My beautiful Two Lands, My beloved Kingdom. Evolution of Mankind... Ancient History, especially about all those kings who ruled before My Majesty. ART. Literature. Good conversations too.
I don't know what have brought you here, but even if it was only boredom or just curiosity, be welcome to the Ancient Egyptian God's Realm. My name is Laylah, once known as Hatshepsut Maa'Kare. Many centuries have passed, many changes in the world; the dreams of the ancient civilization only remain in our hearts - and in a few ruins all over the world… But it doesn't mean a thing in the end; some things never change, some things are always kept inside the souls… lest we forget the past.
~My daughters Neferure and Meryet; my beloved Senmut, love of all my lives. Those who helped me to save Neferure (Kameni and Merit-re).
Neferu-re...
Senmut...
Senmut and Neferu...
~ We still live in a world of chaos and wars, and only the names have changed. But I miss the old way of living, our traditions, those Gods come from nowhere to protect or fight Mankind. Many religions all over the earth, many promises and hopes… I cannot give you promises, but I can share my precious memories of the Old Times with you. I won't promise you Heaven, though I will tell you about Amenti and why a heart should feel weightless as a feather when it's the time for facing Anubis… I won't tell you about dying gods or broken dreams, because once upon a time our world didn't need them to evolve into a better one.
We still live in a world of chaos and wars… so we still have the same needs: to fight and to feel safe – knowing we are never alone. Some of us have remained, some of us have gone like a leave in the blowing wind… This is a place for those who know, or at least for those who once knew, about the Ancient Gods… for those who travelled across time and distances just looking for coming back HOME… to the Old Times, to the Age of Innocence.
So in the Name of my Father Amon I welcome you if you decide to stay, and give you my farewell if you decide to go away and never return… go in peace anyway. Maybe some time, if you feel the need of coming back HOME, we shall meet again…
Music amazes me. The sounds of tambourines and the Hathoric sistrum make my heart beat faster.... I adore those Nubian dancers, the way they shake their hips and clap their hands at the same time... I know Tutmose, my husband, loved the dancers as well. In fact, his second wife Iset (mother of Tutmes the Third) was nothing but a simple dancer... *sigh*
Movies..? What is it...? Sounds like something amazing but... I think I don't know that term yet! So I guess I shall have to use a mirror to contemplate Myself until movies are invented... :p
Television...! Oh, such amazing words you modern people have...! No I don't know about it either... yet! :)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
That Book you modern people call nowadays "The Book of the Dead"... Then "The story of Sinuhe" (the old one, not Mika Waltari's one!). "The teachings of Ptah-hotep" and "The teachings for Merikare" amaze Me, though I had to copy them once and again and again when I was studying at the KEP with the other royal children... *sighs* ~ "The eloquent peasant", a very good propagandistic work of art on Politics... "Prophecies of Neferty" are cool too ~ that king Ameny really rocks ;)

My Father Tutmes the First. My Mother Queen Ahmes... Queen Ahhotep.
Kamose. Ahmose and Ahmose-Nefertary. Imhotep. The Old Kingdom period Kings (Jafre, Menkaure, Jufu. I shall love King Ramesses the Second eventually, but He still has not been born right now (in My Dinasty, the 18th) so I shall have to wait for a while to know of Him ;)
