Pyramids were built for over a millennium in ancient Egypt. During that time, we can discern a definite trend in their development, experimentation, ambition, and the peak precision in building the Great Pyramid of Khufu, followed by a long period of architectural decline.
So far, we have traced the earliest mounds at Abydos over 7,000 years ago to the burial and funerary mounds of Pharaoh Khasekhemwy circa 2680 BC. These were symbols of resurrection and royal divinity, ripe with magical potential. They were still, however, relatively unimposing. When did the Egyptian mounds first become mountains? The biggest leap forward on the road to building the Great Pyramid occurred under the 3rd Dynasty Pharaoh Djoser and his famous architect: Imhotep.

Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day look different this year as COVID-19 cases, and new strains of the virus, emerge throughout Louisiana and the country. City officials have banned events and ordered bars to close in the coming days before the big Fat Tuesday weekend, while many bars and restaurants have had to close indefinitely.

The package includes deluxe accommodations in a King Room, $50 credit for food and beverages at one of the hotel’s restaurants, champagne delivered to the room once you arrive, and a bed of rose petals spread in the room accompanying a Ma
On approach, the Troubadour Hotel looks like what it once was: a rather bland 1960s office building. A discreet awning is the only real sign that a hotel lurks beyond the prosaic exterior. It s a misleading impression, though, and the ruse ends as you step through the doors and gives way to a whimsical and colorful interior.
I was immediately hit by retro-looking, geometric patterns and striking vintage furniture. Three-dimensional murals that represent parts of guitars and other instruments crept around the walls and bright abstract artworks framed the space.
