For years, there's been talk of reparations for slavery. The reactions fall into one of three categories:
I don't intend to litigate the issue here. Readers have probably heard the arguments and sided with one or another long ago. What I want to do here is mention something I learned. It's a perspective gained from Britain, which is doing some soul-searching of its own on the subject.

| From 2019 11 21 Kom Ombo and Edfu |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt.
The city of Edfu was known as Apollonopolis Magna in the Roman period, after the chief god Horus, who was identified as Apollo by some kind of magical decoder ring used by ancient Greeks. In any case, the temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom in about 100 BCE. It is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt.
Don't get temple fatigue already. We still have Luxor and the Valley of the Kings to see.
P.S. Apollonopolis Magna would make a great name for a professional wrestler.
