Shoshenq I
No trace has yet been found of the tomb of Shoshenq I – which makes me very happy.

WOW, Sophie this one comes right out of the screen, spins you around and dips you into a place that I cannot quite explain yet…

Sometimes words are not needed Tammy! I feel happy that whatever treasure is buried in his tomb will remain in Egypt! There has been enough plunder. Isha Schwaller de Lubicz who, under the direction of her husband and teacher, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, lived for fifteen years among the temples and tombs of Luxor and Karnak, in order to try and penetrate the secret symbolism of the hieroglyphs. Amongst her extensive knowledge she translated teachings and proverbs…..I enclose one for you….............................
All is within yourself. Know your most inward self and look for what corresponds with it in nature. Wise words written so long ago and still ring true today!Sx

Sophie Shapiro replied
Paul, I’m so pleased you like this painting! It became apparent when I finished it as to who it was which always makes me feel happy! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I’m a bit behind on comments as my dog has been very unwell this week! She is very much better today and even watched me paint. I wish you a wonderful weekend and will visit you tomorrow!Sx

I hope and pray that Shoshenq I’s tomb is never found aswell Sophie. The plundering of other sacred tombs has always disturbed me.
This is very special
