Copy right London Grammer “ hey now “ Nestled in the heart of the Aegean Sea, Skopelos is a Greek island where pine forests meet turquoise waters — and where time seems to slow down. It’s often called “the greenest island in the Aegean”. Over 80% of Skopelos is covered in lush forest, much of it pine — earning it official recognition as a “green and blue” island. Despite its fame as a filming location for Mamma Mia, Skopelos has no airport. You can only reach it by ferry — which keeps it peaceful, quiet, and less commercial than nearby Skiathos.

Copyright : “lost soul “by Bliss Columns Were Made to Look Like Plants Egyptian columns weren’t just plain stone—they were designed to look like plants from the Nile, especially papyrus, lotus, and palm trees. The idea? Temples were like re-creations of the primeval swamp from the beginning of time, where life first emerged. So walking into a temple = walking into creation itself. 2. Each Column Was a Mini Story Columns were covered in hieroglyphs, images of gods, and pharaohs’ achievements. They weren’t just decoration—they were propaganda machines. The pharaoh was like: “Let me build a 20-foot tall column just to brag about defeating the Nubians.” 3. Some Columns Had Giant Cow Faces In temples dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love, joy, and music, you’d find columns topped with her face. Imagine a stone column with a smiling cow-faced goddess staring at you from all sides. Kinda cute… kinda intimidating. 4. The Hypostyle Hall Was a Forest of Stone The Karnak Temple in Luxor has the largest hypostyle hall in the world, with 134 massive columns, some over 20 meters (66 feet) tall! Walking through it feels like being in a stone forest. Some Egyptologists think it was meant to mimic a sacred grove 5. No Two Columns Are Exactly Alike Despite looking symmetrical, many temple columns have unique carvings. Artists left personal marks or made adjustments based on the stone’s flaws. Sometimes they even made mistakes, and just carved over them. 6. Some Columns Were Painted in Wild Colors Today we see dusty sandstone, but back then, columns were painted in bright reds, blues, greens, and gold. The temples were a riot of color, especially in sunlight. Some fragments of this paint still survive today.

Copyright : “lost soul” by Bliss Some statues, especially from the Middle Kingdom, had inlaid eyes made of crystal, stone, or even obsidian. This was done to make the statue more lifelike — they believed the eyes were the “windows to the soul” and helped the ka to “see.” Some larger statues (like those at Abu Simbel) have hollow interiors or hidden chambers. Symbolism also played a big role — for example, crossed arms on Osiris statues symbolized resurrection, and certain headdresses indicated the god or king’s power. Later pharaohs would recycle statues of their predecessors by chiseling out the old names and carving in their own. This saved effort — and also made it look like they’d built or donated more than they actually had.

Copyright Bliss „ lost soul „ Egyptian temples are covered in bizarre engravings and hieroglyphs—like ancient Instagram stories, but with more gods and fewer filters. There’s a wild variety of hieroglyphs and carvings in Egyptian temples—from sacred symbols to strange scenes that still baffle historians today. Ancient Egyptian temples are basically stone storybooks filled with weird hieroglyphs and carvings—half history, half mystery, all drama.

The Island of dreams - in the 1960s a holiday resort with 52 hotel rooms and 46 bungalows, with a nightclub, tennis court and its own beach. Bureaucratic pitfalls and the financial crisis forced the owner to give up. Since then, the area has been languishing and has been the target of vandals, lost place fans and graffiti artists. We can only hope that one day potential investors can create a paradise again on this beautiful piece of island. It looks like a haunted place and it is scary.
