"When I Die" is one of the greatest poems written by the Persian Poet Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273). This poem is about eternal life after death, featuring Rumi’s inspirational views on the afterlife that begins after physical death. -- When I die when my coffin is being taken out you must never think I am missing this world Don't shed any tears Don't lament or feel sorry I'm not falling into a monster's abyss When you see my corpse is being carried don't cry for my leaving I'm not leaving I'm arriving at eternal love When you leave me in the grave don't say goodbye Remember a grave is only a curtain for the paradise behind You'll only see me descending into a grave Now watch me rise How can there be an end when the sun sets or the moon goes down It looks like the end It seems like a sunset but in reality it is a dawn When the grave locks you up that is when your soul is freed Have you ever seen a seed fallen to earth not rise with a new life? Why should you doubt the rise of a seed named human? Have you ever seen a bucket lowered into a well coming back empty? Why lament for a soul when it can come back like Joseph from the well? When for the last time you close your mouth your words and soul will belong to the world of no place no time -- CREDITS MUSIC https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bansuri_sample_E_bass.ogg Attribution: own work, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/videos/tree-moon-planet-stars-reflection-156160/ Inconsolable grief painting https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inconsolable_grief.jpg Ivan Kramskoi, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Mewlana Jalal ad-Din Rumi https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mevlana-celaleddin-i-rumi-1.jpg Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Fire and Ice" is one of the great poems written by Robert Frost. This short poem expresses Robert Frost's profound idea that the world would end in either of two ways, either by ice or fire. Both the components are compared with self-destructing human emotions: hatred and desire. The poem, very artistically, underpins the philosophy that we let our emotions rule us and if don’t control them they will surely destroy everything around us. Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. -- Read by Winston Tharp https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-162-by-various/ -- CREDITS MUSIC Hopeless - Jimena Contreras -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/fire-beautiful-flame-1034853/ https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Mending Wall" is a thought-provoking poem written by Robert Frost. The poem revolves around two neighbours who meet to mend the stone wall separating their farms. The poem emphasizes that having clear boundaries between ourselves and others leads to healthy relationships between neighbours because they won’t fall out over petty territorial disputes or ‘invading each other’s space’. -- Read by Alan Davis Drake https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-022/ -- CREDITS MUSIC Island Dream - Chris Haugen -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://pixabay.com/photos/ruin-leftovers-stone-wall-expired-2933741/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ is one of the great poems written by Robert Frost. This short poem is about the impermanence of life. It describes the fleeting nature of beauty by discussing time’s effect on nature. Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. -- Read by Winston Tharp https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-192-by-various/ -- CREDITS MUSIC Hopeless - Jimena Contreras -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/smoke-backdrop-macro-creative-4988505/ https://pixabay.com/photos/stars-sky-night-starry-sky-1845140/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"The Road Not Taken" is a narrative poem written by Robert Frost. This poem is thought to be one of the most misinterpreted poems in American literature. “The Road Not Taken” argues for the importance of our choices, both big and small, since they shape our journey through life. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. -- Read by Karen Golden -- CREDITS MUSIC Symphony No. 5 (by Beethoven) - Beethoven --- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/direction-getting-lost-crossroads-6298712/ https://pixabay.com/photos/forest-path-lights-nature-trees-6951849/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ --- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Ancient Egyptian art is renowned for its distinctive style, symbolism, and longevity. Here are some key features and aspects of Egyptian art: - Symbolism and Representation: Egyptian art was highly symbolic and often depicted gods, pharaohs, and important events. It aimed to convey eternal truths rather than realistic portrayal. representation. - Hierarchical Scale: Important figures, such as pharaohs or gods, were often depicted larger than others to denote their significance and power. This hierarchical scale was a common feature in Egyptian art. - Material and Techniques: Egyptians used various materials for their art, including stone, wood, metals, and pottery. They were skilled in carving reliefs and sculptures, as well as painting on walls, papyrus scrolls, and other surfaces. The use of vibrant colors, especially in wall paintings, was characteristic of Egyptian art. - Subjects and Themes: Egyptian art predominantly focused on religious and funerary themes. Scenes from daily life, such as farming, hunting, and domestic activities, were also common. Mythological narratives, particularly those involving the journey of the soul after death, were frequently depicted in tombs and temples. - Funerary Art and Tombs: Much of the surviving Egyptian art comes from tombs and burial sites. These artworks served both practical and religious purposes, providing provisions and protection for the deceased in the afterlife, as well as conveying religious beliefs about death and the afterlife. - Tomb Paintings: Wall paintings in tombs, such as those in the Valley of the Kings and the tombs of nobles, are famous for their elaborate scenes depicting the journey of the deceased through the afterlife, including encounters with gods, judgment scenes, and offerings to sustain the soul. - Statuary: Egyptian statues were often static and idealized representations of the subject, emphasizing permanence and divine attributes. The famous Great Sphinx and colossal statues of pharaohs, such as the statues of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, are prime examples of Egyptian statuary. - Continuity and Tradition: Egyptian art maintained a remarkable continuity of style and themes over thousands of years, with changes occurring gradually and within a traditional framework. This stability was closely tied to the religious and cultural beliefs of ancient Egyptian society. Overall, ancient Egyptian art is not only visually striking but also offers valuable insights into the religious beliefs, social structures, and cultural values of one of the world's oldest civilizations. -- CREDITS MUSIC Desert Caravan - Aaron Kenny Restless Natives - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions Drums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400021 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/palette-paints-oil-painting-1482678/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/tree-pen-universe-write-stars-5831258/ -- Ancient Egyptian Artworks included: Nebamun Hunting Fowl in the Marshes https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TombofNebamun-2.jpg The beautiful Egyptian Woman https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tomb_of_Nakht_(3).jpg The Blind harper and the beautiful ladies Musicians and dancing girls, and wine. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nebamun_tomb_fresco_dancers_and_musicians.png Painting of Khai-Inherkha and wife enjoying music.

The Ancient Egyptians believed that amulets have divine or magical powers such as: - the ability to protect against a specific type of danger, - the ability to cure disease, - or the ability to give preternatural strength to the wearer. Amulets were made in the shape of gods, animals, plants, and Hieroglyphic symbols. They were made of gold, bronze, crystals, glass, stones, and other materials. Amulets were often inscribed with a spell, magic incantation or symbol that protects the wearer against evil or provides aid and magical benefits. A large variety of amulets were placed on the mummy body and scattered among the wrappings to ensure the safety of the body and any easy passage into the Afterlife. Several of the spells in the Book of the Dead were intended to be spoken over specific amulets, which were then placed in particular places on the body of the deceased. Amulets were not only a representation and an incarnation of ancient Egyptian religion, but an apparent witness to the great Egyptian art as well. -- Credits MUSIC Drums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400021 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Ghost Story by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300034 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- https://pixabay.com/videos/mystery-fog-fear-halloween-dark-38199/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amuleto_raffigurante_il_cuore_1_2019-08-0219-39-07(A,Radius6,Smoothing3).tif Museo Egizio, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amuleto_raffigurante_un_cobra_Cat.963-hel08B8854rt.tif Museo Egizio, CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amuleto_raffigurante_un_falco_2019-07-3017-32-31(A,Radius6,Smoothing3).tif Museo Egizio, CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cat_amulet-E_10661-IMG_9288-gradient.jpg Rama, CC BY-SA 3.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Khaemwaset%27s_tomb_treasure_(Serapeum).jpg Louvre Museum, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pectoral-E_69-IMG_2498-white.jpg Louvre Museum, CC BY-SA 2.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shabti-box,_wood_-_Museo_Egizio_Turin_C_2441_p01.jpg Museo Egizio, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 --

An amulet is anything worn or carried by a person for protection or good luck. There were several Ancient Egyptian words for amulets, most notably 'Sa' and 'Wedjau', which were associated with protection, well-being, and prosperity. In ancient Egypt, amulets were often small figures of the gods featuring the most well-liked deities. Often, they were inlaid in other types of jewelry or hung on a thread around the neck. Favorites included Amun, Isis, Hathor, Bes, Min, Taweret, and other Gods and Goddesses. Newborns were adorned with amulets to keep them safe and healthy, and parents placed amulets around their children's necks to ward off evil spirits and protect them from scorpions, snakes, and crocodiles. Amulets were thought to possess a variety of abilities. Some amulets have divine power and served only as protection. For example, Bastet, the cat Goddess, would defend you if you wore a little cat charm around your neck. An amulet of the lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet would make you bold, a bull amulet of the God Apis would give you strength, and an amulet of Thoth would aid you in gaining wisdom. -- Credits MUSIC Drums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400021 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Ghost Story by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300034 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- https://pixabay.com/videos/mystery-fog-fear-halloween-dark-38199/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:D%C3%A9tail_du_pectoral_de_la_statue_de_I%C3%A2hmessaneith_55.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Magical_Stela_(Cippus_of_Horus)_MET_DP319007.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amuleto_raffigurante_il_dio_Horus_2019-08-0217-55-10(A,Radius6,Smoothing3).tif Museo Egizio, CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amulet_depicting_the_god_Harpocrates,_faience_-_Museo_Egizio_Turin_C_417_p01.jpg Museo Egizio, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amulet_of_Seth-E_7715-IMG_2882-gradient.jpg Louvre Museum, CC BY-SA 2.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heryshaf_as_ram_sitted_on_nenufar-E_11074-IMG_8145-gradient.jpg Louvre Museum, CC BY-SA 2.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arte_egizia,_stele_di_horus_sui_coccodrilli,_bassa_epoca_(da_collez._cardinale_Giuseppe_Spinelli).JPG I, Sailko, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aegis_of_Neith-H1550-IMG_0172.jpg Photograph by Rama, Wikimedia Commons, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr, CC BY-SA 2.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bronze_Aegis_of_Isis._She_wears_a_tripartite_wig_with_12_uraeus_serpents._From_Saqqara,_H5-228,_Egypt._Ptolemaic_period,_30th_Dynasty._The_Petrie_Museum_of_Egyptian_Archaeology,_London.jpg Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin FRCP(Glasg), CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0

Tutankhamun's treasures are among the most iconic artifacts of Ancient Egypt. When Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922, it was virtually intact, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the wealth and artistry of the New Kingdom period. Perhaps the most famous of all the treasures is Tutankhamun's gold funerary mask. It is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship, made of solid gold inlaid with lapis lazuli, turquoise, and other precious stones. It covers the pharaoh's mummy and is adorned with symbolic imagery. The pharaoh's golden throne, adorned with scenes of his wife, Ankhesenamun, was another significant find. It symbolizes his royal status and depicts him and his queen in various ceremonies. Inside Tutankhamun's tomb, Carter discovered a canopic shrine containing four alabaster canopic jars, each holding the preserved internal organs of the young king. The shrine is intricately decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology. Tutankhamun was buried in a series of coffins, each nestled inside the other. The innermost coffin is made of solid gold and depicts the pharaoh as Osiris, the god of the afterlife. Among the treasures were several statues of the pharaoh, including a life-sized statue found near the entrance of the tomb. These statues served both a religious and a symbolic purpose, ensuring the king's immortality in the afterlife. Ancient Egyptian art, including that found in Tutankhamun's tomb, is characterized by its religious symbolism, attention to detail, and emphasis on preserving the pharaoh's legacy in the afterlife. Hieroglyphs, symbolic motifs, and depictions of gods and goddesses are common themes in Egyptian art, reflecting the culture's deep spiritual beliefs and reverence for the divine. -- CREDITS MUSIC Halls of the Undead by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100355 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Restless Natives - Doug Maxwell_Media Right Productions -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/palette-paints-oil-painting-1482678/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/tree-pen-universe-write-stars-5831258/ -- Treasures and Artworks Wooden statue of the guardian of the Ka of the king https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Paris_-_Tout%C3%A2nkhamon,_le_Tr%C3%A9sor_du_Pharaon_-_Statue_en_bois_du_gardien_du_Ka_du_roi_-_002.jpg Thesupermat, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Falcon Horus supporting the solar disk https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Horus_au_disque_solaire_Nebkeprur%C3%A9_A.jpg Siren-Com, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Figurine of the god Ptah https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Figurine_du_Dieu_Ptah.jpg https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Lid for a canopic container https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Canopic_container_Lid_(Tutankhamun).jpg ddenisen (D.

The bird in this poem flaps its wings and sings, but this is not because it's happy.

We Wear the Mask is a poem written by the African American poet and novelist Paul Laurence Dunbar in 1895. It was a reaction to the experience of being black in America in the late 19th century, following the Civil War, a period when life seemed to have improved for black Americans, yet in reality, was still marked by intense racism and hardship. Dunbar compares surviving the pain of oppression to wearing a mask that hides the suffering of its wearer, while presenting a more joyful face to the world. The poem does not specifically mention race; its message is applicable to any circumstance in which marginalized people are forced to present a brave face in order to survive in an unsympathetic, prejudiced society. -- Read by Shawn Craig Smith https://librivox.org/short-poetry-collection-085-by-various/ -- CREDITS MUSIC --- Drums of the Deep by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400021 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/vectors/mask-carnival-face-acting-costume-151244/ https://pixabay.com/photos/stars-sky-night-starry-sky-1845140/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian painter, sculptor, engineer, and architect whose skill and intelligence, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo da Vinci's paintings "La Gioconda" (Mona Lisa) and "Last Supper" are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo, are considered the three great masters of that period. -- CREDITS MUSIC How Far We've Come - Cooper Cannell -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/photos/palette-paints-oil-painting-1482678/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/tree-pen-universe-write-stars-5831258/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/gothic-vintage-female-ghost-stories-1662756/ Paintings of Leonardo da Vinci Self-portrait https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_presumed_self-portrait_-_lossless.png La Gioconda, (The Mona Lisa) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mona_Lisa.jpg Ginevra de' Benci https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ginevra_de%27_Benci_-_National_Gallery_of_Art.jpg The Lady with an Ermine https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lady_with_an_Ermine_-_Leonardo_da_Vinci_(adjusted_levels).jpg Female Head https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_vinci,_Female_Head.jpg Leda https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_Leda_-_WGA12727.jpg Annunciation https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_Annunciazione_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg Madonna Litta https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madonna_Litta_Hermitage.jpg The Virgin and Child with St. Anne https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_La_Vierge,_l%27Enfant_J%C3%A9sus_et_sainte_Anne_(Louvre).jpg Virgin, Child, St Anne and St John https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_-_St._Anne_cartoon-alternative.jpg Saint John the Baptist https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_Saint_John_the_Baptist_C2RMF_retouched.jpg Salvator Mundi https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci,_Salvator_Mundi,_c.1500,_oil_on_walnut,_45.4_%C3%97_65.6_cm.jpg Head of Christ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo,_testa_di_cristo,_1494_circa,_pinacoteca_di_brera.jpg The Last Supper https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_-_The_Last_Supper_high_res.jpg -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

The Wise King by Kahlil Gibran. Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, published "The Madman, His Parables and Poems" in 1918. It is a collection of Parables and poems in which Gibran taunts and ridicules ignorance, outdated ideas and inherited traditions. Gibran made his hero a madman in order to evade logic, so no one can blame a madman, or as Gibran said, "Madness is the first step towards impartiality". In this way he seeks to build another world, more humane, more beautiful and more just - even if it were by illusion alone. -- The Wise King Once there ruled in the distant city of Wirani a king who was both mighty and wise. And he was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of that city was a well, whose water was cool and crystalline, from which all the inhabitants drank, even the king and his courtiers; for there was no other well. One night when all were asleep, a witch entered the city, and poured seven drops of strange liquid into the well, and said, "From this hour he who drinks this water shall become mad." Next morning all the inhabitants, save the king and his lord chamberlain, drank from the well and became mad, even as the witch had foretold. And during that day the people in the narrow streets and in the market places did naught but whisper to one another, "The king is mad. Our king and his lord chamberlain have lost their reason. Surely we cannot be ruled by a mad king. We must dethrone him." That evening the king ordered a golden goblet to be filled from the well. And when it was brought to him he drank deeply, and gave it to his lord chamberlain to drink. And there was great rejoicing in that city of Wirani, because its king and its lord chamberlain had regained their reason. -- Read by David Wales https://librivox.org/the-madman-the-forerunner-by-kahlil-gibran/ -- CREDITS MUSIC Your Suggestions by Unicorn Heads Melancholia by Godmode -- https://pixabay.com/videos/sea-ocean-wave-that-goal-nature-99005/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/flourish-dividers-gold-foil-hearts-6144402/ https://pixabay.com/photos/full-moon-moon-reflection-coastline-4781350/ https://pixabay.com/photos/picture-window-stained-glass-698390/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Bastet or Bast (The Cat Goddess) is a feline-headed or feline-bodied deity in Egyptian religion. She was an ancient deity whose ferocious nature was ameliorated after the domestication of the cat around 1500 BCE. She is the daughter of Re, the sun god, and her titles are: The Lady of Flame, and The Eye of Ra. Originally she was viewed as the protector goddess of Egypt. In the Middle Kingdom, the domestic cat appeared as Bastet’s sacred animal and after the New Kingdom she was represented as a woman with a cat’s head, carrying an ancient percussion instrument called sistrum in her right hand; an aegis, or breastplate in her left hand; and a small bag over her left arm. She wears an elaborately ornamented dress. Her cult was carried to Italy by the Romans, and traces have been found in Rome, Ostia, Nemi, and Pompeii. Bastet was so popular that people from all cultures kept small figures of cats as amulets. I hope this collection of artworks housed in Egypt and world museums will be a source of your tranquility and solace. -- CREDITS MUSIC Grass - Silent Partner -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/videos/mystery-fog-fear-halloween-dark-38199/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/ https://pixabay.com/photos/bastet-cat-egypt-cat-sculpture-3201562/ https://pixabay.com/photos/cute-cats-kittens-animals-mammals-3273789/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amuleto_2018-10-032009-19-3420(A2CRadius32CSmoothing2).tif Museo Egizio, CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bastet_as_cat_headed_woman-AF_9684-IMG_0554-white.jpg Rama, CC BY-SA 3.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bastet_dame_katzenkopf.jpg Kotofeij K.

Hor, Har, or Heru, in ancient Egyptian religion, is a god in the form of a falcon, or a man with a falcon head known today with the name, Horus. His name means "The Distant One", or the "One Who is Above". Horus had different titles and epithets: Harsiesis (Har-si-Ese, “Horus, Son of Isis”), Harpocrates (Har-pe-khrad, “Horus the Child”), Harakhte (“Horus of the Horizon,” Haroeris (Harwer, “Horus the Elder”). According to the Osiris Myth, Horus was born miraculously after Goddess Isis retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris. Horus had to fight Set, the murderer of his father, to restore the order and sovereignty of Egypt. In the fight, Horus’s left eye (representing the moon) was damaged and was healed by the god Thoth. The figure of the restored eye (the wedjat eye) became a powerful amulet for healing and good luck. It was believed that Horus had four Sons represented in Canopic Jars. They were made to contain the internal organs removed from the body during the mummification process. The four sons were believed to protect these organs. The jackal-headed Duamutef protected the stomach; the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef, the intestines; the baboon-headed Hapi, the lungs; and human-headed Imsety, the liver. Egyptians believed that the reigning king was a manifestation of Horus. So the king was typically depicted with a hovering form of Horus above his head. -- Credits MUSIC Mayan Ritual - Jimena Contreras -- Cylinder Seven by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/cylinders/ Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/ --- Photos and videos https://pixabay.com/illustrations/sunset-ocean-nature-sea-landscape-2126686/ https://pixabay.com/videos/mystery-fog-fear-halloween-dark-38199/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/gold-frame-brown-background-7434303/ https://pixabay.com/photos/moon-sky-night-cloudy-moonlight-142977/ -- Credits to be included https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F4155_Louvre_offrande_a_Osiris_par_le_portier_du_temple_Amon_Irethorrou_N3387_rwk.jpg Mbzt, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D9%83%D8%B4%D9%83_%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%A7%D9%86.jpg Ahmed karmy, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stele_egizia_con_horo_su_coccodrilli,_IV_secolo_ac.,_dall%27area_dell%27ospedale_di_crotone,_01.jpg Sailko, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flickr_-_archer10_(Dennis)_-_Egypt-4B-033.jpg Dennis Jarvis from Halifax, Canada, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seth_%2B_horus.jpg Soutekh67, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amulet_depicting_the_gods_Isis,_Horus_and_Nephthys,_faience_-_Museo_Egizio_Turin_C_759_p01.jpg Museo Egizio, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jewel_Osiris_family-E_6204-IMG_0641-black.jpg Louvre Museum, CC BY-SA 2.0 FR https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:StatueOfHoremhebAndTheGodHorus_KunsthistorischesMuseum_Nov13-10.jpg Captmondo, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 --

Judas Iscariot was one of the Twelve Disciples of Jesus of Nazareth, notorious for betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Judas repented after seeing Jesus condemned to death. Then he returned the silver and hanged himself. -- CREDITS MUSIC For Originz by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100700 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/illustrations/eye-of-horus-eye-of-ra-egypt-gold-6078479/ https://pixabay.com/photos/palette-paints-oil-painting-1482678/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/tree-pen-universe-write-stars-5831258/ Crucifix of Santa Croce by Donatello https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Installazione_florens_2012_crocifisso_donatello_03.JPG I, Sailko, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Sculpture of the Kiss of Judas Iscariot in Carinthia https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heiligenblut_-_Pfarrkirche_-_Herz-Jesu-Altar_-_Judaskuss.jpg The Last Supper by Carl Bloch https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The-Last-Supper-large.jpg Judas Iscariot by James Tissot https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brooklyn_Museum_-_Judas_Iscariot_(Judas_Iscariote)_-_James_Tissot_(cropped).jpg Judas being paid 30 pieces of silver https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:6852_les_deniers_de_judas.JPG Berrucomons, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Judas kiss - Lateran chapel, Rome https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Judas_kiss_-_a_sculptural_group_in_he_Lateran_chapel.jpg Vitold Muratov, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Judas' kiss - Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grudziadz_Polyptych_06.jpg Kiss of Judas (14th century in Rimini) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:14th-century_unknown_painters_-_Kiss_of_Judas_-_WGA23904.jpg The Arrest of Christ by Giotto https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Giotto_-_Scrovegni_-_-31-_-_Kiss_of_Judas.jpg The kiss of Judas (15th century) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Le_baiser_de_Judas_Heures_Charles_d%27Angoul%C3%AAme_XVe.jpg Judas' regret by José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Almeida_J%C3%BAnior_-_Remorso_de_Judas,_1880.jpg The Remorse of Judas by Edward Armitage https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edward_Armitage_(1817-1896)_-_The_Remorse_of_Judas_-_N00759_-_National_Gallery.jpg Repentance of Judas by Simó Gómez https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:G%C3%B3mez,_Judes.JPG Repentance of Judas by Antoni Caba https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caba_Judes_275.JPG Judas by Edward Okuń https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oku%C5%84_Judas.jpg Judas Iscariot from Tarzhishte Monastery https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Judas_Iscariot_from_Tarzhishte_Monastery.jpg Edal Anton Lefterov, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 Judas hangs himself by Gislebertus https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autun,_Judas.JPG Cancre, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 giuda impiccato by Carlo Filippo Chiaffarino https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carlo_filippo_chiaffarino,_giuda_impiccato,_1875-84_ca.jpg Carlo Filippo Chiaffarino, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Judas hanged https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:La_Brigue_-_Chapelle_Notre-Dame-des-Fontaines_-8.JPG MOSSOT, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 The suicide of Judas https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Malmkrog_Kirchenburg_Fresko_Judas.jpg El bes, CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 Judas with a black halo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Judas_Iscariot_in_Stained_Glass_Depiction.jpg GadgetSteve, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

Hypatia (c. 370 - 415) was an Egyptian-born Greek philosopher and mathematician. She was the most beautiful, the most virtuous, and the most learned lady in her time. Cyril, a notable Alexandrian bishop, accused her publicly as an idol-worshipper. Consequently, a Christian mob kidnapped her and stripped her naked before scraping Hypatia’s flesh with oyster shells. Finally she was torn to pieces. To this day she is seen as a martyr for philosophy and an icon for women’s rights. -- CREDITS MUSIC Air Prelude by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100337 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ -- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/palette-paints-oil-painting-1482678/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/wave-painting-drawing-artistic-81840/ https://pixabay.com/videos/black-abstract-background-lines-18327/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/tree-pen-universe-write-stars-5831258/ https://pixabay.com/videos/lighthouse-sunset-sunrise-sky-sea-1917/ -- Artworks of Hypatia Hypatia by Alfred Seifert (1850–1901) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alfred_Seifert_Hypatia.jpg Death of Hypatia in Alexandria. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Death_of_philosopher_Hypatia_in_Alexandria.jpg WELT, 2019, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Portrait of Hypatia by Jules Maurice Gaspard (1862-1919) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hypatia_portrait.png Jules Maurice Gaspard, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons A scene from the play, 'Hypatia' by Actress Mary Aynderson https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hypatia_(1900_Play).png Hulton Archive/Getty Images, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Painting of Hypatia by Charles William Mitchell (1854–1903) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hypatia_(Charles_Mitchell).jpg Charles William Mitchell, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Hypatia by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hypatia,_by_Julia_Margaret_Cameron.jpg Julia Margaret Cameron, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Hypatia at the Haymarket theatre by H.
