John Dovydenas’s Website

June, 2025

I went to Egypt again in January for a month, spending most of my time in Luxor, visiting all the sites again, and browsing the used book stores. In particular I visited Seti’s tomb and took photos of the Heavenly Cow, which I did a full translation of when I got back to the States.

Another side project I have is collecting optical illusions. The best one came to me in December when I got my first pair of glasses. It turns out I have an astygmatism, with 20/40 vision. With my prescription I’m back to 20/15. It’s quite surprising putting the glasses on and taking them off, such clarity!
