Amenophis III
  ❤
 
 Romans 10:10
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”  
 
 
 
"The delicate, almost feminine face representation of the great builder, Amenophis III.
The eyes and eyebrows formerly embedded with colored stones and the finely traced lips of his graceful portrait carved in obsidian have inspired much comment.
Among the many creations of King Amenophis III are the temples of Amun in Karnak and Luxor, the Colossi of Memnon, the Amenophium (since destroyed) and his vast tomb in the Valley of the Kings."~~~
Henri Stierlin

"A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies."
     




"This book, though complete in itself, is the second in a series of volumes which I am writing about the Spanish empire. The first volume was Rivers of Gold, published in 2003. I am now at work on a third volume which takes the extraordinary story to 1580, when Spain ceased to expand her responsibilities. King Philip II decided in that year not to try to conquer China." ~~~HUGH THOMAS: The Golden Age. The Spanish Empire of Charles V , PREFACE

Testis fidelis non mentitur; profert autem mendacium dolosus testis. 5. El testigo verdadero no miente; el testigo falso dice mentiras. Il testimone fedele non mentisce, ma il testimone falso proferisce menzogne. Un témoin fidèle ne ment pas, Mais un faux témoin dit des mensonges. Ein ehrlicher Zeuge sagt immer die Wahrheit aus, ein falscher Zeuge verbreitet Lügen. Правдивый свидетель не станет лгать, а лживый свидетель дышит ложью.
