My You Have Interesting Enemies.

Donald Trump was second, first was Ronald Reagan. And actually, they have some company, just no one who has been particularly successful at it. Politicians from the left demonize the will of the people as contrary to democracy. Thanks GOPJ.

There was a years-long dry spell on this channel, which I'd never heard of before today. The first of their videos is about ancient Egyptian cat jokes. They're in a May-December romance. Also they have some books out, and wouldn't you know, they're available cheap, tempting 'Civ.

0:00	·	This is the ancient caravan route
0:02	·	running east from the ancient city of
0:05	·	Nahb over here all the way to points
0:09	·	interconnecting with the Red Sea. Behind
0:12	·	me is what is called in modern times
0:14	·	Vulture Rock. It is covered with
0:17	·	hundreds of rock inscriptions, including
0:20	·	several that indicate the location of a
0:23	·	lost temple.
0:25	·	Like most rock inscription sites, here
0:27	·	we see inscriptions and art of multiple
0:30	·	dates, including pre-dynastic boats and
0:34	·	animals and then hieroglyphic
0:36	·	inscriptions of the feronic period,
0:39	·	especially those dating to the late old
0:42	·	kingdom. And some of these even tell us
0:46	·	where we are.
0:48	·	The courtier and inspector of priests,
0:50	·	EIE, son of the courtier and inspector
0:54	·	of priests, Behenni. He says, "I am a
0:58	·	priest, master of the secrets of the
1:02	·	high temple, beloved of his father,
1:06	·	praised of all the colleagues with whom
1:11	·	he does priestly service
1:15	·	in this temple." Since I was sent, I am
1:21	·	indeed the one whose entrance into this
1:25	·	temple is expected,
1:28	·	specifically
1:30	·	beloved of his colleagues, praised of
1:35	·	the priests and the crew in this temple.
1:41	·	I am indeed one whose character as in
1:45	·	good character is in this temple in this
1:50	·	desert since I have come out to it. Now
1:55	·	the real key here is this phrase in this
1:59	·	temple in this desert. 10 is the
2:03	·	demonstrative adjective. The feminine
2:06	·	singular of the form referencing then uh
2:09	·	modifying hoot nature which is a
2:13	·	feminine noun. Hoot for domain direct
2:16	·	genative with the masculine noun naturer
2:18	·	making the entire direct genative a
2:21	·	feminine noun. Now the demonstrative
2:25	·	adjective this which is both following
2:27	·	temple and the feminine noun
2:31	·	means something close by. This means it
2:35	·	is here. And if we look up we can see
2:39	·	what this references which is the
2:42	·	mountain itself. But the evidence
2:44	·	doesn't just end with the demonstrative
2:47	·	adjective this. There is more. More
2:52	·	answers are to be found if we ascend up
2:55	·	to the top of this rock. This area also
2:58	·	provides a great vantage point for the
3:01	·	caravan tracks where we began that go
3:04	·	from Elab all the way into the eastern
3:07	·	desert.
3:09	·	And this too is an ancient track.
3:18	·	Surprisingly, at top the rock, we have
3:21	·	an ancient staircase. Now, there aren't
3:23	·	any texts associated directly with this.
3:25	·	However, the style of the chisel marks
3:29	·	indicates that these were carved in the
3:30	·	Feronic period rather than the Greco
3:32	·	Roman era.
3:40	·	And our next clue is all the way down
3:43	·	over there at the bottom of the wadi. To
3:46	·	the north of the rock is another set of
3:49	·	stairs cut in to the bed of the wadi.
3:52	·	And this accesses a well. When we first
3:55	·	excavated it, there's actually water in
3:57	·	the well. And another remarkable aspect
3:59	·	of this area and in fact the entire
4:02	·	region of Alcab is that it is one of the
4:04	·	greatest producers of natron a natural
4:08	·	resource in the wedding nun and here and
4:12	·	also throughout Egypt. Not only was this
4:14	·	used for purification rituals but also
4:18	·	for mummification.
4:20	·	So what does this all mean? that the
4:22	·	rock, this part of the wadi is itself
4:25	·	the temple with stairs going up to the
4:28	·	top of the rock allowing for celestial
4:30	·	observations and timekeeping at night
4:32	·	and stairs in the bed of the body
4:34	·	accessing water where priests could
4:37	·	purify themselves before rituals. This
4:40	·	rock, this area has all the elements
4:43	·	necessary to be an ancient temple. And
4:47	·	as the inscriptions tell us, they are
4:49	·	coming to this temple in this desert.
4:52	·	This is the lost temple.

Hey, that’s every day. Same goes for ice cream, pizza, uh, the LEDs on my scale are spelling out “HELP”...

ANPR, isn’t that where they drill for leftist radio hosts in Alaska?

They had cavities and constipation.

Building tech facilities that use a lot of water, especially clean freshwater, are more appropriately sited in place like, say, the Great Lakes region.

Thx!

Nonsense.
