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
