierdie doel gebruik word. Mediese praktyk was onderhewig aan noukeurige nakoming van die voorskrifte wat in die tekste vervat is. Die dokter wat nie aan die prosedure voldoen het nie en die pasiënt se dood veroorsaak het, kon ten minste tot later tye, miskien is die bekendstelling daarvan te danke aan die leërs van Alexander die Grote uit Asië, die eerste fokus van die siekte. Miskien kan die gebrek aan vondste wees om te wees aan die weiering om te balsem, omdat hulle onsuiwer is. Nie eers die teenwoordigheid van plaag (Yersinia pestis) word met sekerheid gedokumenteer nie, hoewel daar in verskeie tekste verwysings na generiese epidemies is.

Alexander the Great
#foogallery-gallery-3038 .fg-image { width: 150px; } #foogallery-gallery-3038 .fg-image { width: 150px; }
Tameri, "The land of the Maurs."
In this post is a 1657 map of La floridas that is identical to the 1741 map of Carolana that was shared above, since this map of La floridas is identical in size, shape, and location, so we are dealing with the same land and territory here. The interesting thing about the map of La floridas is that it has “Tamerikaans” (Tameri-Khans), written above the plaque of Florida. Tameri is an old name for ancient Egypt, and it means land of Mary (Mauritania) or the land of the Maurs. La Florida or Carolana (Lower Ethiopia/Egypt) used to be part of the Washitaw Proper, aka, Louisiana county, according to old maps from the 1700's, so... yes..., this landmass was indeed, Tameri, "the Maurs land or the land of the Maurs." Look how big La Florida used to be and it covered several states reaching all the way over into Texas and reached all the way up into Canada. Texas and several other states used to be part of Mexico. Mexico was also Southern Arabia. Mexico means "In the Center of the Moon."
Map of Mississippi river found in Burrows, Cave in Illinois
The map of the Mississippi River was found in the Burrows Cave in Illinois, which is also the location of Alexander the Great's Tomb. The Mississippi River is actually a upside down Egyptian Ankh. The Ankh is a free energy symbol of wisdom and everlasting life. The Mississipp River is a river of LIFE, so it being in the shape of an Egyptian Ankh makes sense.
Map of Alexander the great tomb
Map of the Land of the Eagle and Alexander the Great's tomb, which shows you the Nile as the Mississippi River. The map shows you Egypt (Tameri) and Morocco in America. The map lists Alexander the Great's tomb in Illinois.
Map of Alexandria, Egypt
Map of Alexandria in North America. This was the real Alexandria Egypt, since America is Tameri (old Egypt) and since Alexander the Great's tomb was found in Illinois, which is near little Egypt
Aristotle and Alexander the great
Great Greek Philosopher Aristote to the right depicted as swarthy. Alexander the Great is to the left of the image and look at the dark spots on his arm and neck, which indicates that his image was the same complexion as Aristote once.
Alexander the Great from the Byzantine Greek Manuscript
This painting of Alexander the Great is from the Byzantine Greek Manuscript. Alexander is the swarthy image on horseback that is wearing gold and red clothing with the Phoenician Mayan Taw (X) on his crest. Yes, Alexander the Great was one of the X-men from the House of Andrew
Alexander the Great and his wife
This is a poorly whitewashed painting of Alexander the Great and his wife since you can determine due to the dark spots on the images that everyone in this image was once swarthy. Look at the dark spots on the hand and arm of Alexander the Great. Look at the dark spots on the neck of his wife. Also, the hair texture is that of a Negro/Naga.
The marriage of Alexander the Great
This painting is entitled, "The Marriage of Alexander the Great." This is a poorly whitewashed image since you can determine due to the dark spots on the images that everyone in this image was once very swarthy.
Bust of Alexander the Great
Bust of Alexander the Great with Negro/Naga features
Alexander the Great Mosiac Art.
This painting of Alexander the Great is from the "Alexander the Great Mosiac." This painting has been poorly whitewashed since Alexander and one of his soldiers behind him were both lightened. You can determine this by looking at the dark spots in their faces and arms. Alexander's face is still swarthy and the soldier behind him face, and arm is still swarthy
The son of the Dragon
Alexander the Great's mother sleeping with a dragon.
Alexander the great meets Wildman
Alexander the Great was a Maur
Alexander the Great Byzantine Art
Alexander the Great is significant in history since he helped to shape the future of the Silk Road and he was King of Egypt, Persia, and etc: https://depts.washington.edu/silkroad/exhibit/macedonians/essay.html. Alexander the great is from America since Afghanistan, Tameri (old Egypt), and the Silk Road is in the Americas: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/ancient-afghanistan-was-in-missouri/.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S TOMB WAS FOUND IN ILLINOIS:
Alexander’s the great tomb was found in Marion County Illinois. This cave is the famous Burrows cave that was written off as a hoax since Egyptian, Sumerian, and Assyrian artifacts were found in this cave that would have rewritten history: https://vimeo.com/channels/illinoiscaves/videos.
Most Maurs hate Alexander the Great since he is recorded in History (His-story) as being a conqueror of Egypt, and since he was used by Western Academia as a tool for white supremacy since they whitewashed his image and made him appear like a great white Greek conqueror of a Blackamoor civilization known as Egypt. Yes, Alexander the Great was a swarthy Saracen Maur from the House of Andrew and his real name was Megas Alex Andros: https://rb.gy/9lzczt.
Alexander the Great and his army of over 30,000 men feed on Alfalfa, which is a purple flowering plant with deep tap roots that is indigenous mostly to North America. Alfalfa is of Arabic origin (al-fiṣfiṣa) and it means the father of food: “What did Alexander the Great’s Army Eat in order to have Energy and Strength?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpQ3zwd9iQc&t=17s. The elderly white women who made the said YouTube video purposely shows you all the whitewashed images of Alexander the Great, so please take notice of brown hands, legs, and dark spots on white images. In this post are even more poorly whitewashed images of Alexander the Great.
Who were these Great Greeks that allegedly brought civilization to the Western World? Where they Blackamoors? Was Greece a sister civilization of Egypt? Did the Greek gods come from Egypt? These links will answer all of these questions: https://rb.gy/gf1trm.
Hermes, aka, Thoth, the Ram bearer, is the origin of all Western thought (Thoth) and he is depicted as a Blackamoor, and so was Zeus, Apollo, Hercules, Athena, and etc: https://rb.gy/1kmbf8.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT LIBERATED ANCIENT EGYPT FROM CREATED MONSTERS:
Was Alexander really a conqueror of Egypt or a liberator of Egypt? He was a liberator since he was the son of Pharoah Nectanebo and hence, accepted as a son of Amen-Ra and given the golden Ram Horns of Amun by the Egyptian high-priests after he delivered Egypt from Alchemical experiments (Hybrid beings) that were created from light alchemy that took over Egypt. These Hybrid beings were wildmen, aka, Troglodytes (hairy men), Cynocephali (dog-headed men), Blemmyes (head-less men), etc. These Hybrid beings are native to Africa because they were created in Africa in Egypt as Alchemical experiments of light, and can be found on plenty of old maps, so yes…. these hybrids beings were very real.
This image is entitled, “Alexander the Great encounters wildman.” Yes, Alexander the great was a Maur. His real name was Megas Alex Andros and he was from the House of Man. Even the House of Andrews, aka, the House of man, were Moors. Meet Lady Andros: https://jesseben.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/lady-andros-mother-of-man/.
Was this Wildman real? Yes, the wood nose, aka, Wildman, was very real (Google Wildmen vs Moors Tapestry for more evidence on this). “Homo sapiens was not the only species of human named and recognized by Linnaeus when publishing Systema Naturae, his revolutionary binomial system of zoological classification, in 1735. Among several others was Homo ferus, the wild man, which according to Linnaeus was covered in hair, moved on all fours, was mute, and lived apart from H. sapiens in forests, hills, and mountains. Today, none of Linnaeus’s ‘other’ species of human is recognized by mainstream science.” http://karlshuker.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html.
Here is an ancient map of the “Mappa Mundi” and this map shows some of the hybrid experiments that the High priests of Anu created to not only serve us, but to also go to war against each other: https://www.themappamundi.co.uk/mappa-mundi/.
Click color enhanced and the map will appear. You will see Jerusalem, Rome, Greece, Tower of Babel, Garden of Eden, and the camp of Alexander the Great. You will also see the land that we gave to monsters like Troglodytes (wildmen), Cynocephali, and Blemmyes. We named the land that we gave them after them, and you can see those places if you click on the mappa Mundi map link above.
It was the Renegade Priest Osarseph that created the Tamahu (created white person) 6000 years go in Egypt. “Yacob the big-headed Scientist,” of the Nation of Islam is a metaphor. If you look at the map that I gave you above, you will see places like Troglodites, Blemmyes, Cynocephali (werewolves), and Sciapods. We created all of these monsters using light Alchemy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WY_aOZJ3Qs.
The Egyptians created dogs, cats, and several other animals through gene splicing. The Egyptians were masters of alchemy and they used their pyramids as electromagnetic generators to create life through light (sound). The word pyramid means fire in the middle. Over 70 million animal mummies were found in 30 sites across Egypt: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-32685945. Why so many animal mummies? Well, the only logical explanation is that the Egyptians were into creating beings from light alchemy in order to create a better version of themselves and other beings. The result was the Magna Opus, aka, the Great work, which is to create a perfect life form to serve a purpose on earth for the benefit of life in general. However, this practice became corrupted and got out of control.
You know how long and how hard it was for the Egyptians to take a base metal product, the serpent, to create the golden cat? It probably took years to perfect the cat, considering how elegant and how graceful the cat is. Therefore, to prevent the loss of DNA from the animal that took so long to create, the High priest would mummify the remains of that animal, so that it can be resurrected/cloned in the future. This was the priest’s way of saving their Great Work. The cat has slanted and dilated eyes just like a serpent does and it hisses like a serpent does. Plus, it has a tail just like a serpent, so you can see that the cat was molded from the serpent.
Also, check out Catherine Acholonu’s CSPAN discussion about her new book: “They Lived Before Adam”. She states that her and her research team translated cuneiform/hieroglyphic typewriter from the Nsude Pyramids in Abaja, Northern Igbo land that gives details about an Ancient African civilization/empire that experimented in creating hybrid beings. “Our greatest problem is that we created another man to serve us.” ~ The Egyptians. (This is coming from the book, Hermetica, by Walter Scott).
Alexander the Great went From Tameri (old Egypt), aka, Greater Egypt or Ethiopia Superior, in the Americas to Egypt (Alkhemet) in Africa to free that Egypt from Hybrid beings that took over Alkhemet and was rewarded as the son of Amun-Ra for doing so. The Egyptian Priest didn’t just reward the golden ram horns of Amun, as displayed on Pharoah Seti I, unless the recipient is worthy and one of their own kings: https://rb.gy/exouzd.
Yes, Ancient Greece and Rome was first in the Americas before we built their duplicates in Europe that eventually got corrupted, this evidence further proves the Alexander the Great was from the Americas: https://www.americaistheoldworld.com/ancient-greece-and-ancient-rome-was-in-old-world-america/.
ALEXANDER THE GREAT, THE DRAGON-KING:
Alexander the Great was a Dragon-king, since he was the son of the swarthy Egyptian sorcerer and exiled pharaoh, Nectanebo, who disguised himself as a dragon to impregnated Alexander’s swarthy mother Queen Olympias of Macedonian (see post image):
“The image above depicts the Macedonian queen Olympias in bed with the Egyptian sorcerer and exiled pharaoh, Nectanebo, disguised as a dragon. Meanwhile, Olympias’s husband, King Philip, peers through a small window in the door to spy on the scene. According to the story, Nectanebo used astrology to convince the queen that a god would appear to her in the form of a dragon and she would bear his son. Nectanebo then transforms himself into a dragon, tricking Olympias into thinking that he is the prophesied god. The dragon seems to smile triumphantly at King Philip, wrapping its arms around Olympias in a possessive manner. Interestingly, the dragon does not conceal or hide Olympias from the eyes of the viewer or King Philip. The audience is thus placed in the position of King Philip, able to observe the scene through a small window, but powerless to intervene. The image brings into question the significance of private female spaces and adulterous queens. As the act depicted here marks the conception of Alexander the Great, it also serves as evidence of Alexander’s extraordinary origins and suggests a potential rationale for his immense success as a warrior and ruler.
The picture above is included in a book entitled the History of Alexander the Great (Les faize d’Alexandre). This particular version is Vasco da Lucena’s French translation of Quintus Curtius Rufus’s Latin text, Historiae Alexandri Magni, dating to the first century CE. Lucena was a scholar and diplomat who served in the Portuguese and Burgundian courts. He translated the account of Alexander at the behest of Isabella of Portugal and dedicated the book to the future duke, Charles the Bold. Lucena intentionally used this account rather than the widely circulating medieval Alexander romances because he considered Rufus’s version to be the most historically accurate and suitable for educating a young ruler.” [End quote from: http://inpress.lib.uiowa.edu/Feminae/DetailsPage.aspx?Feminae_ID=43156.].
Why did Alexander the Great want everyone to know that he was born from a dragon? Well, he wanted to establish himself as a legitimate Messiah or Christ-king (Dragon-king), since all of the sons of god and avatars (great souls) are born from the dragon (the Draco constellation when its star Theban was the Pole Star or North Star), which used to be a symbol of free energy (wisdom and everlasting life) and mighty kingship. We are all symbolically born from the dragon, since the rainbow serpent or dragon is the creator God, according to indigenous legends all over the world: https://rb.gy/xtekwq.

12 Days of Buddymas - Day 7 Favorite Character(s)
Kiri Hyoryu of course~💧
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Subaru Hoshiyomi as well 🌟
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They've both been my absolute favorites since I started the series! (Fun Fact - I started Ace & the OG on the same day by accident. I had gotten up to ep 3 of ace before it hit me that I was watching the series out of order and was going to spoil myself if I continued like that so I switched to the OG and bada bing bada boom I had acquired 2 new favs in the span of a few hours).
I'd like to think that I'd get along with them if we ever met?! If anything we could all bond over our love for buddyfight and mayhaps even have a quiet hangout in a library or cafe owo

My Time Cat Theory
Since we finally have some proper pics for Wizards nows a good as time as any to drop my time cat theory. I thought about making a youtube video about it but since I don’t really have much to say it works better as a post lol.
So Time Cat is a book written by Lloyd Alexander in 1963 and I read it when I was like 10 because the cover was cool. The premise is basically that cats can travel to any point in their 9 lives and bring a human friend with them. Their 9 lives are actually reincarnations across time and so we get to see cool places in history. The cat in time cat is nicely illustrated on the cover and is notably a black cat with a white ankh on his chest and white cat eyebrows. Not unlike a certain familiar we meet in 3below. (I know he doesn't have an ankh but roll with me here) Literally the moment he came on screen I was taken back in time to 10 year old me reading time cat.
Tumblr media
Now that we have these probably time travel screenshots from Wizards my theory is this: Douxie has traveled through time with said familiar in a way similar to what we see in time cat; and it was him who helped make the amulet all those years ago.
“But Swift this is a really random ass book what connection does it even have to trolls and stuff?”
Well Lloyd Alexander did also write the Black Cauldron and other fantasy novels that I haven’t personally read but might feature trolls. And he has written stories about wizards in particular, but like I said, I haven’t read those. And these stories usually are set very specifically in a celtic/gaelic type of location, which does also call back to Douxie’s accent. 
Mostly this is just an interesting thought that struck me.

6, 16, 17 for the book asks?
6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?
Hmm. I did mean to read The Iliad this year but I didn't manage to get into it. I've finally managed to get the Caroline Alexander translation though, so that might be a bit more accessible!
16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?
Sorry for praising him in my last answer and then dissing him but I read Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett, on the recommendation of several friends, which I really struggled with and didn't enjoy. I like the Ankh Morpork based Discworld novels much more!
17. Did any books surprise you with how good they are?
Yes! Honestly the whole Expanse series far exceeded my expectations and remains one of my fave scifi series. Also Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames really surprised me. I bought them as pulp fiction but then really really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot. The author uses a lot of foreshadowing and nonlinear time sequencing in their description of fights which I really enjoyed.
Send me book asks please!

Now available for order from our partners at Indie Press Revolution: Beckett’s Jyhad Diary Deluxe Edition!
It’s ever been a loaded word among vampires. Jyhad is in force everywhere from lofty, perfumed Elysium to cloying, smoke-filled blood feasts. Jyhad’s the eternal game played by elders, Methuselahs, and worse — it’s the agenda of beings so utterly beyond humanity, one such as yourself could scarcely understand its movements. 
Luckily for you, you’ve picked up a copy of my diary. With my help you may just take a step on the first rung of understanding. Information worth having is information you must earn through blood, and oh, how I’ve bled for what’s contained within these pages. 
— Beckett 
Beckett’s Jyhad Diary serves as the definitive book of setting and plot for Vampire: The Masquerade, containing 30 chapters spanning different geographical regions, encountering vampires of every clan, profiling obscure and profound segments of the mythology, and providing countless story hooks on every page. 
Masterfully written by the likes of Neall Raemonn Price, Joshua Alan Doetsch, Myranda Sarro, Steffie de Vaan, Malcolm Sheppard, Alan Alexander, Renee Knipe, and Matthew Dawkins, Beckett’s Jyhad Diary is as fascinating to read as to use for your game Chronicles.
Also available for V20: Beckett’s Jyhad Diary V20 Storyteller’s Screen and Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition Dice! The screen is a sturdy three-panel foldout with pertinent charts and quick-reference information for V20 games. The dice are, made by Q Worshop, are elegant grey-and-black featuring the numbers 1 through 9 in the familiar Vampire title font, and the V20 ankh taking the place of the 10, surrounded by thorned rose vines.
Also available: Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Edition!
Judge us not by our seemings for we are never what we appear. Come hither, changelings and join the dream-dance, lest the winter come and the Dreaming pass into memory.
Recall your heritage! Let the games begin!
Twenty years ago, White Wolf published Changeling: the Dreaming, the fifth of their promised five game-lines that together comprised the World of Darkness. Seen by some as a lighter, more fantasy-based setting in the modern-day, and by others as the darkest game White Wolfhad yet created, players had to face the question of what happens once creativity and magic fades from their world.
This 20th Anniversary Edition of Changeling: the Dreaming returns to that deceptively bright yet terrifying world and both compiles and completes the concepts of the previous two editions. Led by veteran White Wolf and Onyx Path developer “Blackhat” Matt McFarland, our writing team consists of longtime Changeling creators like Ian Lemke, Jackie Cassada, Nicky Rea, and Peter Woodworth, as well as familiar names such as Holden Shearer, John Snead, Maggie Carrol, Matthew Dawkins, and Krister Michl. One and all are dedicated to making Changeling: the Dreaming Twentieth Anniversary Edition the most playable edition yet – while not losing the wonder, awe, and majesty that Changeling is known for.
A revised and up to date look at the World of Darkness through the eyes of the Kithain – what has happened to the Dreaming in the last 20 years, and what is the state of Glamour and dreams?
Rules for all of the kiths including in 2nd ed, plus fan favorites from other books: selkies, piskies, clurichaun, and both Arcadian and Concordian sidhe.
Rules for the Gallain: The inanimae, the hsien, the Nunnehi, and others!
An overhauled and reimagined system for fae magic, including new Arts and the powerful but dangerous practice of Unleashing!
New full-color beautiful artwork as well as classic Changeling illustrations including remastered full page pieces of the kiths by Tony Diterlizzi.
Also available for Changeling: Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition Storyteller’s Screen and Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition Dice! Like the screen above, this is a sturdy three-panel foldout with useful reference information for Changeling Storytellers. The Q Workshop dice display the numbers 1 through 9 (with the signature Changeling luna moth on the 0 face) placed in a stained glass motif.
For more about our partnership with IPR, please see Rich’s recent Monday Meeting Notes.

Ancient Egypt Tour - The Tour To Watch Out For!
The history of Egypt goes back to more than 10000 years with ancient fossils proving this fact.
King Menes founded the first United Kingdom established in Egypt in the 31st century BC. Menes also founded the 1st dynasty of the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt.
A period that is famous for building the marvelous pyramids that today attract thousands of travelers to tour Egypt to view the greatness of the constructions of the Pharaohs.
The Pharaohs ruled over Egypt for 27 centuries. With some intermediate periods, as historians prefer to call them, the ancient Egyptians were able to create a civilization that is unique in its sciences, achievements, and architecture.
When Alexander the great had died in the 4th century BC, after he conquered Egypt, the country became a Ptolemaic kingdom that lasted for more than 3 centuries before the Romans took control of Egypt.
In the 7th century AD, the Museums coming from the Arabian Peninsula took control of Egypt.
Many Moslem dynasties including the Fatimids, the Ayyubids, the Mamluks, the Ottomans and the royal family of Mohamed Ali governed Egypt until the revolution of 1952 that declared Egypt as a republic with the first president being Mohamed Naguib.
Today thousands of tourists travel to Egypt every year. The most important touristic destinations in Egypt would definitely include Cairo, the capital, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and the oases of the Western Desert.
In Cairo, the tourists, spending their holidays in Egypt, would surly visit the pyramids of Giza, the most popular monument in the world. Cairo has a lot to offer to travelers who tour Egypt. There is the also the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities displaying hundreds of marvelous exhibits including the treasures of Tut Ankh Amun. Other places of interest in Cairo include the Saladin Citadel, the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, Memphis, and Khan El Khalili touristic market. This is besides a large number of museums, historical mosques, and churches.
Many travelers who go on trips to Egypt Jordan and Israel tours have started during the past decade to prefer including a Nile Cruise journey between Luxor and Aswan to their travel package in Egypt. These ships are deluxe, offer the highest standards of services and facilities and provide the guests with an inclusive visits' program. The most important attractions in Luxor include the Temple of Karnak, the Temple of Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, and many other remarkable historical sites. In Aswan, the visitors who enjoy their holidays in Egypt would explore the High Dam, the Temple of Philae, and the Unfinished Obelisk.
Away from historical sites, travelers who plan to enjoy a vacation in Egypt may prefer the marvelous beaches of the Red Sea. Cities like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada are popular resorts with amazing beaches and unmatched opportunities for diving and snorkeling in the rich underwater environment of the Red Sea. In the afternoon and late at night, these two destinations offer the tourists who are on holidays in Egypt with a huge variety of places to visit and activities to do. This includes restaurants, shops, nightclubs, discos, and many other options.
The Egyptian oases of the Western Desert began attracting many people from all over the globe to go on trips to Egypt. With attractions like the White Desert, the Black Desert, many natural water springs, and the Crystal Mountains, the Western Desert of Egypt welcomes numerous travelers who tour Egypt. Historical monuments of the Western Desert include the Valley of the Mummies, the Temple of the Oracle of Amun, and the Temple of Hibis.
Another interesting destination in Egypt is surly Alexandria. This city established by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC is a destination of unique magic. The attractions of Alexandria include the Qaitbay Fort, the Roman Amphitheatre, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, the Greco-Roman Museum, and the Montazah complex of gardens.

Can u recommand some good books pls?
I DEFINITELY CAN! 
(I’ve divided them up into categories, and included a short summary of each, so that you can choose more easily, and put the list under a cut, since it’s fairly long.)
Comedic Fantasy With Emotional Center
Small Gods by Terry Pratchett (part of the Discworld series; everything in the Discworld series is excellent. main characters of this one are a god stuck in the form of a tortoise and his last believer.)
Hogfather by Terry Pratchett (Discworld. Death has to take over the duties of discworld’s version of Santa Claus in an attempt to keep the world from ending.)
Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett (Discworld. Death gets fired and decides to live as a human—as near to human as he can, at any rate. eventually he has to battle the New Death to save the discworld.)
Guards, Guards! by Terry Pratchett (Discworld. Sam Vimes, leader of the disgraced and dying Ankh-Morpork City Watch, regains his self-respect and his interest in life as he works to solve a mystery of who is summoning a dragon and killing off citizens of his city.)
The Bromeliad by Terry Pratchett (small ‘nomes’ live secretly in this world, hiding from humans. the perpetually out-of-his-depth and put-upon nome Masklin finds himself in charge, tasked with leading them to safety and finding their way home.)
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (an angel and a demon tasked with seeing that apocalypse happens as scheduled decide to try to avert it instead. completely and utterly fantastic.)
Long Dark Teatime of the Soul by Douglas Adams (murder mystery involving Norse Gods, record contracts, and the Ultimate Bubble Bath.)
The Thirteen Clocks by James Thurber (novella told like a fairy tale, full of wordplay and beauty and fun. this one just absolutely shines.)
The Gates by John Connolly (young boy, his dog, and an extremely minor demon try to stop the end of the world.)
The Infernals by John Connolly (sequel to The Gates, featuring the same characters.)
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (a young lady is cursed to be old, decides to become cleaning lady for a wizard rumored to be dangerous but actually just vain, overdramatic, and irresponsible. so very fun and romantic.)
Farmer Giles of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien (a local peasant finds himself unwillingly roped into facing a marauding dragon.)
Comedy
All of the P.G. Wodehouse books, particularly the Jeeves and Wooster series (wonderfully fun and lighthearted comedy set vaguely between the edwardian era and the 1920’s. Rich, cheerful, and kindhearted Bertie Wooster has a habit of accidentally getting engaged to girls he has no desire whatsoever to marry; his clever valet Jeeves gets him out of trouble every time.)
With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed by Lynne Truss (hilarious and surprisingly touching at the end. lots and lots shenanigans. really fun.)
Romantic Comedy
Cotillion by Georgette Heyer (romantic comedy, fake relationship, regency era.)
When a Man Marries by Mary Roberts Rhinehouse (romantic comedy with a stolen jewels mystery plot. cast of characters stuck in a house together.)
Romance
These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer (historical romance with intrigue and comedy. The main character crossdresses and, to me, reads as genderqueer. The love interest is basically a villain who accidentally becomes the hero. I LOVE IT.)
Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan (regency romance novella. hero is bisexual. subplot about bicycles being scandalous. this is the one that I have Roxanne give Megamind in Code: Safeword.)
The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan (regency romance, the last in the Brothers Sinister series, all of which are good. main character reads as autistic. her love interest is younger than she is; they’ve secretly presented her groundbreaking scientific work as his, so that people will take it seriously.)
When a Scott Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare (regency romance; main character has social anxiety and made up a fiancee years ago to get out of her impending social season. but now a man with the same name has shown up claiming to be this fiancee, and intending to marry her.)
Mystery
Behold, Here’s Poison by Georgette Heyer (1920’s murder mystery with comedy and romance. The characters are wonderful.)
Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie (murder mystery featuring elderly heroine Miss Marple, who seems fluffy and harmless but is really a sneaky, nosy, and terribly sharp woman. I love her.)
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie (murder mystery featuring detective Hercule Poirot. intricate and enjoyable.)
Death Comes As the End by Agatha Christie (murder mystery set in ancient egypt. both the mystery and the historical features are extremely well executed.)
Difficult to Categorize
Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story by Leonie Swann (A group of sheep decide to solve the mystery of who killed their shepherd. Funny and moving. The point of view is amazingly well done.)
Watership Down by Richard Adams (A group of rabbits set out on a journey to establish a new home. The worldbuilding and characterization are fantastic.)
Kiln People by David Brin (science fiction mystery. amazing worldbuilding. One of the main characters is a robot who, due to a slight malfunction, has developed a personality and will of his own.)
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion (A love story set during the zombie apocalypse, between a young woman named Julie and a zombie known as R, who isn’t quite as dead as zombies are supposed to be. Horrifying and romantic and uplifting.)
Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving by Martin Millar (Main character Elfish is basically the living embodiment of ‘fuck you’. She’s a guitarist on a mission to claim the name Queen Mab for her—just at present nonexistent—band from her ex-boyfriend Mo.)
Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt (a young woman in the medieval era gets lost in the forest and nearly dies. When she meets Death, though, she convinces him to postpone her demise—she claims that love is stronger than death, and he tells her that if she can prove it by finding her true love within one day, he will spare her life. Full of joy and sorrow and love.)
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury (A group of children go on a fantastic trip through time with a mysterious man called Moundshroud in an attempt to save the life of one of their friends. Fun and dark and beautiful.)
The Girl Who Owned a City by O.T. Nelson (An epidemic wipes out all of the adults in the world. Ten year old Lisa Nelson bands together a group of survivors and shapes them into a new society, with her at its head. Satisfying.)
Fantasy
The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley (Gorgeous worldbuilding, kidnapping, romance, magic, and adventure.)
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle (The last of the Unicorns goes on a quest to find out what happened to the rest of her species. Fun and frightening and hauntingly beautiful.)
Transformation by Carol Berg (The Emperor’s New Groove for grown-ups. Formerly a magician and currently a slave, Seyonne finds new meaning in his life when he and careless, proud Prince Aleksander work together to defeat the demonic forces that threaten the kingdom. Slavery and freedom, loyalty and friendship. Intricate worldbuilding.)
War For the Oaks by Emma Bull (Urban fantasy. Eddie has just broken up with her boyfriend, and, in the process, broken up the band they both played in. She has enough problems of her own, without getting dragged into a war between the Seelie and Unseelie courts of the Fae.)
Young Adult Fantasy
So You Want to Be a Wizard by Diane Duane (Young adult fantasy adventure. Preteen protagonists Kit and Nita journey into a terrifying shadow world to fight a dark entity. One of my favorite depictions of magic of all time.)
Which Witch by Eva Ibbotson (The Great Evil Wizard Arriman has decided to take a bride! The members of the local witches’ coven are invited to a contest—whichever witch performs the most dark and wicked act of black magic will be Arriman’s bride. The young witch Belladonna is absolutely smitten with Arriman, and desperately wants to win the contest. The only problem is that Belladonna is a white witch.)
Megamind: the Novel by Lauren Alexander (A little darker and a bit more grown-up than the movie; still incredibly fun. It features additional scenes from Megamind and Roxanne’s developing romantic relationship.)
Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde (Teenage Kerry is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and ends up being taken captive by a group of people who are holding another person captive as well—a young man they insist is a vampire. Kerry thinks they’re crazy, and helps the boy escape…but it turns out they were actually right. And now she’s being held captive by a vampire on the run.)
Young Adult
Fat Kid Rules the World by K.L. Going (Depressed teenage protagonist Troy almost commits suicide, but is stopped by a homeless teenager named Curt, who is also a local punk rock legend. Curt convinces Troy to form a punk band with him, featuring Curt on guitar and Troy on drums…even though Troy can’t actually play the drums. funny and angry and deeply moving.)
The Undertaker’s Gone Bananas by Paul Zindel (Thriller. The misfit teenage protagonists are convinced that their neighbor murdered his wife, even though no one believes them. They set out to prove it.)
Older Children
The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Bernard (Recently orphaned, the disagreeable young Mary arrives at her uncle’s house—a house full of secrets and mysteries.)
A Little Princess by Francis Hodgson Bernard (Young, precocious, and strange Sara Crewe is sent to boarding school. When her father dies unexpectedly, leaving Sara a penniless orphan, the Headmistress forces Sara to work as a servant. Strength in adversity, the power of imagination, and an eventual happy ending.)
The Egypt Game by Zilpha Neatly Snyder (A group of children secretly play at being ancient Egyptians in a deserted lot. This one really captures the dangerous, wild, and intense feeling of childhood.)
Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix (adventure with young girl as heroine. genuinely creepy and exciting and so clever. my great-grandmother loved this one, too.)
The Witches by Roald Dahl (Young boy and his grandmother happen upon a convention of terrifying, evil witches.)
The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischmann (Spoiled Prince Brat and his whipping boy Jemmy run away together, much to Jemmy’s annoyance. Adventure and friendship.)
Trapped In Death Cave by Bill Wallace (An adventure story with a secret map, a hidden cave, and an evil plot.)
