Every picture tells a story. This one is a serendipitous double-exposure of two different locations in Egypt shot by my wife Santha in the 1990's on 35mm film. In the foreground we see the Pyramid Texts in the tomb chamber of the Fifth Dynasty Pharaoh Unas at Saqqara. In the background, we see the Great Pyramid and the Second Pyramid of Giza.
