Baking Egyptian bread

These women are making Egyptian bread at a hotel resort on the highway between Cairo and Alexandria. No one in the hotel including the hotel manager or the waiters could under English so we called Mr. Bassem in Cairo and ordered what we want to him on the mobile phone .He in turn spoke to the waiter. We had to exchange the mobile several times because the hotel did not have what we wanted and had to decide on alternatives

When this temple was reconstructed every care was taken to duplicate this phenomena by modern scientists and engineers.
