The Lost Pyramid of Giza: Was There Once a Fourth, Black Pyramid?
Shadows Over the Plateau The Giza Plateau. A sacred horizon of stone and mystery. The Great Pyramid stands in silent defiance of time, flanked by Khafre and Menkaure, rising like ancient sentinels under the desert sun. They are the crown jewels of Egypt’s past, familiar, majestic, and endlessly studied. But for centuries, whispers have echoed across the sands: What if the story of Giza is not complete? What if, long forgotten and buried beneath layers of time and secrecy, there once stood a fourth pyramid?

When the Mouse Wears a Tux and the Donkey Breaks Its Back: A Capitalist Tragedy.
In a perfectly paved European street surrounded by luxury buildings and morning sunlight, a bizarre yet strangely familiar scene unfolds: a ragged, exhausted donkey, bent under the crushing weight of five cardboard boxes, stands frozen. His eyes are heavy, worn out, almost hollow. Around him, well-dressed figures in tuxedos gather, but something is off. Their faces aren't human. They are mice — literal white mice, standing upright in tailored suits, laughing, clapping, and chatting cheerfully.
