1982 album Get as Much Love as You Can Such beautiful melodic and hypnotic voices! Composed by Dexter Wansel and Cynthia Biggs LYRICS There's a sky in the east Over pyramids at Giza Where there once lived a girl She ruled the world Then down the nile He came with a smile He was the king She was the queen Under the moonlight Your eyes won't believe What your mind can't concieve Oooh Nights over Egypt Nights over Egypt Nights over Egypt Incense & myrrh And girls that swirl To the music Nights over Egypt Women fellahin Wear veils to been seen By no one Take a caravan across The sudan Saharan fagade Is just a mirage Oasis in the sand Where life once began Under the moonlight Your eyes won't believe What your mind can't concieve Nights over Egypt Nights over Egypt Nights over Egypt Nights over Egypt jazzysbag 3,348

"The foreign countries (ie. Sea Peoples) made a conspiracy in their islands. All at once the lands were removed and scattered in the fray. No land could stand before their arms: from Hatti, Qode, Carchemish, Arzawa and Alashiya on, being cut off [ie. destroyed] at one time. A camp was set up in Amurru. They desolated its people, and its land was like that which has never come into being. They were coming forward toward Egypt, while the flame was prepared before them. Their confederation was the Peleset, Tjeker, Shekelesh, Denyen and Weshesh, lands united..." (Egyptian inscription from the mortuary temple of Ramesses III in Medinet Habu)
