"Cowards die many times, the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the things I've yet heard, it seems most strange that men should fear. Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it comes."
Egypt, around BC 1500: Riots, mobs, protests, an uprising. An eerie heaviness hung in the air. Is there going to be a change? Things have never happened here like they have in these recent times.
Plagues ravaged the people in Egypt & it did not affect their slaves. Blood, frogs, lice, flies, pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness. One more remained.
Tonight the slaves are acting peculiar. They put the blood of slain lambs on their doorposts. The stench of blood is everywhere. What is the meaning of this madness? What is to happen tonight?
Then you heard it…
Egypt, 2011: Riots, mobs, protests, an uprising. An eerie heaviness hung in the air. Is there going to be a change? Things have never happened here like they have in these recent times.
Tahir Square, CAIRO
