	UNESCO Courier: A living eternity - ancient Egyptian art - The Transient and the Timeless
		The land of Egypt is, basically, a tabula rasa on which the course of the Nile, from south to north, and that of the sun, from east to west, provide the coordinates of an ideal map, which already existed before it was known to man. Geometry is not the fruit of reasoning alone.
		The mountain is an affirmation of all that the desert is not.
		As it lights up the mountain, the sun gives a shape to the dark polymorphous mass, and this first fashioning is indeed a "birth", a "coming to light" which is akin to the process whereby a notion comes to the mind of an artist.
