My lane.

Hidden in the quiet halls of the Ismailia Museum, the El Arish Stone stands as a mysterious black granite monument discovered on a farm in 1887. What once served as a simple cattle trough was later revealed to hold 74 lines of ancient hieroglyphs. These inscriptions describe incredible natural events, including fierce storms, darkness, and even the parting of the sea, offering a glimpse into how the ancient Egyptians recorded extraordinary occurrences.

Some historians find fascinating connections between the stone and the biblical story of the Exodus. The text mentions a “Prince of the Desert,” powerful storms, and a group of people leaving Egypt referred to as “evildoers.” It even names a place called Pekharti, which closely resembles Pi-Hahiroth, the location where the sea was parted according to the Book of Exodus. These details suggest the stone could preserve an Egyptian perspective on events often considered myth or legend.

Whether seen as mythology, cultural memory, or historical record, the El Arish Stone continues to captivate archaeologists and history enthusiasts alike.

Take my advice. Trust in Jesus. He saw, he knows, and he can do something about whatever is.

Trusting in divine omnipotence suggests an Ultimate justice beyond what we can see. Even when someone appears to escape consequences in our human systems, there is a higher accountability at work.

I made 3 potatoes into mashed and ate a leftover steak from the BBQ. The pineapple drink is really good, just add Ghost Pineapple Pump with Dole Pinapple Juice and the other half water. Gravy and A1 steak sauce come in handy. =]

I'll submit this tomorrow. This was not a step-by-step project like the assignments during the semester but I guess I learned a bit doing a scene all on my own. I had fun anyway.
