Sundermann, Erich (Austria) For Cheryl Penn Alias BHUBEZI Woman Alias Hatshepsut alias Lady Lioness South Africa

Erich and I have been corresponding for about 3 years, and just when I thought there was a down turn in the fortunes of the Bhubezi Women, along came this beautifully drawn visual narrative relating to the fortunes of Hatshepsut - the 15^th character in the series of Women Who Hold Up the World.  “Years ago a big crocodile from the Nile came to eat up Hatshepsut, but hunted by her many slaves, and shot dead by the soldiers spears, it afterwards was made into a bag, to keep Hatshepsut’s lipstick ‘forever’.  It was found by James Henry Breasted in the sarcophagus of a pyramid, first shown to him (and later sold to him) by an Arabian guide (same is now on view in the historical museum of Berlin.  

It was demanded back by the National Museum of Cairo, but successfully defended as an object of study for German students, and also for the whole world because temperatures in Egypt are very hot”.

Erich has plans for archetypical buildings (safe houses if you will) situate in Between, Messenger Fish and plants from THEIR world.  Erich also introduces Sergius, the master Sculpturer and Builder who says “I am old, but to build makes me happy” - little does this octogenarian  know  how valuable he will ultimately be.  

There is of course the matter of the monument planned for the moon, a facsimile of which was used by Filippo Brunelleschi for the Duomo of Florence.   But more about that for another day - we have to deal with “One more Flower of my invention”.

Lets concentrate on the “lipstick” for a moment. It was not actually (although disguised as such) a lipstick per se, rather, it was a miniature of the Unfinished Obelisk (companion to Hatshepsut’s needle) - which are, I may add, universal clocks moderating Between. But, I’ve rambled on, and the Call is weeping through many universes - please excuse me for the time being.
