It has been just a decade since, during our term as Sovereign Prince of the Princes of

Jerusalem, Scottish Rite Valley of Pittsburgh, we prepared our Report on our Inspection Tour

of the Realm of the Princes of Jerusalem, which was preceded by a tour of the Land of the

Pharaohs, including our individual personal meditation reclining in the Pharaohs

Sarcophagus of the Burial Chamber of the Great Pyramid. The report, entitled Our Realm inJerusalem, appeared at page five of the April 2001 issue of the award winning Rite News of

the Valley of Pittsburgh, and is reprinted here below for your information.

Then the promising possibility of a peace accord in Our Realm in Jerusalemhad

been abruptly aborted by Palestinian unrest originating in Jerusalem in the vicinity of the

Western/Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Rock (see page four). Unrest of such extent that

the rest of our party did not continue with us on into Israel.

Now the younger generations of Egyptians, with their Armys wisdom of restraint,

seem to be peaceable advancing the cause of personal liberty, a major step towards universal

brotherhood, reinforcing the relevancy of the hope expressed in our prior Report and makes itworthy of reviewing once again. Note in our cover picture under the pyramids the soldier is

at the ready, while the civilians are at ease, relaxed and unintimidated.

[NB: Regretfully, it appears that Egypt must pass through an Arab Winter

before reaping the harvest of the Arab Spring2014]
