Comment:

Egypt. The first great civilisation and a screen on which apparently anyone can project their dreams & desires. For us Brits, it was one of the jewels of empire and the site of one our greatest naval victories. For Black America, a source of pride and an example of what African culture could and will achieve. For Hippies, a repository of esoteric knowledge. For the bouroisie, another source of exotica to help brighten their jaded lives. Hardly surprising it's a place and idea Rock & Roll & Jazz return to on a regular basis. This is just the tip of the pyramid.
