Other than loving and fanning the Pyramids and Patsy Cline, I'll explain in a bit. Please bear with me.
I love pyramids, I'd love to explore them one day when I get the chance. Probably activate the archaeologist part of me that is still dormant and waiting for me to come to my senses. Their sheer beauty amazes me. Half the time, no, scratch that. Most of the time I ask myself, how long it took for one humongous pyramid to be completed. Who designed them? How long it took? Or a whole generation of builders helped be what they are today... like say if a father worked on it, then the son, then the grandson....
Pyramids of Meroe in Sudan
Apparently, they were built around 500BC by the Nubians. They are smaller than the Egypt pyramids. Some sources say that these pyramids are much older than the Egyptian pyramids. But they served the same purpose: for burying purposes.
The Pyramids of Meroe - these are located about 200km north of Khartoum. They were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.
The history between Sudan and Egypt intrigues me. The more I research these two coutries, the interesting the facts.
Now back to Pyramids and Patsy Cline. Firstly they beging with today's letter 'P'. Patsy sang "Belong To Me", and in the first line of the first verse, there is the word 'Pyramids'. That's the only connection between the two. :D
This is the most romatic song I have ever heard. She sang this song in 1952, and whenever I hear it over the radio or from my music player, I still get goosebumps. (In a good way). I would like to share the clip with you.
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographes and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too in blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too in blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

The hopeless romantic in me had to share these lyrics.
Which song do you consider the most romantic? Ever visited the pyramids?

Great lyrics!
ReplyDeleteAnd I kinda like the idea that pyramid building is a generational effort - father, son, grandson teamwork... if this is proven to be true, it would add to the beauty and mystery of these amazing structures!!
I would love to visit the pyramids on day. That would be incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love Patsy Cline, especially this song. I, too, have the pyramids of Egypt on my bucket list. Thanks for the great post. Love your blog!
