Eygptian Collection

Well got to see the Eyptian Collection at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It is the largest collection ever shown in the USA. The exhibit closes on Jan. 23rd. So sad :( back to Cairo where it belongs. Here is a little blurb about the attraction:

"Windswept sands along the mighty Nile. Hushed pyramids sheltering forgotten secrets. These are the images that whisper of the ancients, giving life to words like Luxor and Karnak, Ramses and Nefertiti.

In Mysteries of Egypt, viewers are taken back to one of the greatest and most intriguing civilizations of all time. Gaze into the eyes of a sphinx. Learn about the treasures of King Tut. And explore the Valley of the Kings."

WoW! It is so interesting! Did you know that Eygptian culture and Jewish culture are linked. How did the Eygptians build such awesome structures and what knowledge they had and how it was lost all of a sudden. Spent about three hours in the museum. Watched the imax movie about Eygpt starring Omar Sharif. It was not bad for an imax documentary.

Well...today went to church...open door fellowship and mar thoma church. The sermon was given by Cindy at Open Door and it was lousy. The mar thoma church sermon was good. It was about spending more time in prayer and coming together as a Christian community. We need to spend less time being busy and more time doing things that ultimately matter. Papachayan had died so 70% of the church was at the memorial service at the Jacobite church. Next week at mar thoma I need to bring 6 bottles of pop...there's going to be a party in my mouth after church.

Looking forward to tomorrow to hang out with my Russian friends Nikolai and Inna and enjoy some good food at Royal India.
