Massage is one of the oldest body therapies recorded across many ancient civilizations including China, Egypt, Greece, India, Japan and Mesopotamia. Perhaps that’s because it doesn’t require much, only the hands of someone else. Its aim is to relax the body and rebalance the flow of energy. Some theories point to its roots coming from the social grooming practices of animals. Inscriptions at the Tomb of Akmanthor (also known as “The Tomb of the Physician”) in Saqqara, Egypt dating back to 2330 BCE depict two men having presumably massaging one another’s hands and feet. There are even primitive drawings of acupuncture points and meridians from the Neolithic (stone) Age of prehistoric China.

You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of the ancient Egyptians with their larger-than-life tombs and temples, their mighty kings and queens, and their pantheon of eccentric gods and goddesses. The legacy they have left behind is unparalleled and we’re still making new discoveries on an almost daily basis. But our history extends far beyond ancient Egypt and the pre-dynastic communities that once lived here have their own stories to tell.

The burning of the Library of Alexandria is one of those events that has been seared into the world’s collective memory, carrying with it a very important lesson about knowledge, power and loss. But things didn’t go down quite as we all think. The story of the great ancient library, and its downfall, is far more complex and nuanced than most people realize. And its resurrection many hundreds of years later might just offer us all a second chance at making up for our past neglect.

Just off the coast of Alexandria, beneath the Mediterranean waters, lie the remnants of two ancient cities, along with their gods, their stories and their secrets. The port towns of Heracleion and Canopus had been hidden from the world for over two thousand years, lost to the hungry sea, until their rediscovery less than a century ago. Now, they form the eerily silent setting for one of the world’s most unique museums.

The last of Cairo’s houseboats have been demolished or towed away this week, taking with them an important and iconic part of the city’s architectural and cultural heritage. Egyptian civilization has grown and flourished along the fertile banks of the river. For thousands of years, the Nile has been the lifeblood of the country, its beating heart, and for thousands of years, people have been using its banks to anchor their floating homes and secluded getaways. But the Egyptian houseboat is now too a thing of the past.
