Crows represented faithful love, as people of the ancient world observed, they were monogamous. Horapollo wrote that when the Egyptians wished to show the union between Aries, the God of war, and Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, they drew images of crows.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Today, The Wall of the Crow (Heit el-Ghourab) stands forgotten, obscured by the impressive monuments on the Giza Plateau. Long before the Great Pyramids or the Sphinx, this Neolithic wall was built as a gateway to the afterlife. The wall is 656 feet long, 32.8 feet high, and 39 feet thick at the base. In the center is the gate, with a massive lintel stone believed to weigh 300 tons. It is the largest single stone in the Giza complex. The gateway was important to the ancients, but its meaning has been lost. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 4500 years ago, the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx were built \u003cbr\u003e and Raven began gloating. ....\u003cbr\u003e He loved to remind the New Sphinx that \u003cbr\u003e the Wall of Crow was older \u003cbr\u003e He loved to belittle the New Pyramids by \u003cbr\u003e flaunting his wall’s massive stone.\u003cb\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eRead about the Wall of Crows here: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/larryvienneauprints.blogspot.com\/2016\/08\/the-wall-of-crows-heit-el-ghurab.html\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003ehttps:\/\/larryvienneauprints.blogspot.com\/2016\/08\/the-wall-of-crows-heit-el-ghurab.html\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raven - Prints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50545017487660,"sku":"","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/3806\/1868\/files\/UjWahVZcg5.jpg?v=1738538299","url":"https:\/\/artisan-co-op.myshopify.com\/products\/raven-belittles-the-pyramids-and-sphinx-etching-5-inch-x-7-inch","provider":"Artisans Cooperative","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
