Folks, thank you all for your gracious comments.
Time to talk, or rather show, the stones!! That was all it was about.
They remain to tell the tale. Of good times and bad. Of glory and defeat.
The stones..as sole witness to the inevitable..
From the Greeks, to the Romans..The Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans; From
The traders, the caravans, the armies..nothing remains but the stones..
Jadoo, says my grandson..we have seen it before. Yes I say. In Greece and
then in Rome. The Stones in Egypt and Jordan. Why is it always the same
story? I keep silent.
