This video contains historical images of #Egypt in the 1800's. You can tell they've done a lot of work to display the sites for tourists.

Quote Some of the Oldest Photos of Egypt, before the restoration of Egyptian Temples, before unburying the Sphinx, and before Mcdonalds and Pizza Hut popped up in Giza 😉

Ancient Egypt was an incredible place and a really important part of humanity's history, so it's a pleasure to bring you this research and I hope you enjoy each of these historical pictures.

You'll see rare and historic images of Egyptian #Temples, the Egyptian #Pyramids, the #Giza Plateau, the Great #Sphinx and #ncient Egyptian #Statues and Artifacts. Kudos to the Archaeologists who spent the painstaking time to reconstruct this era of Ancient #History into what we see today, block by block, piece by piece.

#TEMPLE OF THE #64 #YOGINIS / #DAKINIS & #TANTRA
#Kama translated from #Sanskrit broadly means #Desire. #Sutra means #aphorism.

"The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text which, is considered the primary Sanskrit work on human sexuality. It was written by Mallanaga Vatsyayana in the 2nd century CE. The Kama Sutra is a part of a greater treatises on Dharma, Artha, & Kama (Virtue, Wealth & Desire respectively) as constituent elements of a path to achieve Moksha (liberation). It treats the subject of a Courtesean with some depth. The Kama Sutra is ahead of its time in the way it approaches, contextualizes, and describes how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life’s beauty. From CHAPTER II, OF THE WAYS OF EXCITING DESIRE, AND MISCELLANEOUS EXPERIMENTS, AND RECIPES of the Kama Sutra, translated by Richard Burton

‘Thus have I written in a few words the “Science of love”, after reading the texts of ancient authors, and following the ways of enjoyment mentioned in them.’

‘He who is acquainted with the true principles of this science pays regard to Dharma, Artha, Kama, and to his own experiences, as well as to the teachings of others, and does not act simply on the dictates of his own desire. As for the errors in the science of love which I have mentioned in this work, on my own authority as an author, I have, immediately after mentioning them, carefully censured and prohibited them.’

From my explorations (and I’m open to signs pointing otherwise), the Kama Sutra and Khajuraho are not obviously connected besides both subjects not excluding sexuality. However, I am intrigued by the connection between the temple of 64 Yoginis/Dakinis, Chapter III – On the study of the 64 arts in the Kama Sutra, and connections with the Temple Arts. Explorations to be continued in a future post."
