When they are coming your way fast, you only have a split second to ask yourself about each, Is this the look of a Pharaoh, or of the Seated Scribe, or of the Lector Priest Kaaper, or of Queen Nefertiti or Princess Nofret, or of the Lady Tiye or Seneb and his Wife Senetites and their two Children? They say the Arabs brought their language to Egypt but little of their blood. You can see this in their faces, or you think you can when you walk on Mu’izz li-Din Street near Bab Zuweila and they are shouting at you, Baalik!, Baalik!, Your Attention, Pay Attention!
