The Ames room

I discovered the ames room 2 months ago when I was on Instructables.com.

The basic idea is to make objects or people moving in the room appear as if they got bigger or shrinked. I decided to make a cardboard model according to this instructable and share it with you.



The King has moved!

This statue has been around for thousands of years, it never suffered as much deterioration as much as in the last 50 years... You can guess what we Cairo citizens hold in our lungs and skins... Poor Ramses II and poor us!!

Ramses before the trip

At 10:30 PM, two and a half hours before moving, in the cab on my way to spend the night at a friend who lives next to Ramses Square..

We went 5 minutes late and when we arrived the crowd was cheering (and some crowd it was!) and the king had already started to move

Moving

Going....

Moving 2

Going ...

Ramses II is gone

Gone..

I actually thought it would be moved slower.. it seemed to have taken 15 minutes for this distance, but may be it was the excitement that made it seem so short..

More photos to come later of the crowd, the people on the 6th of October bridge and the funny stories we heard.. One guy was actually waving in the street and screaming "Maa el salama ya Ramsis!" (Goodbye Ramses!)

It looks so comfy, no??

Time to confess.. the artsy style

I came across this site while reading design blogs (Can't remember where exactly!)
come clean
It's very intersting, turn the volume up and give it some time to load, you won't regret it!

A “First Love” story.. written on the walls

I came across these in the ground floor of a building under construction today as I was walking, I just had to capture them

This seems like a family..

And this is one love story..

This seems to be the same story.. R & A

God is Love

Note the inscription under the rose "God is love" and underneath another one " The first love"
It's so cute!

Hymn to Isis

Because I am the first and the last
I am the venerated and the scorned
I am the whore and the saint
I am the wife and the virgin
I am the mother and the daughter
I am the arms of my mother
I am the sterile one, and my children are many
I am the well-wed and the spinster
I am the one who gave the light and the one who never gave birth
I am the wife and the husband
And it was my man who bore me in his belly
I am the mother of my father
I am the sister of my husband
And he is my rejected son
Respect me always
Because I am the scandalous and the discreet.

The hymn to Isis discovered in Nag Hammadi, scholars claim was written between the 3rd and 4th centuries of our age
