The temples of Damanhur

Damanhur is the capital of Beheira Governorate in Delta in Egypt , it is a famous city with a very long history yet the temples I am going to speak about are not there in fact they are not in Egypt at all ,they are in Italy ,in the foots hill of the Alps
A wonderful amazing complex of temples are made underground that used to unknown for most of the humans on the surface of this earth are considered by the Italian government as the eighth wonder of the world , it is the eighth wonder of the modern world for sure , oh yes they are not ancient temples from the Roman era dedicated to Isis and called Damanhur
Be shocked they were made in the 2nd half from the 20th century since year 1978 to year 1991 ,they were graved based upon one man's dreams or paranormal visions with the help of people around the world who believed him
It can be considered a sort of a cult still they do not worship a specific God or a prophet more the Damanhurians as they are called in Italy believe in international Peace and that humans are all equal. "Still I believe it is some sort of a cult" Regardless of what they believe in and regardless of why their leader made them they are great piece of arts that show how the man can do wonderful things
These temples from 1978 to 1991 where built in silence , the Italian government did not know their existence and when it knew it seized them under its control
I guess your so anxious and curious to see them
Well Click below on the following
The real Damanhurians by the way in Egypt are very intelligent that we got a native proverb that say "I would rather deal with 100 crock but not with a Damanhurian - ميت نورى و لا دمنهورى" by the way they are not bad , we got tons of Cairian proverbs that make fun of or attack other areas in Egypt , this nothing compared to the Monufia 's proverbs or Alexandria proverbs
The most famous Damanhurian in Egypt is Professor Ahmed Zowail

      V. interesting post. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I never knew this existed. Fascinating even if it is quite cultish. Still the artwork is so intricate, detailed and breathtaking.

      Have you been to Damanhur lately. Very depressing place to visit, as is most of Beheira. Poverty there is extreme, worst in all of Egypt. Not surprised that the young men that drowned while heading to Europe were from Beheira and Kafr El Sheikh.

      nope sorry you can't compare the deluxe lifestyle of cairo to damanhour. Get on a train and get out of cairo and get off at damanhour and see just how really poor the people are there. something tells me you live a nice lifestyle: ipod, laptop, vacations on the North coast and probably private school or university. you may be as removed from the poor masses as the egyptian government for all we know. Until you have gone to beheira then comment on how much poorer it is or isn't compared to the rich cairenes.
