And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Graf Zeppelin over the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, 1931
The only way this picture makes sense is if it was taken from the Great Pyramid of Giza looking southwest at the shorter Pyramid of Khafre with the much smaller Pyramid of Menkaure above and just to the right of the second man's head. Al_in_Ottawa
The following photograph, available via the Library of Congress and attributed to the Keystone View Company, shows three men watching the Graf Zeppelin as it approached the pyramids: Title: The Graf Zeppelin's rendezvous with the eternal desert and the more than 4,000 year old pyramids of Gizeh, Egypt Summary: Three men sitting on a hill near one of the great pyramids with desert in background and the Graf Zeppelin in the sky.
Q: why are the pyramids in Egypt?
ReplyDeleteA: because they wouldn't fit into the British Museum.
👆🏻He’s right, you know.
DeleteYou know the only thing to stand on to get that photo is another pyramid. There wasn't a lot of tall or high in Egypt back in 1931.
