Besides
\n Catapults, <\/a>another of the Dowbrigade’s adolescent fascinations was Ancient
\n Egypt. Today we tend to see Egypt as an interface
\n between European Enlightenment and Deepest, Darkest Africa and a sort
\n of Political Sphinx sitting in the Middle of the Middle East; not a democracy,
\n not a dictatorship, not a friend to Israel, not really an enemy either.<\/p>\n
\n world, the Europeans were living in caves and fighting with sticks. Facets
\n of the ancient world that captivated the young Dowbrigade? Secret burial
\n chambers in mountainous pyramids, the Serpent God Set, the birth of Monotheism

\n Hollywood kind.<\/p>\n
\n remarkable 3-year cooperative project to create a state-of-the-art virtual

\n life!<\/p>\n
