EGYPT by "Celeste"

I have already 1 week here.., and my happiness is telling me "she" wants to freeze time and shine a bit more inside me.., discovering what is this thing that makes her so true..

EGYPT!.., one of the most visited countries in the world.., and a "MUST" for those who love turism, culture and history..

The political and cultural center that leads the Middle East.., the most populous country in Africa (after Nigeria of course).., the country that has in its territory the Giza Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, the Tomb of Tutankhamun, the Valley of the Kings, the longest river in the world, The Nile River.., impressive monuments and ancient history..

Maybe nowadays, Egypt is a top destination just because is "Egypt".., but, for those who do know.., this place is attractive for being one of the most overwhelming and one of the first civilizations in the history of humanity that still holds some unsolved questions..

Besides that.., for me at least, is one of the countries that sadly represents the human fight for power.., that human desire for owning tangible things that give wealth, "status" and power...
As you know, the Nile Valley has generated fights since at least the Paleolithic era! and Egypt was owned for several "kingdoms", since the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, until the Frenchs and Britains.., passing through the Muslim Arabs and the Ottoman Turks, as a really brief example of a history of Wars for Power..
And even since Egyptian Republic was declared in 1953, the efforts for taking down the goverment continued, and the Suez Canal and the Sinai have been reasons of war with France, United Kingdom and Israel, bringing death and barriers for development.

A place where the calls for praying are heard 5 times a day cause it is one of the Pillars of Islam.., a country 90% muslim where they all know it means 'submission to God'.., and this meaning changes everything for us, skeptic ones, but shapes everything for them..
A place where extreme Islamic Fundamentalism exists, but at the same time, a country that is evolving and fighting against it, even if it has brought some attacks to the major source of income: Turism..

... Suddenly...
I look at myself standing up inside a culture demonstration that, even if totally different, teaches me again that..:

A human being is not made by his religion, his belongings or the longest river, cause we are all just a wonderful second in the universe with a brain, senses, dreams and fears..

And I see again.. that concepts are only concepts.., and people feelings are the same in every spot you happen to be..
