May 20th 2026, Heroes here are not just me but the people. The people drive by me curious to see me. But they don't know what im doing. Several months ago when I realized what was here. I decided to contact the government hopefully in time they will get ahold of me.

The wonder is what time has me to find what I need. I have alot of it. But between the days I have and the days I want to have. Are two likely subjects of finding. Today I found both. But in ulterior motives we just found something pretty amazing. Again. Not only does the mountain reflect the art. The images of the people are reflecting back. From the the stages of Hirn and what we cut into the rock.

The other is a rock the other one is a relic. These two I found this day are usually about where I need to go. I made justification of where based on the settlement and the village expansion of Wadi Rum to pick them up.

The relic and the other one is a small sculputre of the Sphinx which is actually known as The Gift to the West. The greastest display here is the sum of education of what we need to talk about what is the resolution of the stone wall that says the saying In heaven birth is given to those who wait. ... which I believe means if your beautiful heaven is already here around you.
I think the stereo epiphany here is that the congratulations is for myself to tell you that this art matches no other art accept Egyptian art.

This is a pulitzer for me for this proves without the other marks. That this a officially a Egyptian site.

May 14th 2026, Creating alot of ground study led me to the research of the phenomenon of the golden hour. The rocks seem to come alive and almost create symphony of stories that were there but were not alive like they were a hour ago.

May 14th 2026, High on the mountain from the point of the view of Ayeds house is a story of me and my longing to explore even in the heat and from here sometimes I take pictures. But my exploring might be limited until the winter and thats the fall and winter. The story sheet is the photo I took represents the story I've been telling the whole time this is a developmetnal front of the Sphinx and the story of how it became the story of Egypt and the Gift of the West. The story of choosing likes and dislikes of art. Here in this photo is a subtle idea but its not. They are discussing the direction of the face and which makes the most ideas of them to enter the future. The say the story of our heart here is good but lets change but the focus on the face is good now but lets change again this is telling a future of where they are at the focus now is the front of the face but the story its the direction they are seeing it. And now they are saying that the front looks good from the side and to devevlop this.

May 8th 2026, The desert didn't mind me going through this ideology to find this but I don't think the desert cares. I found it just to find the story of myself. But I had already done it. Im going to take two walks here in the future one is to the mountain and two is to the door of my life to find the story I need to find. And that story is finding me right here in Wadi Rum there is so much art and rocks to look at the story me and the Bedouin here.
