I see that curiosity in your posts. I get that curiosity about Egypt too. Ancient Egyptians feel somehow alien. It’s like their lineage went full Ozymandias a la Shelly and didn’t really carry forward but instead died out leaving only monuments.

I just finished reading Ozymandias. I like the way you see it. I think that ancient Egypt is much more than just monuments. The looting and theft of its legacy has left us little. Yet it still manages to fascinate us in a way that few cultures have achieved throughout history.

One day I'll finish the reading of the fascinating The Temple in Man: A Treasury of Feasts and Festivals: Sacred Architecture and the Perfect Man, by Schwaller de Lubicz. I had to give up reading for multiple reasons.πŸ₯²

Did you like what you did read?

Yea, a lot. The book it's a very intriguing study. But it was not easy for me. πŸ˜…He(Lubicz)explores the ancient Egyptian culture, relating philosophy, architectural symbolism of temples,cosmology,math and a lot of other things from his years of empirical studies of the Temple of Luxor.

I’m going to check it out.
