Russsstyyyyy, where are you? Sad

Please tell me I'm not completely insane in thinking we used to have a Ramy topic and now it's gone? Shocked

I wanted to share this with you, though you've probably already seen it.

Hope all is well on your end. Hug

Ohhh, that's what it's all about! I was watching it and couldn't help but notice the distinct mother-child-family theme but it didn't even cross my mind it might be about Mother's Day; I feel so stupid. Razz But awh, that's so cute. ^_^ As are those photos! You can really see the resemblance between him and his parents. Very Happy

A Ramy thread here? Blink No, there never was one on this forum
There is some Ramy stuff in the "What's going thru your head" thread, so perhaps you got confused Wink

It's kinda weird now I think of it... the original "What's going thru your head"** thread (I mean the one on the old forum) was full of Ramy too before I made the proper thread...
...so it looks like the history is repeating itself, heh

**may it rest in peace Rolling Eyes

Nooo, don't feel stupid, PLZ!!
Actually, it wasn't just the Mother's Day itself, the song/vid was part of a special campaign to honour the Olympic Games Champions' Mothers; I guess they're bracing themselves for the London Games hahah
I so hope they win something this year as well, the Egyptians I mean, if only for Rammeh's sake ;p

I think I might be insane because I could have sworn we had one! Neutral I was trying to find a conversation we had about Ramy but I couldn't find it in the "What's going thru your head..." thread and I used the search tool and everything, so I just assumed it had been deleted. I guess it must've been on the old forum. Shocked

Hah, I didn't even realise. Very Happy And awh yeah, the old forum... Sad

Ohhh okay, that explains the sports theme, too. I just thought Egyptians were fond of their sport. :')
I'm excited for the London Olympic Games! Very Happy And yeah, I'll be rooting for Egypt for that reason too (unless Germany, Australia or Great Britain happen to be winning... Razz).

I'm absolutely positive that we didn't have a Ramy thread here, and I would know lol
The funny thing is that whenever I came here I was thinking about it intensely, I mean, how empty this place was without it and stuff... I even vaguely considered making one but I didn't think it would make any sense... Ohh, it would to me of course, but perhaps not to, er... other people Fear

You going on about being so sure we had it here is kinda scary, you know Wink I think I'll start believing in thought projection :O

he's been prevented from flaunting his awful hairy chest, you know what he's like Wink

Awhh noo! Sad You're so sweet but no way, and even if I didn't, you should have made it anyway. Just because I don't have as much time as I used to to listen to more of his music doesn't mean I don't like him as much, you know?

I was skimming up the page to find your reply and breezed over the pic and I saw the white dog and as I only caught a glimpse of it, I was somehow sure it was a kid (baby goat). I did a double take and noticed it was a dog and I have to admit I was disappointed. :')

OK, back to square one: ;p
You said: "...and even if I didn't, you should have made it anyway."
This "didn't" obviously meant "didn't like him the way I used to" (and this is what I referred to in my second comment, the one which confused you)

So I said: "But if you didn't* what would be the point of making the thread?"
*meaning didn't like him

I hope this cleared the matter up Wink

Omg! lol Tall ppl make me quite uncomfortable :S
Dunno why, cos I'm quite tall myself, heh

btw It's a good thing those statues are the size they are, otherwise they would in all probability have ended up in the American/French/Italian etc. museums, like the rest of the ancient Egyptian artefacts. It's heartbreaking to read about the plunder and pillage perpetrated by those "archaeological" expeditions in the old days. Anything they were able to carry off, they did.
There are more museums with Egyptian stuff in America (or France, the UK and Italy for that matter) than there are in Egypt itself. Neutral
There's even some Egyptian stuff in Australia, in the Nicholls... I mean... Nicholson ;p Museum in Sydney.
And yes, we also have some bits and pieces Rolling Eyes

How do you explain why you like or dislike certain things anyway? You just do lol (or don't ;p)

Dunno why, cos I'm quite tall myself, heh

btw It's a good thing those statues are the size they are, otherwise they would in all probability have ended up in the American/French/Italian etc. museums, like the rest of the ancient Egyptian artefacts. It's heartbreaking to read about the plunder and pillage perpetrated by those "archaeological" expeditions in the old days. Anything they were able to carry off, they did.
There are more museums with Egyptian stuff in America (or France, the UK and Italy for that matter) than there are in Egypt itself. Neutral
There's even some Egyptian stuff in Australia, in the Nicholls... I mean... Nicholson ;p Museum in Sydney.
And yes, we also have some bits and pieces Rolling Eyes

Really? If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?
Also that's so funny because I'm reeeally short and I feel okay in the presence of tall people. Probably because my best friends are both 20cm taller than me. Rolling Eyes

And oh yeah, I know, it's so sad. I'm learning about Pompeii and Herculaneum atm and it's so sad, the exact same thing has happened there. The early "archaeologists" had zero respect for the items they were excavating. Before that, all digs were conducted by treasure hunters who took thousands of artefacts. Everything was about money, and I guess it's the same now.

Yeah, sad is the right word.
It's kinda funny though, cos most of the Egyptian tombs were raided and robbed in the ancient times, and somehow one doesn't feel as much outraged about that as one is about the later, let's say, 19th century expeditions.
Anyway, it's weird that the Egyptian authorities allowed them to carry off all that stuff. Neutral
But wait... Egypt was under the British rule then, so...yeah. Rolling Eyes
There are 27 museums in the US and the UK (15 and 12 respectively) housing Egyptian artefacts, as opposed to only 4 in Egypt itself, can you believe it? Neutral

Yeah, true. That's an interesting point. I guess it's because people reading history now look back at those people and think, "Well, they knew no better! Neutral " and the people of more recent times like, "They knew better! Evil or Very Mad "

It's funny the way history works though Blink
Just think of those old megalithic sites in Britain and how the Vikings plundered them when they invaded it in the 8th century, heh
The walls of Maes Howe (the Stone Age cairn which is older than the pyramids!!) are all defaced by the Viking graffiti and somehow you don't seem to mind (well, at least I don't, as I have a soft spot for them lol).
Just imagine, you go there and see those (kickass Very Happy) runic inscriptions saying: I was here – Thorgeir (or something in that vein lol)**
My point is, it's amazing to think that now those runes are themselves of an immense historical value lol

**the actual inscription mentions a guy named Hakon who "single-handed bore treasure from this howe" Rolling Eyes

Anysound wrote:

Well, perhaps "rule" is too strong a word, as Egypt was never a proper colony (like Libya or Algieria for example), but it was practically as good as. The 19th century a very turbulent time for Egypt cos Europan powers - especially France and Britain - vied for supremacy there (which Britain finally "won"). The British meddled in the Egyptian affairs something awful, although their historians would never put it in this way, no sir Rolling Eyes
The way you see historical events so depends on whether you learn about them through the eyes of the conquerors or the conquered...

To be fair, Egypt itself is not without blame. Guess what was the fate of certain ancient fortresses when they built the Aswan Dam. Yes, they are still there, under the water. Neutral
However, many priceless temples which otherwise would have shared their sad fate were saved thanks to the efforts of American/Italian/Spanish etc. egyptologists, but guess where they are now. Let me give you a hint: not in Egypt. Neutral

btw Now I'm reading a book about the everyday life in ancient Egypt Rolling Eyes and there's a chapter in it devoted to literature aaaand there's a mention there of a story entitled "A Tale of Neferkare and General Sisene". It's about pharaoh Neferkare (a fictional character) who disappeared from his palace every night and nobody had any clue where he went or what the heck he was up to. One of the courtiers decided to play detective and he discovered that the said pharaoh sneaked out of his residence under cover of the night to visit his commander-in-chief (he climbed a ladder to get into his room lol). He spent there four hours every night, returning to his palace at dawn.

That's so cool - I always have hated how the everyday life of the ancient societies we study in school are so briefly skimmed over. We spend all this time on kings and pharaohs and royals and politics and blah blah blah but learn only the basics of everyday life for the plebs. I know there's only limited information and that those who ruled determined how life itself ran, but I don't know, I just find most the political stuff boring and would prefer to learn about normal people. It's kind of like... is it as if people in a couple thousand years were to dig up our old internet files and learn only about how Brangelina and the Queen lived? haha.

ANYWAY. Onto the topic at hand: Hahahah, oh Rusty. Rolling Eyes Ahhh, of course, of course you would like that story! Razz

"Jeso fellow" loooool
Anyway, I've been wondering about that myself, heh (but of course I would, wouldn't I Razz)
It's intriguing how this er, gay issue was viewed in different cultures...
For example in the Arab/Muslim world, which is (unjustly!) perceived as paranoidally intolerant and narrow-minded Rolling Eyes

One of the greatest Arab (Muslim) poets, Abu Nuwas (who flourished during the reign of the Abbasids [8/9th century A.D.]) was openly gay** and nobody seemed to mind lol (and he was not the only one Very Happy)
**as were his poems, needless to say Very Happy

Abu Nuwas and his poetry
just scroll down a bit to get to the best pieces Wink

(It says here that he was thrown "into prison for his drinking and his impertinent verse", but that was exactly what he ended up in jail for = the aforesaid "impertinence" towards the caliph haha, not the explicit gayness – is there such a word? lol - of his poems.)

And can you imagine a medieval European poet writing stuff like that without being drawn and quartered/ boiled alive in oil/ burned at the stake in consequence? lol


I die of love for him, perfect in every way,
Lost in the strains of wafting music.


Looove those lines ^_^

Just think... if he lived today and knew Ramy, ohhh.... what an inspiration he would be for him... his face, his voice, his music Love (I guess in this particular order ;p)

and talking of which, have you heard this song??
It's not new, but it's soooo lovely ^_^

"Jeso fellow" loooool

I can't take the credit for that line, Carl Barron refers - in appropriate Australian manner - to Jesus as "Jeso" in one of his routines. Razz

Anyway, I've been wondering about that myself, heh (but of course I would, wouldn't I Razz)
It's intriguing how this er, gay issue was viewed in different cultures...
For example in the Arab/Muslim world, which is (unjustly!) perceived as paranoidally intolerant and narrow-minded Rolling Eyes

One of the greatest Arab (Muslim) poets, Abu Nuwas (who flourished during the reign of the Abbasids [8/9th century A.D.]) was openly gay** and nobody seemed to mind lol (and he was not the only one Very Happy)
**as were his poems, needless to say Very Happy

Abu Nuwas and his poetry
just scroll down a bit to get to the best pieces Wink

(It says here that he was thrown "into prison for his drinking and his impertinent verse", but that was exactly what he ended up in jail for = the aforesaid "impertinence" towards the caliph haha, not the explicit gayness – is there such a word? lol - of his poems.)

Haha wow, that's so interesting. I have to admit I didn't expect art like that to come out of of the Arab world of all places, especially from that time. Thanks for opening my eyes. It's a shame the rest of the world didn't follow suit, huh? Razz

And can you imagine a medieval European poet writing stuff like that without being drawn and quartered/ boiled alive in oil/ burned at the stake in consequence? lol

Hahah, nooo, definitely not. :') (Also ugh, what terrible punishments they had "back in the day".)
