Road Trip

[Tribunus]

We had a long weekend here, so I took another trip out into the desert.

[Tribunus]

The picture (View 1) is up higher on the plateau looking down toward the big, lighter colored boulder where the numbers and the three bodies were found.

[Tribunus]

Well, I found bones alright, just not whale bones.

[Streak]

Now that's what I'd call an exiting little adventure.

[BadAim]

Now THAT is an adventure. I should think that the first thing a desert traveler thinks on finding the bones of another desert traveler might be "But for the grace of God.......". Am I off base?

[Tribunus]

"But for the grace of God.......".

There is a strong sense of that.

[JensenPark]

fascinating Tribunus...

Interesting and creepy.

How much hellenistic influences can be found today Tribunus? Alexandria is supposed to have been quite a beutiful city in its day.

[Tribunus]

Alexandria would have been an amazing place to see back then.

Please do Tribunus, while I mainly study modern history, ancient civilisations are quite fascinating. The dynasty of Ptolemy was quite interesting, especially with the intrigue of Augustus/Octavianus and Marcus Antonius. The libary of Alexandria and the lighthouse is one of those wonders I always wanted to see, but they are both destroyed.
