This phenomenon spans many fields... it's not any one field in specific. But for instance, when does anyone expect Nadia Al-Guindy or Nabila Ebeid to stop acting - or at least stop doing seductive roles at the age of 10,000? How about Adel Emam (with all due respect - anyone can over do it). Hussam Hassan! When will I stop hearing his name in association with soccer and perhaps in association with.. I don't know.. perhaps a home for the elderly (he IS elderly). Off course, our beloved governement is finally changing somewhat, but you still hear names that seem to be coming from the Pharaonic ages such as
Amal Osman or Safwat Al-Sherif... I mean, I can hardly believe that there an earthly power actually exists to remove someone like Kamal Al-Shazely, but still most of our ministers (even the new ones) have overstayed their welcome.
The examples are many - and I tried to find out why this phenomenon exists in our society. Off course, it was easy to note that our biggest role models are in heads of state: Abdel Nasser: 16 years in power; Sadat: 11 years in power; Mubarak: 24 years in power (this is the energizer bunny of Egyptian presidents).But an ideal so ingrained in our psyche can only originate from something more ever-lasting. I was walking around Giza, hands in my pocket, wondering where the inspiration for this permanence may come from. Then suddenly, I looked up and saw the source of inspiration. For 5000 years, the great Sphinx has provided inspiration for thousands of fame-seekers. There he sits, in all his majesty, with a smirk on his face that promises ages of presence in our midst.
We MUST destroy the Sphinx.

Amr, please I have one question. What is your preferred 7ALAWA kind?
Well
My friend is Rashidy Mizan's marketing manager. His name is Manaf. I can give you his number so that when I am in need of the Halawa you can get in contact with him!
Interesting theory...but i don't think it will work...We do not have such an inspiration near the capital city and still large percentages of our Parliament, University teacher, doctors and others belong elsewhere. But they hang on!
Well Elena, I prefer the scientific approach. This means we should destroy the sphinx first and then see what happens. There is a chance that the Sphinx is providing inspiration not only to our public figures, but perhaps for public figures around the world!
