Ancient Egypt Full Story

Nile stretches like serpent from abyss
Because it nourishes the desert it reflects universal bliss
On its shores Cleopatra gave Mark Anthony a kiss
Where she turned a ruler from a princess

That is where the ancient Sphinx whispers riddles of old
Whoever answers them will have more than gold
This is where God Ra looks down on earth when day is about to unfold
This is where ancient pyramids only surviving ancient wonder are precisely it to behold

The pyramids are a tomb 
But this is no place of death this is a womb
This is no place of gloom
This is place where glory of Pharaohs soul will bloom

For his soul will not disperse
But be one with Amun Ra secret and sacred universe
Where with God pharaoh can converse
And in the eternal light and ultimate good submerse

This is the culture distant and unique
Having great offering to those who knowledge seek
This culture rose when closeness of suns’ binary star was at its peak
Ancient but advanced pyramid was stepping stone to essence of soul of which divine winds speak

But beware
Knowledge Sphinx is not always willing to share
That why part lion lions protect his lair
And to their eyes like to death’s eyes stare
Those who venture there

The guards try to restrain the beasts
With ropes but each beast persists
To go after unwary traveler no matter if his armed with sword or just fists
And after killing the person lion feasts 

The heart pounds in both the traveler and guards
For controlling a lion is not like playing cards
One has to be very careful  his life one regards
And of fallen victims there are many graveyards

The onlookers also feel a cold sweat
For even to them lion is a threat
Some came from as far as Tibet
And despite the danger the spectacle is so sublime they don't regret 

However if lions teeth person will avoid
They are given lying there skin of leopard which will transport them past the void
Into sphinxes lair where normally humans are destroyed
But protected by the leopard skin the divine bliss by that person is enjoyed 

This person will sail celestial reflection of a Nile
Upstream where just like on Earth celestial leopards and lions will smile
There the person will enjoy awesome lifestyle
 And see mesmerizing things at the end of Nile

The delta of celestial Nile on other hand
Is also a place where normally only pharaoh’s soul is send
This place is beyond celestial mists and it is truly grand
I could tell you something about it but words would only cheapen the glory of this land
