I like the charming river” Nile” the river that ran away from paradise, here in” Luxor” the south of Egypt the river is more stronger and more beautiful than the other part of the river in my northern city “Cairo” , I wish I could spend my entire life beside the “southern Nile ” that pure river of water of life, while thinking about this thoughts , one of the Nile cruse crew came to inform me that we already reached “Luxor temple ” and all the passengers already lifted the cruse preparing visiting it .
When I lifted the cruse I found a beautiful two-horse carriage waiting for me, I ride behind a man and woman who did not notice me , and I heard them saying:
- My dear queen did you see what I have built for you , what a magnificent statue for you beside mine.
- My dear lord , god bless your generosity, what a beautiful statue
- however it cannot represents your beauty , and you cannot imagine the fabulous tomb that I had carved for you in the valley of queens
- Are you wishing my death? To marry another wife?
- of course no my darling, you are my life time love, you are not only the queen of Egypt, but also you are the queen of my heart.
I was shocked when I heard that, I get down the carriage I hide my self behind one of the great column in the great hall, and I saw a lot of colored paintings on the walls, I could not understand the writings but I was able to feet the meanings, I saw in front of me a whole life described with scenes with magic and charming birds , animals, farmars, workers, kings, queens and gods briefly you can say it is the world that have been described here .
I saw a very big water lake and a lot of girls and boys playing beside it , I wanted to ask them where am I , so i run towards them, but suddenly I fell to the ground , then I felt that a strong hand grabbed me to help me standing up, he was a soldier wearing a leopard skin over his shoulder and adding a lion`s tail to hang from his belt, he looked very firm and hard and asked me staidly:
“How did you enter here?”
