She wasn't one hundred percent lost: there were definitely familiar names that her brain picked up like Horus and Bastet. She also thought that she could vaguely remember learning about the creation of a dam that created issues with preserving historic relics. If memory served that was the Aswan Dam, which was the largest dam at the world at the time? Maybe. It was murky half-knowledge salvaged from unused portions of her mind. But the rest was a complete mystery. Still, Mali did the best to bookmark a couple of terms in her head. They might be important. [color=D5FF00]"Uh this one,"[/color] Mali picked up the romance novel, [color=D5FF00]"Was actually because the cover grabbed my attention for whatever reason. On second thought, I'm not sure if I'm even going to enjoy it, but might as well give it a try now that I've got it. Rising Dragon was actually one of my favorite books in 7th grade, so seeing it again brought back a wave of nostalgia. It's been years since I've read it, so I figured there's no harm in revisiting an old favorite." "And this last one has more to do with my academic background than anything."[/color] Mali patted the decidedly larger (at least in height and width) book. [color=D5FF00]"I suppose you could call me a Historian-in-Her-Free-Time, so I picked out a book closer to my tastes and strong suits when it comes to cerebral pursuits. I'm not really all that educated on Ancient Egypt, but since you have so many books on the subject I figured there was no harm in expanding my knowledge base when given the opportunity."[/color]
