See more of my India Series here The ancient red door at the Agra Fort. The fort was built with red sandstone in 1565AD by emperor Akbar. Most of the underground passageways and doors are now locked, but behind them, lays so much mystery of centuries gone by.

ink drawing and golden digital colors-— / first-things challenge -ancient egypt wisdom music:—-—-- / Enchanted Egypt 1 / here is the very good description of user TertiusOculusOris / and the musicians / Title: Enchanted Egypt 1 / Album: Enchanted Egypt / Artist: Hossam Ramzy Phil Thornton / Year: 2004 “The first part of the title track. A short Qanun ‘Taqsim’ introduces an enchanting melody that is haunting and emotional. Based on the Wahda Kebira (meaning the Big One). The melody turns around several times, shifting to a 7/4 while the Accordion improvises in a solitary way to express feelings of yearning to the old and ancient knowledge that is long forgotten through the millennia.” ~The Musicians.
