It is quite curious that of all places, Southern Illinois is dubbed with the moniker, Little Egypt.
At first, I shrugged it off thinking it was simply because of the states southernmost city is Cairo, pronounced (Kay-ro), and that's all there was to it. But then There's other surrounding towns and areas with Egyptian names as well. It appears there is more to it.
It is also curious that this region coincidentally is the only place the next two solar eclipses can be viewed, quite literally an eclipse crossroads. And that has brought all kinds of speculation from Christian Theologians, conspiracy theorists and others.
Does this mark the beginning of the Tribulation period outlined in the bible? Or will the Space Brotherhood be landing in Makanda to take all the Starseeds home? Or is the Illuminati behind it all, knowing this was coming they made sure to predetermine the landmarks to fit their occult needs?
Who knows? But its going to be a magnificent spectacle either way.
