About	This is the second of my series "Nubian Decorations", see also: http://www.usefilm.com/image/1064796.html The Nubians, who are believed to be one of the earliest civilizations on earth, were traditionally settled farmers whose villages always lay close to the Nile. Nubian houses are famed for their domes and beautiful painted facades. The Nubians originally developed the art of decorating houses as a way to prevent evil or counteract it, however much speculation now exists that the images were a form of cultural expression. Showing pride, prestige and a way to adorn the countryside. Nubian painted houses can still be found today and have taken on modern day themes in addition to remaining loyal to older traditional patterns.

Hi N3ma,
It's wonderful to hear from you again.
Actually I found those drawings in a summer camp for children in Giza called "Funyard" on the begining of the Cairo-Alexandria desert road.
It's a place where children can make new friends, get acquainted to the farm atmosphere, learn about new cultures as well as learning art and drama.
My regards N3ma, waiting to see your posts, regards,
Khaled.

This is a very nice one - I especially like the palm prints with names, gives it a very realistic touch!
