Not really...but I find Egyptology fascinating none the less. I did a lot of projects on the subject when I was in grade school...went to the Rosicrucian Museum, which is about an hour or so away from my home.
On the subject of Nile though (I know this is a bit off topic, but since we're talking about Nile), I was having a discussion about them the other day while picking up a few CD's (new Dark Tranquility and Incantation, both excellent). I was saying that Nile's drummer is so awe inspiring in his proficiency on drums that it can actually lull you into boredom. Insane? Maybe...in a perfect world you would just sit there and listen to it forever and be equally as impressed as the first second you hear it. However, I've noticed that instead you tend to hear the drumming and after a few minutes when you pick up your jaw off the floor...it's sort of "Ok, you impressed me, now show me something else". Which is a pretty unrealistic response, but it's just so damn good that it desensitizes you...like little kids watching violent movies to the point where nothing grosses them out or shocks them anymore.
Well, just my opinion...hope no one sees it as a bash on Nile...because really all I'm saying is the drumming is so incredible that it just blows your mind and makes all rational thought impossible.
