ha ha minder mig om et skilt jeg selv så i nærheden af memnon-kolossen. Skiltet stod ca midt i en losseplads og havde den friske påskrift:
DO NOT LITTER!
de er skøre de egyptere
The English in the KV sign might sound a bit better as: “Contemplate the greatness of our ancestors.” But it still wouldn’t excuse the dreadfully unnecessary sign it’s printed on, especially when contemplation is the last thing anyone is able to do there nowadays.
