I love that you brought up Egypt because when I was there recently for the first time

the creations are just so big and grand and symmetrical and perfect that you you know a lot of people

go there and they try to figure out how it was made or why they did it but going there for the first time I couldn't even worry about any of those questions I just had to have that feeling of awe and it makes you feel like possibilities are endless.

You know, it's very inspiring.

Whereas when you look at the opposite of that, I would say like a modern city

where everything is very like cheaply built.

Everything is kind of temporary,'s built you know as quickly and as

efficiently as possible with the cheapest materials available and it it makes you

feel kind of like temporary and cheap and like you're meaningless.
