The greatest stake in the ground statement against the pitiless cruelty of death, B.C.
The GREAT PYRAMID
Ancient Egyptian culture did not serve as a mere distraction to the pitiless cruelty of death. Instead it came to grips with death in an attempt to overcome its tyranny... the pyramids, the glowing underworlds of the tombs, the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts and the various 'Books of the Dead' were the results of government-funded research into the ‘first mystery’- death and the afterlife.

THE PAST sometimes gets a bad rap, especially the ancient past. “Don’t imagine an hour of the past is more important because it’s dead” (Beryl Markham). AND YET...
...the truth is that a past hour can become far richer later when it becomes ‘evaluated experience’. Like the difference between consuming and digesting.
