I just sit upon a writing desk, and write. And then, I tell stories. Legends of long ago.
The pyramids, then and now
Ancient Egypt splendour
Three towering tombs
Old world wonder
Secrets of the Pharaoh's doom
Machu Picu of the Incas
Lost forgotten civilisation
Wisdom of thousand years
Secrets of our existance
The famed Hindu candis
Of Mataram, Prambanan
The passionate Javanese
Secrets of lost kingdoms
Modern structure, 20th century
Fragile upon Le Louvre
Pei's pyramid in glass and steel
Secrets for our future
Les Pyramides
Egypte ancienne splendeur
Trois tombes imposantes
La merveille du monde
Les secrets du pharaon
Et Le Sphinx monte la garde
