Looks amazing, wow, what geniuses they were.

Hold on, I had one to many vodkas.

Question: Why would they make a Sphinx statue thingey?

I don't want to hear any out of line reasons either. "The sphinx was created because..." You see what I mean? There is NO good reason, OTHER than "The sphinx was created because they had a good reason for making it."

I'd like to hear a good reason thanks.

They were artistic, plus godly, I am still deciding whether they were human or not.

[davewhite04]

Really? It's all a mystery to me at the minute.

 

[davewhite04]

I've met one who concluded I was horus, which was obviously a load of shit, I wouldn't trust the bastards as far as I can throw them.

 

[davewhite04]

They are gold and money mad, I'm convinced.

 

[draqon]

Dave, are you drunk?

 

[davewhite04]

Hmmm I like a drink, but I would say this sober. Do you know much about these enigmatic people?

I will tell you this:

They are powerful, very powerful:

Why?

Who knows.

But they are the ones in the stars making everyone dance to their tune.

Until the creator wakes up.

 

[davewhite04]

Now you can see the problem I face.

 

[davewhite04]

We'll see what happens to them in the coming weeks.

I'm no expert on the Egyptians, but did they not pioneer organised irrigation, along with reclamation of the desert (along the banks of the Nile)...?
