Despite the fact that much of what the ancient Egyptians wrote has been lost, there's such a large surviving amount that stuff has gotten missed. For example, King Tut (cue the music) had a major colonnade built at (if memory serves) Karnak temple, but Ramses, in his lifelong quest to take credit for earlier work, had his cartouches carved in over those of Tut. Luckily, the temple used to have a roof and the columns are very tall, and one or more of Tut's cartouches up near the darkness of the ceiling was missed or deliberately skipped and have survived. Ramses II also had at least one colossal head of (if memory serves) one of the Middle Kingdom pharaohs, Sesostris, altered to resemble his own face.
The phrase “Kilroy Was Here” and its accompanying cartoon character gained popularity during World War II as a symbol of American soldiers’ presence. The origin story is debated, but the most common version involves James J. Kilroy, a shipyard inspector who marked completed work in Quincy, Massachusetts, with the phrase. The phrase was then adopted by American soldiers and spread throughout the war theaters.
I think you are right.
The whole concept really blossoms when you check the street view for the "Egyptian Obelisk In Paris" that is the subject of this very article.
🤔🤓🤣
Lol.. Have to keep the image alive ;^)
ID fleurs?

Something about [flowers for] a funeral, running to Egypt for the title deed, the whole bit, The Point:
The Great Pyramid is one of the largest buildings ever constructed. It originally stood about 482 feet (147 meters) tall, but erosion and the removal of most of the polished limestone casing stones—which made the structure smooth and caused it to gleam in the sunlight—have lowered the pyramid’s height to 449 feet (137 meters).
For a good time call 867-5309
All your pyramids are belong to us!
Ramses is a $cumbag!!!!

What were the gods wrathful about ?
Deu 22.6. If a bird's nest chances to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they are young ones, or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young:
כִּי יִקָּרֵא קַן־צִפּוֹר לְפָנֶיךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ בְּכָל־עֵץ אוֹ עַל־הָאָרֶץ אֶפְרֹחִים אוֹ בֵיצִים וְהָאֵם רֹבֶצֶת עַל־הָאֶפְרֹחִים אוֹ עַל־הַבֵּיצִים לֹא־תִקַּח הָאֵם עַל־הַבָּנִים׃
Klein's:
אֶפְרֽוֹחַ, אֶפְרֹֽחַ m.n. young bird, chicken, fledgling. [Related to Syr. פָּרַחֽתָּא (= bird), Arab. farh (= young of a bird), Ethiop. ’afreht (= brood, hatch, young birds). These words possibly derive from פרח ᴵᴵ (= to fly), and lit. mean ‘that which flies’. It is more probable, however, that they are derivatives of פרח ᴵ (= to sprout). For sense development cp. Ger. Sproβ (= sprout, shoot; offspring), and Eng. scion (= sprout; offspring, descendant). The אֶ◌ of אֶפְרֹחַ is prosthetic.]
Strong's #667 sez:
From פָּרַח (H6524) (in the sense of bursting the shell)
A torii [gate] is a bird perch (check the Hebrew page for the makom):
Various tentative etymologies of the word torii exist. According to one of them, the name derives from the term tōri-iru (通り入る, pass through and enter).[4]Another hypothesis takes the name literally: the gate would originally have been some kind of bird perch. This is based on the religious use of bird perches in Asia, such as the Korean sotdae (솟대), which are poles with one or more wooden birds resting on their top.
Compare the double obelisks (here's the street view) at the fountain in Copley Square (due to reopen soon as part of the whole renovation project), conceptually located at address 570 [שער]; i.e. being directly opposite of the... Chick-Fil-A... at 569. Urgent Care is conveniently located right there as well.
Remember those poor "pilots" of Asiana [אסיא נ"ה] "ruach" Flight 214? They were pilots in name only, as they didn't actually know how to fly. Or to perch, to come in for the landing as it were.
Bang Ding Ow.
I believe Amenhotep II about 1448 BC was the Pharaoh Moses dealt with after Thutmose III died.
It translates to “eat at Otep’s Bar and Grill.”
Not a chance.
A crummy commercial?
