Steve Rhodes, welcome home. Well, thank you. Thank you. It was a great journey. I bet it was. Yeah, you know, we did pretty amazing things. We visited, we were in Egypt, Greece. In Greece, we were in Athens and Santorini. In Italy, we were all over the place. We were in the Walfi Coast. Yeah. We were in Florence. We were in Venice. We were in Lake Como. We were in Milan. Sweet. So it was pretty packed. But, you know, just a couple, just kind of the highlight reel for you. The very first, so it took about 30 hours to get from here in Palm Beach to to where we were going in Cairo. OK. And we landed about two or three in the morning. The very first site that we saw, and it was very busy. Well, it's two or three in the morning. We're like, what's everybody doing out? Yes. But that's just simply the way it is. The very first site that we came across was the citadel of of Saladin, which goes back to the 13th to 19th century. For 700 years, the rulers of Egypt were in this, you know, this fortress, so to speak. But really cool, you know, just goes back to 1176. All of a sudden, you realize, and then you went from Paul Beach, Florida. You know, really, you're in Cairo, Egypt. That's crazy. Right. Oh, look at that picture again here. Put that picture. Oh, my God. Yeah, gigantic. Wow. Just a gigantic fortress out there. So that's the first thing that we saw. OK. Get to the hotel room. We tried to get a little bit of sleep. Six hours later, we're back on the road. And the very first thing that we went to was the oldest mosque in Egypt. So I wanted to do as much as we could, the oldest yeah, types of things. You know, try to get back to the beginning as much as we could. So we said we said a nice prayer in this mosque. From here, we then went to visit a church called Abu Surga. And it's the cave where supposedly Jesus and Mary sought refuge for three months. So it's in really good condition. The lower left is actually a part of the original floor. It's I mean, it's the floor just with glass over it so that you can really see what, you know, what that supposed, what that where Jesus and Mary actually. Yes. So that was kind of cool. It's actually one of the oldest churches in in Egypt. And then we visited the site where supposedly baby Moses was plucked from the Nile. Now, OK, this red arrow, Tom, yeah, is really where this synagogue is located. And what they're telling us is that the Nile River has changed substantially over the last 5,000 years and actually backed right up to to that spot. OK, so it's pretty cool within like the first six hours. We're seeing all of this stuff. Man, you invested in twisting. That's cool, man. Wow. Yeah. And it just really makes you think, you know, you just stop for a moment. So we said prayers everywhere. Yeah. And then the very next day, we did some other things during that day. But then the very next day, we were off to the pyramids. Now, I haven't done any history, any background check in on Egypt. Well, I was surprised. There's over 100 pyramids throughout all of Egypt. I just thought there were just a handful. Yes, you know, you know, which are basically the burial grounds for pharaohs or some of the kings out here. This pyramid, which is called, I might pronounce it incorrectly, Dozier was built during the Third Dynasty. This is the oldest complete stone building complex ever built in history. So that was kind of cool to go back to that. So, yeah, let me let me get this straight because that one that you're just looking at, right? We're we're right now in 2023. But that said, that was before before Christ of 2630. Exactly. You just start to add the numbers. You're like, I know, OK, this is this is really history out here. Oh, yeah. We went to this pyramid. This is called the red pyramid. The only reason it's called the red pyramid or a reason why it's called the red pyramid is depending on the sun, the way that it hits it. It has this little red reflection because of the stones that were actually used, their limestone that was used there. This was built between 2575 and 2551 before what they used there before the common era. So you're really going back in time. And if you take a look at this red arrow, it's about it's the actual entrance is about three quarters of the way up. It's a good halfway to three quarters of the way up. So we walked up there. It looks like this. You can kind of see a little bit of a path and then you see, you know, and then it gets kind of a little weird. This is my wife. I've actually got a picture of her coming. So you have to walk up. It's not a simple walk, Tom. It is a walk. I bet. And then you've got to walk all the way down, bent down the entire way, take it all the way to the burial ground inside the bottom of the inside the bottom of the pyramid. Wow. The problem with this pyramid is there are a lot of bats that it got in there. So the bat crap, if you will, smelled a lot like iodine. So we we only got like halfway down. We had to turn around. Just you're just worried about right. You know, it's it's stone. It's cement. You fall, you know, it's not going to be easy. No, yeah. But one of the coolest sites, I would say, of everything that we saw in Egypt, one of the coolest sites that we saw, Tom, was this. This is when we were coming out of the old area of pyramids, the first ones that we saw. And what I noticed off to the side was that there was a new ruin. This ruin has been discovered over just simply the last about year and a half, maybe two years, but just in the last two weeks. And this is where they think that this is a burial ground. They pulled out to Sargopagus or Gopaga, I guess you'd call them. Yeah, the first mummy that they found was a man that was completely covered in layers of gold. We saw mummies where they're actually supposedly you could actually still see some of the hair. Wow. It's insane. I know. But this was so what was cool about this was we were in basically a place where you had the oldest pyramids, the experimental pyramids, you know, that they used. And then they're coming across new findings out there. Right. Who knows what is underneath that desert sand that's out there. Finally, we made it to the great pyramids in the Sphinx. And that was certainly cool. The rocks there are just gigantic. The boulders that they use to make this thing. It's truly an amazing thing. Then from there, and this was kind of cool, we went on to Athens. And so this is a view from my room. OK. And you can see the Acropolis up top. You can see the Parthenon up here. But the reason I took this picture was about five in the morning for four thirty five in the morning was it was the only way that I could get a picture of the full moon coming up at that. Acropolis, right? And seeing the new with the old is pretty cool. That's crazy. Oh, yeah. No doubt. You know, so very cool places out there. It shows how small we are, man. Holy cow. No doubt. And how smart people were back then. Five thousand years ago and building those things. Right. Wow. So there's a lot of folks that have talked about the idea, the thoughts that, you know, they were made by space aliens or what have you. I can tell you, by personally walking down into some of these things, the hieroglyphics, the painting that's on there, the inconsistencies between one place and another. This is all this is man made. Right. I don't I don't buy into that theory. But after that, Tom, we were off to Santorini. I think you've been to Santorini. This is called a Scarlet Rock out here. It's a real landmark. This also is another gigantic hike. But the cool thing about this, like, is when you get to it and you go all the way to the back, you've got a church that's just hanging off, in essence, the side of the cliff. Yeah. It is the coolest thing. Coolest spot to see. So we didn't get to the market. Sorry about that. But this is more important. What a great trip to go back. I'm so happy you did this for us. Tom, here's the best thing. I had lunch with one of our traders, M.U.K. The Tigers Den in Florence, Italy. I love it. How cool is that? The Tigers and Tigers like growling and prowling all over the place. Absolutely. You have a great one. A safe one. We look forward to speaking to you tomorrow, Steve. Thanks, Tom. Thank you. Bye-bye. Stay right there, folks. Come right back.
