Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd

I'm sorry...I should have explained ancient Egyptian Wisdom Literature....that refers to the type of lessons and advice similar to that of Machiavelli, but this was in Pharaonic times in Egypt.
