PICs from the Louvre museum

Today I discovered a lot of the humanity aspects that I’ve never thought about before, and from what I discovered I can conclude that humanity didn’t progress that much after all.

Walking (almost lost in the time/history) in the Louvre museum today, it was a great opportunity to discover the ancient civilizations and especially: ancient Egyptian.

For example, before 4000 years from now, the ancient Egyptians had games like dames and dices, the writing on the stones, paper etc etc.. I was not so impressed by the new pieces of art, the Mona Lisa for instance, as I was by the old ones, and by old I mean Thousands of years B.C.

Actually I touched some of the sarcophagus in there, I wanted to see how it feels to touch something which was made 4000 years from now (and actually touched by someone from that era), I can’t tell how it feels, but let’s hope no mummies will attack me tonight :).

Here are some shots I took while I was there:

The Dark Ages or The Golden Ages?

In a previous post entitled Till When, I talked about how the Muslim civilization had a great impact on the the world and science as we know it today.
And because a picture is worth a thousand words, I invite you to watch the following video about few of the great Muslim savants who had a big impact on the modern science.

"Take a look... if you dare!"



I invite you also to check the 1001 Inventions website, it has priceless resources about the subject : http://www.1001inventions.com/ .
Thanks to @cyounes for mentioning the video first on his blog http://www.cyounes.com/.

The Other Face of Algiers | الوجه الآخر للجزائر (العاصمة)

I saw this video on the M6 French channel some time ago, and I was totally shocked by the fact that such (inappropriate) places exist in Algeria. Other than the drugs and alcohol that was also the subject of the documentary, I wanted to focus on the point where teenagers are getting the *WRONG* way to enjoy their time.

Watch the video, and if you see this just fine in the traditions, please enlighten me, because it seems that I still live with ideas from the 12th century. What shocked me more, is that parents just take their children there and leave to come back and take them in the afternoon.

I have a question, why such clubs are so damn isolated? And just listen to that girl saying : “each girl dream about passing her driving license, having her car, house.. that’s what we want, we live for this…”, please allow me to say WTF!!! is that the future in the vision of the next (or my) generation?

The video has content that might be not suited to be viewed with/by anyone, so enjoy, and tell me what do you think. And if you live in Algiers, have you ever heard about such parks/clubs?

#Gaza freedom march today in Paris [PICS]

As planned, the march was supposed to start at 14h from La Place De La République to Israel’s Embassy, but of course it was not allowed, so it stopped just in Opéra.

Here are some pictures of the event, mainly it was successful because a lot of Parisian / foreign tourists assisted and saw the slogans that were hold during the march.

برز الثــــعلب يوما في ثياب الواعظــــين

برز الثــــعلب يوما في ثياب الواعظــــين

يمشى في الأرض يهدى ويسب الماكرين

و يــــــقول الحمـــــد لله إلــــه العالمــــين

يا عبـــــاد الله توبوا فـهو كهف التـــائبين

وازهـــــدوا فإن العيش عيش الزاهـــدين

و اطلبوا الديك يؤذن لصلاة الصـــبح فينا

فأتى الديك رسولا من إمـــــــام الناسكين

عرض الأمر عليه و هو يرجــوا أن يلينا

فأجاب الديك عذرا يا أضـــل المــــــهتدين

بلغ الثعلب عني عن جدودي الصــــالحين

عن ذوى التيجان ممن دخلوا البطن اللعين

أنهم قالوا و خير القـــول قول العارفيــــن

مخطئ من ظـــن يومـــا أن للثــــعلب دينا
