... all human beings are entitled to. We ALL have a responsibility in making sure that those that we entrust to govern, stay focused on serving the NEEDS of their countries and citizenry. The abdication of that responsibility in large part has brought the world to where it is today. The people of Egypt have reminded us all that when people come together united behind a single, common cause; there is no force that can stop their will from changing the direction of events that they are displeased with. Focusing here on America...there is presently a lot to be displeased about ... The recent events in Egypt, Libya and other parts of the Arab world, are reminders to people everywhere in the world that "The Power Is Always With The People"! Government is an institution that exists for the purpose of serving and safeguarding the rights and interests of its citizens / society. Far too often those who govern are more attuned to their own interests along with the Special Interests groups that they represent. People the world over have allowed the Autocrats, Dictators, Power Brokers, and Career Politicians hijack the future and many of the God given rights that all human beings are entitled to. We ...

A succession of weak kings, a warlike people driven by economic factors to migrate, a settled brotherhood within Egypt willing to assist and an Egypt that was basically unprepared for a foreign world. Its previous geographic isolation left it physiologically unprepared to deal with an invasion force that could cross these previously unassailable natural barriers. Internally Egypt was no longer safe, fortresses were created to protect the people and their valuables, the kings were not in control of the land. Egypt had lost its foreign power, reputation ...

The Dendera Complex, which is the best preserved in Egypt, sprawls over 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a mud brick wall. The complex is associated with pharaoh Pepi I, as well as Nectanebo II, the last of the native pharaohs. Stone reliefs, relics, and structures provide a fascinating glimpse inside pharaonic legacies.

There are wall reliefs which tell of the people and objects contained ... understanding - and appreciation - of this incomparable land.
