Life Is a River

Adages for Life

The Egyptians had a way of making things last a very long time. Some might believe the great pyramids will last long after our children's children are gone or even longer.

The mummification methods used way back in the time of King Tutankhamun, who was born in 1241 BC, have made DNA samples of people who lived on this earth a very long time ago possible. The unique type of work done on human remains can bring us back to a time way before the United States was born. To me, The Egyptians wanted things to last a very long time. They left articles for an after-life with mummified Pharaohs for them to use. We still search for clues by way of large excavations as to why they had such knowledge and foresight.

I truly believe that certain books are meant to be preserved and last long after they, the writers, are gone. Maybe they want a legacy of their time on earth. They certainly will not be mummified like 'Tut' was. Could that be a shame? Some writers may want to be held in high regard in the far off future. It may be some desire of self-gratification.
