""Ruins of Empires""
"Those piles of ruins which you see in that
narrow valley watered by the Nile, are the
remains of opulent cities, the pride of the
ancient kingdom of Ethiopia.
There a people, now forgotten, discovered
while others were yet barbarians, the
elements of the arts and sciences. A race
of men now rejected from society for their
sable skin and frizzled hair, founded on
the study of the laws of nature, those
civil and religious systems which still
govern the universe."
Conti Rossini
Volney
