Hi, I don´t think the ancient Egyptians were more wize than we are. There are wisdom words all over the planet in all cultures. Just check the old Chinese texts. Kung-fu-Tze and such. I think that there are in every age some people who can sort of extract out of life what is wize and what will work for society and who have the ability to formulate it. But it´s not a common gift. Many of us rush around being too busy to stop and think. There is wisdom today too if we just look for it.

By this I don´t mean any discredit to the ancient Egyptians. I think it´s very interesting to see that way back in all times and ages there were these "corns of gold".
