RAMBLES 1 THE
OLD WORLD.
BY CLIFF A. OWENS.
(Caper No. 7.)
Herodotus wrote: “Egrypt
more wonders 4ian any
other land, and is pre-eminent
above all the countries of the
world.” liext to Pales!hie, so
closely associated with the his¬
tory of the Bible and the life of
our Lord, I found Egypt the
most interesting and fascinating
country we visited.
One thing which strong.'y im¬
presses the student of Egypt is
the extreme antiquity of her civi¬
lization. A visitor from the new
world is bewildered in contem¬
plation of this. There are men
and women who havegivou their
lives to the study of Egyptian
and customs and have
won for themselves the title of
“Egyptologists.” These histo¬
rians are not agreed as m the
date of the beginning of Egyp
tian civilization. An excellent
and conservative authority plac¬
es it at about 5000 B. C. Long
before Abraham was born, Egypt
had made wonderful progress in
science, in art and literature.
We Americans stand with , head

Declaration of Independence, in

“strengthen the wings of our im¬
agination, and accustom them to
longer flights, substituting mil -
leniums for centuries.” It ^
most staggers us to think that
the Pyramids arc nearly twice as
old as the Ten Commandments;
and even this does not reach
back to the beginning of Egyp
tian civilization, to say nothing of
the pre-historic period.
Rev. Josiah Strong in a “Sur¬
vey of Egypt” says: “At the buil¬
ding of the Great Pyramid, near¬
ly six thousand years ago, Egypt
possessed a written language, a
grammar, a literature, a philo¬
sophical religion, a school of art,
a knowledge of mathematics and
the mechanical arts, an establish¬
ed hierarchy and a social system. ”
Probably the most interesting
and the most wonderful of the
arts of these ancient people is
the art of Embalming. This
custom grew out of a religious
belief that it was necessary to
preserve the body in order for
the deceased to attain to a per
feet immortality. It has been
was
practiced by the Egyptians for
at least 4,700 years, and during
that time no less than 731,000
000 human bodies were embalm¬
ed. Incredible as this may seem,
it is based upon reasonable data.
In 1881, twenty royal mummies
were discovered in a sepulchral
chamber in the mountain chain
west of the Thebes. They were
brought to the museum at Cairo.
Strange as it may seem, you may
look upon the features of these
Kings who reigned more than
three thousand years ago.
Among them is Siti I, the Pha¬
raoh whose daughter found Mo¬
ses in the bulrushes. Then;also
may be seen the face of Ins son,

It would be a strange article
Egypt that did not mention
the Pyramids. There are many
of I Imse along the banks of the
Nile, bui the largest and perhaps
the oldest is near Cairo It is
estimated that the greatest,
Cheops, is composed of 2,800,000
blocks of stone, each containing
about fifty cubic feet, most of
which were quarried on the op
posite side of the river. This
pyramid originally was 181 feet
high, and 481 feet at each side of
the base. Wg can get some idea
of its magnitude when we are
told that it took 100,000 men
twenty years to build it. How
they dul’it will perhaps boa puz¬
zle for the minds of the future as
it lias been for thousands of
years. As one stands there and
gazes upon those monuments and
reflects that Cleopatra. Mark
Antony and Alexander the Urea!,
Joseph and Jacob and Abraham
once saw t-heBe same pyramids,
it makes these characters won¬
derfully real.
Cairo is the principal city of
Africa, and lias a population of
570,000. Of these 80,000 are Eu¬
ropeans. Bo here one can see
Oriental life and environment
.orijovi.ng the, comforts oJ
modem hotels. The
prevailing religion is Moham¬
medanism, and the city is full of
some of which , . , are
mosques,
among the finest on earth.
We returned oy train to
Alexandria, a distance of about
two hundred miles. The Nile
valley through which we passed
is cut up by cauals from which
the people may be seen drawing
water for irrigation, just as they
did, doubtless, six thousand years
ago. Truly, the Nile has been
the bread and water of life for
the Egyptians. But for it, the
Libyan and Arabian deserts
would unite to blot out the land
of Egypt. This remarkable
river has no tributary for more
thdn a thousand miles before it
reaches the Mediterranean; and
notwithstanding the numerous
canals draining it for irrigation,
and supplying the daily needs of
10,000,000 people, to say nothing
of evaporation, its low water cur¬
rent pours into the Mediterranean
01,500 cubic feet of water every
second.
The city of Alexandria oceu
pies an important place in histo¬
ry. Here was the home of the
famous Alexandrian library.
Besides being the homo of other
famous personages, it was the
home of Barnabas and Apelles
and Mark, the author of the sec¬
ond Gospel.
Here we embarked fora voy
