TJ, this is exactly how they envisaged it to be.

Keep the streets clean.

Civilize and integrate the outsiders.

It works. As long as the Nile river flows.

Why mention the Nile River??

4.500 years ago it was like that too. The dark skinned worked. The priests were served. The temples and Pyramids’ were constructed.

The dark skinned receive a ration of fish, onions, wheat and a kind of beer. Not the drink we have today but a fermented beverage.

The Nile poured water, fields were cultivated. Fish was taken from the river.

The number of dark skinned kept growing but the Nile started drying out.

That because -we know that today- all the ice deposited up stream in the highlands of Africa during the last glaciations slowly melted away and there was less and less water pouring down the Nile.

The dark skinned started feeling the pinch. The rations got smaller; the priests were still keeping their share of the goodies provided by the river.

One day the dark skinned revolted and burnt the cars and went in a rampage. They stopped constructing temples, pyramids no longer respected the priests and how do you call it exactly? TEOTWAWKI?

Yes, TJ, you're luck to go to a place at a time the water of the Nile is still flowing...
