After two decades, the Grand Egyptian Museum will open this summer near the Giza’s pyramids. The museum will span over 120 acres and showcase over 100,000 artifacts, including Tutankhamun’s treasures. It will dwarf the Louvre, the MET, and British Museum in size.

The Wild Hunt · The Grand Egyptian Museum is about to Open and Will Dwarf the Louvre, the MET and British Museum in sizeBy Manny Moreno
[Sukha's Brewtrail Logbook]

... Once, in Egypt, I lay beneath the feet of a Sphinx. I thought that its body was all that remained of a proud empire, and I whispered a prayer for the soul of such a magnificent creature to find peace.

But I was wrong. It was not a lifeless stone body, but a long slumber after losing a battle of wits.

I asked more questions, but the time for riddles had long passed, leaving only echoes trapped within the grains of sand, colliding with each other under the merciless breath of the warm wind of the necropolis.
