Egypt, 2002-2005 Egyptian Art |
Sorry for the bad quality of the image. I received these stamps from Egypt long time ago, and I thought that Egyptian hieroglyphs could be a good theme for letter E of Sunday Stamps.
Have you noticed how often the Ancient Egypt (and the hieroglyphs!) appear on stamps from countries other that Egypt?
United Kingdom, 1982 Information Technology |
Hungary, 2013 The 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Giuseppe Verdi (This is an audible stamp!) |
Brazil, 2010 Diplomatic Relations Brazil-Egypt, Temple of Abu Simbel |
The Netherlands, 2010 25th Anniversary of the company Djoser (More information, in Dutch) |
indeed i haven't noticed how often egypt is represented on other nations' stamps - a great idea for this sunday :)
ReplyDeleteFun topic, and what a nice mini-collection of stamps.
ReplyDeleteCreative topic. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have liked the theme! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the Verdi stamp. Egyptian hieroglyphs are both fascinating beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSame here.
DeleteThis prompts me to pay more attention in the details of the stamps I have to appreciate them more.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I love about "Sunday Stamps" is that it makes me look more carefully to stamps!
DeleteI haven't really received a lot of mail from Egypt, even though I don't consider it like some super rare country.
ReplyDeleteHieroglyphs have always fascinated me but I haven't really noticed them being used on other countries stamps.... till now.
Now you will look for them... :)
DeleteI hadn't seen the GB Information Technology stamp before - and never expected to make the connection to hieroglyphs.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a beautiful and meaningful stamp.
