It look like a cross between Hieronymus Bosch and a Betty Boop cartoon.

I was fortunate to visit there about 30 years ago. Heck, we were able to walk on a couple of the pyramids.

Oh yea, I remember now. I brought campylobactor with me. I had the excruciating $hits for about 5 days before I went to the Dr for diagnosis. Now, I carry antibiotics in my shower kit.
