I hope the new function will make my work accessible to more people.
So, without further ado, here's the new video.
From the pre-dynastic era to the empire.
Ancient and New, the ancient Egyptians have been known for their incredible stone work,
Your precise words, your exquisite detail and your perfect finish.
But in my new old book, the report of the 1978 excavation of the Croma dump,
A bunch of garbage just south of these are pyramids created in the ancient empire.
I found what I would say is the worst sculpture of ancient Egypt ever recorded.
And here comes the great revelation.
Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh or maybe I'm right,

There's something in this reality that's simply beautiful.
It shows how people drew a human face in the past.
For once, we're not seeing a sculpture created by incredible canteros employed by
Many of us simply don't know how to draw.
And human. In those days, maybe the common way of drawing a human face was ovals.
For the eyes, a triangular nose and a curved line for the mouth.
I hope this gets put on display in some museum because I'm sure it would draw a lot of attention.
Much more than your creator thought you would receive.
