sirgalahad26: So what is it before? You think sey we do half the rituals these Muslims countries dey do? I mean no disrespect to Muslims but it's just the wey it is, Na so I talk am. For an Egyptian mummy to proceed into after-life based on their belief, they perform certain rituals oo, becos they belief you live on even after death. Pharaoh had magicians even in biblical days who will conjure anything. The shaving of pharaoh head, Isn't that ritual enuf? 1 Like |

junnyjake: That's the reason why we are the way we are in this country, always lazy to do anything and always allow things to be as they are while we pray to God to discover things or change things for us. We might have hundreds this stuffs under our grounds which can improve our tourism ministry but no creative ideas to look deep into our history. 4 Likes |

That is the disadvantage of occupation. They don't care whether the graves of the dead are desecrated because they don't have any relationship with them. The Chinese tried that here and they had to stop after they faced the wrath of the people. 2 Likes |
