This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.
Muhammad Ali is regraded as the founder of modern Egypt. Muhammad Ali died on the 2nd of August 1849, and, ultimately, was buried in the imposing mosque he had commissioned in the Citadel of Cairo. I also think that the wrestler is named after him.
This is the final image in the stamp series. Ironically it will feature first on my blog as its message is to remember Israel's fallen soldiers and civilian victims of terror. Thanks again to Ze'ev for his help with the Hebrew and to Becky Liao for supplying me with the correct Chinese ideogram.
