I am mostly in Ramnes Church in connection with funerals. No later than March 2024. The church creates a particularly dignified and historic framework around any marking of life's important events. You feel like you are stepping into history when you enter. The church is one of the many old stone churches from the Middle Ages that we are lucky enough to have in Vestfold. If you haven't visited it yet, a visit must be made immediately!

November 8, 2021 is a very sad day. A girl, dressed and named as a boy, “C.J.,” as she was commonly known at Horten VGs school and by her local community, was yet another victim of the norwegian system. Every year, many other girls and boys take their own lives, after being placed in a "perfect norwegian foster-family", brainwashed by Janteloven. This isn't shown in the newspapers! Why did the case workers from barneverntjenester didn't care nor do they report the abuses she was going through inside that "perfect bonus-family"? She might be in a better place now, relieved! Rest in peace!

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
