Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians believed that life on earth was an illusion and that reality began after death, under the earth, where the bodies of the dead remained. Deep in the sand, amidst the ever-changing sand dunes, the edges of the pyramids lie buried without any recognizable foundation. Digging seems futile. Or is it the underworld that is growing up through the surface?
