The Priest of Anubis

I, Kamuzu, Priest of Anubis, here relate to you an old piece of wisdom that I learned at the feet of Hanbal, my old Master. I was but a young boy then, studying in the great school of Memphis, learning the ways of the priesthood. It was there that Hanbal taught me an important lesson that I will never forget. Listen well, for if understood, will bring much solace to your life.

In the land of the pyramids,

in an old forgotten tomb,

dust and cobwebs

decorate the home

of a four-thousand-year-old priest.

The thick layer of dust

is a carpet of comfort,

and the cobwebs

a fine tapestry

that even dog-faced Anubis

would be proud of.
