    Someone should help that gentleman sell those paintings online! Goodness he could make 100× the amount he is charging for those beautiful pieces of art! I wish I could help him. He could EASILY sell the small ones for 100 and large ones for 200. I hope someone helps him use the world wide connection to save his plant. 😢

      Your right the sick part of this is that people in oh I dont know say the USA are blown away by this and this is still a primitive yet even I felt the same way.
      I was like ya send me a big one who where do I send the check.
      Yet again how much it costs to live and have a computer and phone over there is still a serious struggle and we are here in the states living in an entitled ignorance.
      I feel like the USA is in a contest on how fast we can rape mother earth and burn ourselves out of a planet.
      Its disgusting how much we discard and just trivially toss aside and yet we still are astonished that this poverty exists for such humble people.
      I'm not exempt from this at all we are all collectively responsible.

    Traditional paper making methods can be difficult to sustain in the modern world. With the rapid rise of technology and machines, traditional methods will soon fade into complete obscurity. It’s still mesmerizing to see all this. We can appreciate all their hard work, determination, and effort to making things work long term.

      Modern world doesn't require much paper, because most precedures that used to require papers have been digitized...
      Which is a good thing, because this helps preserving the big trees that are vital for the natural ecosystem. Traditional paper making methods only add to the benefits. Papyrus paper for example, are more durable than normal papers, smells much better, and much more ecofriendly. The yellowish color is also quite lovely.

Because millions of tourists are visiting that country every year, including myself, with no issues at all. And I filmed several times in Cairo's and Alexandria's streets.

    13 Thou shalt not kill.
    14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
    15 Thou shalt not steal.
    16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
    17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

    I never understood peoples obsession with maintaining "traditional" ways to do something. Yes, this was important in the past. A large part of history. But guess what? It's already in the history books, what is the point of actually maintaining it? It's inefficient, wasteful, time consuming, expensive, and has more negatives compared to modern methods.
    Tradition doesn't really mean much except "old ass way of doing something". With the current population size, and emphasis on waste and global warming, the most important way to do something should be the most efficient, not the most traditional.
