Ramses II part 2

There are several levels of my awe and astonishment about the project of moving the statue of Ramses II to its new resting place.

There's obviously behind this project, a respect and reverence for the history of the country, in this case, Egypt. Sure, this may well be due to the fact that respect for history is codified in Egyptian law. Still, there is the impulse to treasure history and to keep it alive, even if it had to be given the weight of law.

There is also my awe and respect for the people themselves to actually get together to do this difficult project.
