Quite a few years ago, but definitely on-line, I read a story/essay that basically was how an ancient Egyptian pharoh would probably react to all the (to him) magical and miraculous items of your average convenience store. Its point was pretty much how, in these modern times, the average American has access to luxuries that the God-kings of Egypt couldn’t even fathom. I know that isn’t much to go on, but I figure if anybody would know it, it would be dippers. Thanks in advance - DESK ---
