Just think. He was alive once. And he looked up at the blue sky. He saw the waters of the Nile. He saw his mother and his father. He watched people walking and riding in chariots. He was alive once and buried once and put on exhibition forever.
Amazing tale.
It's amazing that this boy was once the ruler of a very powerful nation.History is one of the most interesting subjects in life.
