Hello, my name is Ebih Il.
I lived in Mesopotamia towards 2400 B.C. in Mari palace.
Look
at me now! I've moved to another Palace. Curators locked me up in this glass
cage. This is now my whole life!
Well, look at me, you passing folks! I'm always smiling! I accept the inevitable.
Sometimes I feel lonely. I like your company. I see masses of you wandering
through the Louvre!
Come
and see me! It's too quiet in these oriental rooms.You know what? People don't
stay here, they run away to see Egypt!
I 'm not a Pharaon! I am an administrator...
I
can't make anything of the remarks you make on the texts! All of you pretentious
highbrows talking rubbish about my life, be quiet!
There
she is! There she is! I can't believe it! She's talking to me! Listen to her!
Listen to her!
