I am not sure if I find things, or if I am drawn to things, making it them, that find me?
Second time I was in Egypt, I visited the Cairo museum, the biggest museum in the world (according to my thoughts) :) There are so many things there from the ancient world, that it would take months to see them all. I had my camera with me and was actually running out of film, when my eyes suddenly caught something, which was placed on a lower shelf (beneath knee height) some meters away. I quickly walked towards it, I could see that it was a false door. A false door is something the ancient Egyptian would use in their tombs, the purpose of these false doors is for the Ba of the deceased (Ba, a kind of spirit being). what stunned me the most about it, was the writing upon the false door, which did not look like the ancient Egyptians at all. I recognized the alphabet immediately, because I had just been working with this alphabet. As I was studying my fathers roots, I quickly read about their language and alphabet - Tamazight, which comes very close to the writing upon the false door above (again a personal opinion), if not identical.
