A story straight out of a dream: Yesterday, an Egyptian explorer returned to Egypt with the discovery of a new country—the country of "Nourilla." He says he found a very advanced society there, but without internet access, and that they choose their spouses in a strange way, starting from childhood.

Yes, yesterday, the Egyptian explorer, Aser El-Demerdash, returned after a three-month journey to one of the strangest places to recently appear on the map, which he named Nourilla. A completely advanced country, with technology years ahead of ours, but absolutely no internet!

Aser recounted that entering Nourilla was like something out of a dream: transparent buildings that change color according to the mood of the inhabitants, and transportation that moves without sound or wheels. But one of the strangest things he saw was their system of choosing spouses.

The people of Nourilla have invented something called the Childhood Compatibility Fingerprint. From the age of six, they take their child to a room they call the "Still Room." This room is filled with bright white light, and the child places their hand on a glass surface.

This surface reads something called "soul frequency," recording a series of very subtle neural impulses and reactions. These are visually similar to sound waves, but in color.

This data is stored in a device resembling a crystal. As the child grows, this crystal automatically communicates based on their decisions and behaviors. Once they turn 21, the crystal begins to rotate independently around another person's crystal. If there is a color overlap or "match" between them for three full minutes, society considers them "compatible" and recommends them for marriage.

Aser also said that before the engagement is officially announced, they do something even stranger: they place the two crystals in an energy circle in the presence of both parties, and the color emitted from them immediately affects the feelings of the two people… meaning that if there is any distress, rejection, or fear within either party, it becomes immediately apparent.

So, if the process goes smoothly, the community considers them “complementary to each other,” and if it doesn’t, they immediately end the relationship.

The Nourella community believes that any network connecting people must be an internal, spiritual network, not cables and signals.

And although their technology is advanced, they believe that the internet distorts relationships and the natural communication between people.

That’s why, when Aser asked them why they don’t have internet, they told him that the internet distorts the fingerprint and affects natural compatibility.
