Fare well, Ramses!

Following up to Sandmonkey's account of the move of the Ramses statue from downtown Cairo, Shehrezad ponders the nature of idolatry and leader-worship. They're a good pair of reads. If I had more energy, I'd follow up with an essay discussing that there is a reason Moses's tomb is lost to us, to prevent the worship of the man, or the place.

But I'm tired, so you'll just have to imagine it.
