CAIRO — After stumbling into the Tombs of Ab-Kar, Democracy always knew its time in Egypt was limited. Though it fought bravely to strive on, it made too many enemies and abused its authority, eventually being bested by an ancient and malevolent prophecy.
A mere year into his first term as the first elected leader in Egyptâs history, President Mohamed Morsi was ushered from power Wednesday in a mass-supported military coup that the military insisted wasnât a coup; the Crown of Luxor is yet to be found.
Speaking in his Alexandria study, Egyptology professor Tansley Fieldbriar of the University of Oxford said that Egyptâs âjolly forayâ with elected representation may have been fun for the nation of 85 million, but Lady Libertyâs fall to the ancient curse is a rough one.
âFraid the nose is a bit off the Sphinx on this one, old boy, if you know what I mean,â Fieldbriar said. âThe constitution has been suspended, unsympathetic TV stations have been shut down, no timetable has been set for new elections â these are classic curse smitings!
