Some Egyptian news roundup I found worth sharing:

* This is a New game that explores ancient Egypt.
* Some Americans says that Egyptian motifs are found throughout US culture, in everything from tattoos (the ankh and the eye of Horus are particularly popular) to the pyramid on the back side of the $1 bill and that towering obelisk, the Washington Monument, far taller than any ancient Egypt ever had.
* The Jewish Journal said that Egypt Shaked Jewish World. How? Well, a surprise move by Egypt, which � after years as the world�s primary supplier of the palm fronds that form the spine of the ritual lulav � said it no longer would provide the leaves to suppliers in the United States, Israel and beyond. The lulav is a palm branch from the date tree. It is one of the arba'ah minim (four species) used in prayer services during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
* On the human rights side, if Makarim Eldery becomes the first woman Islamists in Egypt�s parliament, she says she will defend the rights of women oppressed for their piety and challenge the view that political Islam oppresses her sex.
* Talking about woman in Egypt, this newspaper quotes a UN report, which states that 94 per cent of Egyptian women are victims of domestic violence. I could not find a copy of the report to confirm this. If anyone finds it, please send me the link.
