Events and Cultural Issues
*It
is important to understand, there is no comparison
to any known ancient alphabet, culture, symbology
or artistic style. Not to mention that there is
NO mention of ANY culture OR civilization prior
to ancient Libyans in this area knowledgeable in
high technology and/or of masonry.
Currently
this region is enjoying an odd quiet period. The
Egypt & Libya border is a sparsely populated area
without much development since the end of World
War II. Of all the things Libya may be known for
might certainly be its leadership and the climate
that surrounds it and European contingents.
Egypt
has been expanding development in many areas and
suffers from power outtages due to high demand from
its citizens. Libya has been expanding new oil fields
off-coast as well as developing greener alternatives
on the land.
Both
nations live with the threat of extreme events fueled
by world terrorism. Challenges exist based on increasing
populations and increasing interactions with the
surrounding region.
