National Geographic May Come to Film Documentary of Excavation
The long lost city of Egypt was discovered Tuesday by a Chicago woman on Highway 49 S. headed to Tchula.
Inez Green had never been to Mississippi before. She set out on a long drive from Illinois to see her cousins and was almost to Tchula when she briefly snapped out of her highway road trance to see a small green sign to her right -- Could it be? Egypt?!
She had discovered the un-promised land. The land of oppression. B.F.E.
"I had always heard about Egypt," Green said. "When I was in college, we had conversations about it. Like, 'Anybody goin' to Jackson's house?'
'Girl, you don't want to go out there.'
'Where?'
"That's way out there in bum f---- Egypt.'
But somebody would really want to go, so they'd say:
'So where is it?'
And they say: 'Girl, you gotta go all the way ... then pass the ... then cross over the ... take two left turns after the water tower ...' until your eyes 'bout glazed over and fall outta your head. I never dreamed I'd finally get here!"
Experts are hoping to find a myriad of locations within Egypt. Researchers are looking for Bob's car, your cousin's trailer, Jeremy's late night, the keys you lost your junior year, Vito's Towing Service and the Spanish building, among others.
