Muhammad Ali, the eloquent, colorful, controversial and brilliant three-time heavyweight boxing champion who was known as much for his social conscience and staunch opposition to the Vietnam War as for his dazzling boxing skills, died Friday. The sports world and the whole world will mourn the passing of "The Greatest". This is my papercut portrait tribute to "the Greatest".

The use of two levels of domes gives a much greater sense of space than there actually is. The central dome rises on four arches standing on colossal piers. There are four semicircular domes around the central dome. There are four smaller domes on the corners as well. The domes are painted and embellished with motifs in relief. The walls and pillars are covered with alabaster up to 11 meters high...Taken @Cairo, Egypt
I've never been one to feign over rock stars, sports figures or movie stars and the like. Ali was the exception. From his Olympic Gold Medals to the lighting of the Olympic torch, I kinda grew up with this man. Dad admired his boxing skills while Mom admired his convictions. I admired both. He wasn't perfect. I didn't always agree with everything he said and did. But in the end, a gentle giant who devoted his life to peace and helping those less fortunate. He'll always be my hero and he'll always be
THE GREATEST.
And to the kid who stole his bike..."Thanks".
The Temple of Luxor was built mostly by Amenhotep III and embellished by later kings including Tutankhamun and Alexander the Great, but the most significant additions were made by Rameses II. These include the entrance pylon with its battle scenes of the Battle of Kadesh and six statues of himself, with four standing and the two nearest the entrance sitting (the Egyptian Archaeological Mission restored two statues of King Rameses in 2017 and 2018; one remains missing).
The base of the obelisk has baboons admiring the rising sun. Its sister obelisk was given by Muhammed Ali (generally acknowledged as the founder of modern Egypt) to the French. It has been displayed in the Place de la Concorde in Paris since 1836.
Rameses ll was the son of Seti I and Queen Tuya. As he lived until he was 96 years old, plenty of his statues survived. He had over 200 wives and concubines, and had 96 sons and 60 daughters.

some photoshop work on one of my favorites pics of Ali.. battling his long time rival Joe Frazier...
I great memories of sitting with my eyes closed listening to his fights over the radio (long before , cable TV, pay per view, or the internet, ) trying to image what every punch and movement looked like..
Casi cuadrado (de 54 metros por 53), tiene piso de mármol y está rodeado por arcadas redondeadas que soportan pequeñas cúpulas mediante grandes columnas de mármol, como en las mezquitas de Solimán Pasha y Malika Safiyya.
En medio del patio se encuentra la fuente de las abluciones. Es de forma octogonal y está cubierta por una cúpula de mármol y una cúpula de madera exterior, apoyada en ocho columnas de mármol y rematada por una marquesina de madera. La superficie interna de la cúpula de madera está decorada con pinturas de paisajes en estilo barroco.
En las fuentes de las abluciones es donde los musulmanes se purifican por medio del agua antes de cada una de las cinco oraciones diarias.
En el centro de la fachada oeste del patio se encuentra una pequeña torre hecha en cobre perforado que alberga el reloj obsequiado por el rey Luis Felipe de Francia a Muhammad Ali en 1846, a cambio de uno de los dos obeliscos que se erigían en la entrada del templo de Amón en Luxor, y ubicado hoy día en la Plaza de la Concorde, en París. Dicho reloj resultó dañado durante su instalación y nunca llegó a funcionar.

Built between 1830 and 1848, the long time it took to complete this monument may be due to its size, gigantic by Cairo's architectural standards. That, combined with its prominent location and its profile of domes flanked by a pair of slender high minarets, contribute to its prestige. The Egyptians themselves place a great deal of pride in this monument.
The pencil shaped minarets, over eighty meters high, stand on bases only three meters wide. Though the architecture of the mosque is entirely Ottoman, the domes are, relative to their width, higher and less squat than those in Istanbul..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
