Elephantine (Arabic: جزيرة الفنتين) is an island in the Nile River in northern Nubia. It is a part of the modern city of Aswan, in southern Egypt. There are archaeological sites on the island.
Elephantine Island is 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) from north to south, and is 400 metres (1,300 ft) across at its widest point. The layout of this and other nearby islands in Aswan can be seen from west bank hillsides along the Nile. The island is located just downstream of the First Cataract at the southern border of Lower Egypt with Upper Egypt and Lower Nubia. This region above is referred to as Upper Egypt due land and river elevations being higher than downstream, and than the Nile Delta region to the Mediterranean Sea.
The island may have received its name after its shape, which in aerial views is similar to that of an elephant tusk. This is the meaning of the Greek word elephas (ελέφας). Other theories consider that the island is named because it was a trading center in the ivory trade.[citation needed]
Graham Hancock (born 2 August 1950 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a British writer and journalist. Hancock specialises in unconventional theories involving ancient civilizations, stone monuments or megaliths, altered states of consciousness, ancient myths and astronomical/astrological data from the past. One of the main themes running through many of his books is the possible global connection with a "mother culture" from which he believes all ancient historical civilizations sprang.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Hancock's formative years were spent in India, where his father worked as a surgeon. Having returned to the UK, he graduated from Durham University in 1973, receiving a First Class Honours degree in Sociology.
As a journalist, Hancock worked for many British papers, such as The Times, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and The Guardian. He was co-editor of New Internationalist magazine from 1976–1979 and East Africa correspondent of The Economist from 1981-1983.
Robert Bauval (born 5 March 1948 in Alexandria, Egypt) is an author, lecturer, and Ancient Egypt researcher, best known for his Orion Correlation Theory.
Bauval was born in Alexandria, Egypt, to parents of Belgian and Maltese origins. He attended the British Boys' School in Alexandria (now El Nasr Boys' School) and the Franciscan College in Buckinghamshire, England. He left Egypt in 1967 just before the Six-Days War during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser. He has spent most of his engineering career living and working in the Middle East and Africa as a construction engineer.
In late 1992 Bauval had been trying to obtain a translation of Hermetica by Walter Scott. He then came across a new edition printed by Solo Press with a foreword by Adrian Gilbert. Bauval contacted Gilbert after being interested in his foreword concerning a link between an Alexandrine school of Hermes Trismegistus and the pyramid builders of the Fourth dynasty of Egypt. They went on to write The Orion Mystery together, which became an international bestseller.BBC Two broadcast a documentary on Bauval's theories around the time of the book's publication. He has also co-authored three books with Graham Hancock, including a very contentious book on possible artificial structures on Mars (The Mars Mystery - 1998).
Yoshimasa "Yoshi" Wada (born November 11, 1943), is a Japanese sound installation artist and musician living in the United States. He lived in New York for many years but now lives in San Francisco, California.
Born in Japan, Wada joined the Fluxus movement in 1968 after meeting George Maciunas.[2] He also studied with the great North Indian vocalist Pandit Pran Nath. Wada's works often incorporate the use of drone and are usually performed at very high volume, allowing for the music's overtones to be heard very clearly.
He frequently performs his own compositions, which feature much freedom of improvisation, on Scottish highland bagpipe and voice, and also employs a number of homemade instruments. These include "pipe horns" (very long horn-type instruments made from metal plumbing pipe) as well as large reed instruments involving multiple bagpipe-like pipes connected to a large air compressor; due to their appearance, Wada named these latter instruments "Alligator" and "the Elephantine Crocodile". His music has been scarcely released on recordings, having seen only two LP releases, on the India Navigation (1982) and FMP [3] labels. Lament For The Rise and Fall of Elephantine Crocodile, The Appointed Cloud and Off the Wall were reissued by a Japanese label in 2008.[4]
Menpehtyre Ramesses I (traditional English: Ramesses or Ramses) was the founding Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's 19th dynasty. The dates for his short reign are not completely known but the time-line of late 1292-1290 BC is frequently cited as well as 1295-1294 BC. While Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty, in reality his brief reign marked the transition between the reign of Horemheb who had stabilised Egypt in the late 18th dynasty and the rule of the powerful Pharaohs of this dynasty, in particular his son Seti I and grandson Ramesses II, who would bring Egypt up to new heights of imperial power.
Originally called Pa-ra-mes-su, Ramesses I was of non-royal birth, being born into a noble military family from the Nile delta region, perhaps near the former Hyksos capital of Avaris, or from Tanis. He was a son of a troop commander called Seti. His uncle Khaemwaset, an army officer married Tamwadjesy, the matron of the Harem of Amun, who was a relative of Huy, the Viceroy of Kush, an important state post. This shows the high status of Ramesses' family. Ramesses I found favor with Horemheb, the last pharaoh of the tumultuous Eighteenth dynasty, who appointed the former as his Vizier. Ramesses also served as the High Priest of Amun[citation needed] – as such, he would have played an important role in the restoration of the old religion following the Amarna heresy of a generation earlier, under Akhenaten.
Decisions made, consequences paid
I don't have any reason to place the blame
Through hard times you stood strong
You helped me carry on
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
You never let us see you cry
Will it ever change, or will it all be the same?
Will you get your hopes up once again?
Reaching hands with no one to grab
Will you get your hopes up once again?
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
You never let us see you cry
Will it ever change, or will it all be the same?
Will you get your hopes up once again?
Reaching hands with no one to grab
Will you get your hopes up once again?
You never let us see you cry,
But we knew the tears fell every night
In a room with a closed and locked door,
When I look into your eyes,
I do not see support
This chapter in my life seems like the pages tore
And I can see you waiting,
For me to screw up
But if you look into her eyes you will see love
I know that day will come,
When you will have to choose
So find a place inside your heart,
And keep me there
I know that we live in a different world
Than you live in,
We're in a different world than you live in,
We're in a different world than you live in.
And I can see you waiting,
For me to screw up
But if you look into her eyes you will see love
I know that day will come,
When you will have to choose
So find a place inside your heart,
And keep me there
I know that we live in a different world
Than you live in,
We're in a different world than you live in,
We're in a different world than you live in.
You say that it's not love,
You say that it's not love,
You say that its' not love,
You say that it's not love,
And it's not love
And it's not love
And it's not love
And it's not love
Well I just got a slap on the face as you turn your back and walk away
And I want to see the difference that you claim you can make
Its like finding diamonds down under the ocean floor they were never meant to shine
It's trying to change my life when you don't want to change yours
I just can't figure this out
Doesn't it make you want to stay it feels so damn good
Running in circles all through my veins I just cant figure it out
With all these wishes for perfect people with perfect dreams
I want to make you happy but you are so hard to please
Who gave you this right to swing open doors that where meant to stay shut
Who gave you this right to Come destroy everything I just can't figure this out
Doesn't it make you want to stay it feels so damn good
Running in circles all through my veins I just cant figure this out
This once was a forever in time,
But it seemed to slip my watch
And I'll sit waiting for the next car to roll by,
But it's not you
And I'll sit waiting for the next car to drive by,
But it's not you
And I will wait forever if I have to
Put your hand in my hand,
And promise you'll stay forever
This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever
Fill this void in my life,
And promise you'll stay forever
Put your hand in my hand
This will be the last of my letters,
Until I get a reply
And I'll stare at the walls,
Until you cannot see the whites of my eyes
This will be the last of my letters,
Until I get a reply
And I'll sit waiting for the rest of my life,
The rest of my life
Put your hand in my hand,
And promise you'll stay forever
This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever
Fill this void in my life,
And promise you'll stay forever
Put your hand in my hand
This could be
The last words that I ever say to you,
And I want you to know
That I would not trade it for anything in this world
This could be
The last words that I ever say to you,
And I want you to know
That I would not trade it,
I would not trade it
Put your hand in my hand,
And promise you'll stay forever
This would be a tragedy if it didn't last forever
Fill this void in my life,
And promise you'll stay forever
With this long ride home I search for the truth
Candid thoughts display my youth
Frustration Distraction so scared that I cant get out of this
I need to find my way home
What if I fell straight down then broke out of this mess that I've been living in
Could I get back the things youth took from me
There's no ringing on the telephone
When the world expects you to be beautiful
And you cant stand the site of your face in the mirror
We reach for things that turn to dust
I've been in the water to long I started to turn bad
What if I fell straight down
What if I fell straight down
There's ringing on the telephone
There is never anyone home
And I want to forget all I've seen,
And all the pain that's been placed before me
And I'll try to think of better days, but I'll still scarred from your mistakes
And all I want is some sunshine on my life,
And all I want is someone to be my superhero,
And fly me away
And I can still remember that angry look in your eyes,
That smirk on your face clenched fist hit home
And I wish I could forget that angry look in your eyes,
That smirk on your face
Can somebody hear this?
And all I want is someone to be my superhero,
Someone to take my hand and fly me away
And all I want is someone to erase my memory
Someone to embrace me,
Am I asking too much?
I've never felt security
I guess I have no luck
Is there anyone?
Could you be the one? Yeah.
And I want to forget all I've seen,
And all the pain that's been placed before me
And I'll try to think of better days, but I'll still scarred from your mistakes
And I can still remember that angry look in your eyes,
That smirk on your face, clenched fist hit home
And I wish I could forget that angry look in your eyes,
That smirk on your face
And I wish I could forget that angry look in your eyes,
That smirk on your face
I wish I could forget that angry look in your eyes,
The first moment you caught my eye
I knew you were the one,
I knew it for sure
My heart skips a beat with every word that falls from your mouth
Every word that falls from your mouth
And I would search this world over just to see your smile again
And I am still searching for the words to explain how I feel
And I would search the world over just to see your smile again
And I am still here waiting for you
As time expires,
Our love is growing stronger with every minute that passes
And I hope that this feeling,
It never goes away
It never goes away
And I would search this world over just to see your smile again,
And I am still searching for the words to explain how I feel
And I would search the world over just to see your smile again,
And I am still here waiting for you
What do you think of me?
Am I supposed to care?
Walk around on broken glass just for you
Am I supposed to care, what you think of me?
Or should I let this all pass through my head?
And I've seen this coming for a long, long time now
And I am happy the day is finally here
So I can say good bye
Wipe the dust off my feet
It was nice to know you,
But better if I never met you at all
So long I will see you in my dreams
Cause that's where I remember you the best
What do you think of me?
Am I supposed to care?
Walk around on broken glass just for you
Am I supposed to care, what you think of me?
Or should I let this all pass through my head?
And I tried to help you,
But you would not let me
And I don't think you can even help yourself
So fly away,
You have spread yourself too thin
So long my friend I will see you in my sleep tonight
So long, I will see you in my dreams
See you in my sleep tonight
And I've seen this coming for a long, long time now
And I am happy the day is now finally here
So I can say so long,
Say good bye
Wipe the dust off my feet
I wish I never met you at all
Fly away,
You have spread yourself too thin
So long my friend, and I will see you in my sleep tonight
So long I will see you in my dreams
Sink with me Ill sing you to sleep
Wipe away the salt that's built up on your face
Lets slip away well take it slowly
Won't let the pattern of the world paint pictures for us
Its so strange the way you look at me
Its so strange the way you care for me
So sing me to sleep and tuck me in my dreams
Wake me screaming and tuck me in my dreams
Watch the day loose its color
Let the stars and sky be our sanctuary
Feel your touch feel the warmth of your embrace
Let's never take for granite all the words we love to say
It's so strange the way you look at me
It's so strange the way you care for me
Watch the sun rise reflect off of your shoulders
I'm blind
But if I'm dreaming wake me not
I watch the sun set on your beautiful horizons if I'm dreaming
Please don't you self destruct tonight
I wanna see you in the morning light
I know times are getting tough right now
But I know you'll make it through somehow
These things, we take for granted everyday
This life, is getting harder all the time
Will heal your wounds
So stay awake for me tonight
If you find me, I'll be licking champagne off of ships
Digging through my pockets finding pocket lint
If you find me, I'll be licking champagne off of ships
Digging through my pocket lint
If you go, if you need someone just call
I can help you but I can't solve it all
Please don't think you are all alone
If you're hurt just let me know
These things, we take for granted everyday
This life, is getting harder all the time
Will heal your wounds
So stay awake for me tonight
If you find me, I'll be licking champagne off of ships
Digging through my pockets finding pocket lint
If you find me, I'll be licking champagne off of ships
Digging through my pocket lint
Please don't you self destruct tonight
I wanna see you in the morning light
I know that times are getting tough right now
But I know you'll make it through somehow
If you find me, I'll be licking champagne off of ships
Digging through my pocket lint
If you go, you're all I have right now
And I know you'll make it through somehow
Stay awake for me tonight
Paint a picture of me and hang it in your fireplace
The flames will consume my face
Now watch me burn
Choke down that fresh-lit match with sympathy
Wear a different face with me
Then we can pretend that we can get back up again
Save your self
Save your self
Save your self from me
And say anything just make it brave cause if we don't act now we can never be the same as we use to be
I'll say anything just to make you brave cause if we don't act now we can never be the same as we use to be
I probably look a little different when I'm broken I hide this well
I'm sure that some can tell
So Ill keep on running with this limp you will never see
I built this noose with shaky hands and I will wear it without regret
Just don't forget the love that I gave with this thorn buried deep in me
He built this noose you bet he's going to use it
And I saw it coming up like a freight train
And I saw it coming like no one was to blame
And you have been there for me so many years
Encouraged me, caught my tears
And I know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it's not going to get easy soon
Know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know
If you need some shoulder
I'll be there for you if you can't walk on your two feet,
You have been there for me for so many years
Encouraged me, caught all my tears
So many knives in my back,
You're my only friend
And now the table's turned,
You've been let down
And now the table's turned,
And you've been let down
And I know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it's not going to get easy soon
Know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know
Dark clouds are forming inside
Dark clouds are inside
You can't be there for me,
So I will be there for you
I'll pick you up and take you on if you need to
And you can't be there for me,
So I will be there for you
I'll pick you up and take you on
And I know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
And I know it's not going to get easy soon
Know it's so hard,
Walking in these old shoes,
Let's go for a ride
Roll the windows down turn the music up on the stereo
I wanna hear my songs from miles away on the radio
It's just you and me tonight with nothing in our sights
It's just you and me tonight and nothing can take this away from me with you right by my side
I wanna hear my song on the radio
It makes everything alright
wait outside your door with your bags all packed I'll wait outside your door
Pedal to the floor
We'll drive into the night and keep nothing in our sights
We'll drive into the night
Roll the windows down turn the stereo up
I wanna feel the wind rush through my hair
Light me on fire again with the words you use from a friend
I wont say the things I'd like to say to you I wont do the things I'd like to do with you
Light me on fire again take a breath be happy don't pretend as I say the things I like to say to you as I do the Things I've always dreamed to do with you
As you watch me drown take my life support away
Leave me on the ground
With the sun to kiss my face
You came to me at the worst time and made the best time of my life
Unprepared I fall over every moment made
So speak to me silently blow my mind away and I promise not to be so careless
And fall over every word you say I am waiting on your next line
To come over me and take control I am waiting run over me
Everyone has their love stories to talk about
so here is mine packaged real neatly and delivered
I just cant get my head out of the clouds
cause I抦 floating around I抦 just dreaming
I just cant keep my feet upon the ground
cause I抦 running around I抦 just screaming
What have you done to me you said that you抎 fulfill my dreams
What have you done to me
But I'll be all right any way
if you promise to return this broken heart to me
I'll be ok
And these dreams that turn to nightmares are tearing me apart
These dreams that turn to nightmares are tearing
Cause I抦 in the air I抦 in the air with no plans of coming down
But you tore my wings you tore my wings apart
I just can抰 pick my head up off the ground
I抦 just laying around going crazy
I just cant get my head out of the clouds
I抦 running around I抦 Just screaming
Don抰 stand don抰 sit so close to me
Stay away from the problems I create and everything will be ok
Make sure that you don't listen to a word I say don't even pay attention to me
I am so sick and tired sick and tired of you and your creations you're so creative
Don't say that you are turning in I haven't begun yet
Its twelve o'clock you are driving recklessly my turn is up ahead now
You think that you can get the better side of me cause I'm just hanging on every thing you say
Talk is cheap is and so is the way you walk so put your money where your mouth is and eat is slowly
I am so sick and tired sick and tired of you and your creations you're so creative
You think you know me better than better than I know my self you're better than anyone else
A broken picture frame
Laying at my feet
This once was
A good memory
Now you are gone
And I want you back
Shattered dreams are
All I've ever had and
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand corrected
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand rejected
I never wanted you
To see this side of me
All my hurts,
All my insecurities
I never wanted you
To see this side of me
All my hurts,
All my insecurities
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand corrected
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand rejected
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand rejected
You proved me wrong again,
And I stand corrected
I never wanted you to see this ugly side of me
And I never wanted you to see this side of me
All my hurts,
All my insecurities
I never wanted you to see this ugly side of me
And I never wanted you to see this side of me
All my hurts,
All my insecurities
I stand alone,
And I stand alone
I never wanted you to see this ugly side of me
And I stand alone,
I heard it on the phone
The words you spoke pierced through my heart
Could not believe my ears
You're not coming home again
Since you've been gone
This world has seemed dull
Since you've been gone
I've been left here wondering when you will pick up and hit the road
Since you've been gone
This world has seemed dull
To my surprise
So outspoken I wanna think it was a lie
Cracks in my voice
I try to hide, I tired to disguise
Now, I've been left here wondering
When you will pick up,
When you will pick up and hit the road
Since you've been gone...
To my surprise
So outspoken I wanna think it was
I wish that they were right
Since you've been gone...
Since you've been gone
This world has seemed dull
Since you've been gone
I've been left here wondering when you will pick up and hit the road
Since you've been gone
This world has seemed dull
Heard it on the phone
The words you spoke pierced through my heart
Could not believe my ears
You're not coming home again
Since you've been gone
This world has seemed dull
Since you've been gone
I've been left here wondering when you will pick up and hit the road
Since you've been gone
And it's my night,
And all I wanna do is cry
Nothing's working out,
Everything has changed,
I just want to go back to how things used to be
And I can't understand for the life of me
Why I'm acting up right now
And I can't understand for the life of me
Why this is happening right now
Help me out
Help me out.
And it's my night,
And all I wanna do is cry
Nothing's working out,
Everything has changed,
I just want to go back to how things used to be
You and me,
Me and you
Watch the four of us take on the world
You and me,
Me and you,
Watch the four of us take on the world
And I can't understand for the life of me
Why this is happening right now
Help me out
Help me out.
Star-filled skies
And the lights of the boardwalk reflect off our eyes
So unstoppable,
Only letting ourselves get in the way
You and me,
Me and you
And the four of us take on the world
You and me,
Me and you,
Watch the four of us take on the world
And I can't understand for the life of me
Why this is happening right now
Help me out
Help me out.
And It's your night,
And all I wanna do is die
Nothing's working out,
Everything has changed,
Sometimes I know it goes too far,
When we're fighting each other apart
Why do we go on hurting like this?
And I know it's hard to say I'm sorry
when I'm not sorry
Sometimes I know we go too far,
When we're ripping each other apart
Why do we hurt each other?
And I know that this is some stupid game,
That I love to play
And I know that this won't be the end,
And I know that you will be my friend
And I know that this won't be the end,
And I know, and I know, and I know
Sometimes I know it goes too far,
When we're using words to rip you apart
Why do we go on hurting like this?
And I know that this is some stupid game,
That I love to play
And I know that this won't be the end,
And I know that you will be my friend
And I know that this won't be the end,
And I know, and I know that
You're my friend,
And I will be with you for evermore
And I'll stand by your side for evermore, for evermore
Evermore, evermore
I'll be with you, yeah.
Evermore, evermore
She expressed I don't really like this mess I'm in
Broken words that fall from the mouth of a broken girl dressed in confusion again
Gunna leave this town and wash it right out of my hair
Gunna leave I wont look back I swear so be prepared to stand up and scream
Walk down come sit next to me stay here on some solid ground I swear you wont be found
I heard this song on the radio and it reminded me of how we use to be 17
Don't look around don't hit the ground running when you see your world get pulled out from under you
Through the trees this brand new landscape of a disease
Heart attack for any man on the floor but makes you beg for more
This scene it's not all glitter all movie screens
Like she was promised the day she was born now she is torn up again and again
And it makes you feel important
I don't know much about weather But I've gathered that its raining down
This storm has been coming for some time now find high ground and wait it out
Kill the thought of being someone a person who fits in with the crowd hope's not around
I don't want to feel this way
And I failed look at the mess I made
Come clean and pay for normalcy
I don't want to be like this
Now I'm trying to find my way back find a track and hold my ground
I've searched for joy in all these places found nothing but empty sound hope's not around
I've seen questions form a million answers
and I don't think I've found the one I'm looking for
So have my roses faded black I caught them on my eyes I'm blinded by this misery
So stay away Just Get away don't ask me questions you already know the answers to I'm not fine I'm not ok
Will you wear me and make me happy
Will you wear me and show me off to your friends
I've seen it come around I know it goes around it will get you in the end
and I burned the mattress we laid upon so long ago I'm not like that anymore
The first moment you caught my eye
I knew you were the one,
I knew it for sure
My heart skips a beat with every word that falls from your mouth
Every word that falls from your mouth
And I would search this world over just to see your smile again
And I am still searching for the words to explain how I feel
And I would search the world over just to see your smile again
And I am still here waiting for you
As time expires,
Our love is growing stronger with every minute that passes
And I hope that this feeling,
It never goes away
It never goes away
And I would search this world over just to see your smile again,
And I am still searching for the words to explain how I feel
And I would search the world over just to see your smile again,
And I am still here waiting for you
