A Hilarious Moment in Egypt's Ancient History - Foreign Tourists as Pigeons Plucked by Egyptian Vultures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous postcard print captures the essence of travel and tourism with a witty twist. The cartoon depicts a group of foreign tourists, dressed in helmets and carrying cloth bags, being "sold" as pigeons by mischievous Egyptian vultures. The tourists, with wide-eyed expressions of surprise and amusement, are adorned with various souvenirs such as beads, shoes, statuettes, and even helmets, while the vultures proudly display their latest "catch" with a triumphant "Hulli, Gulli!" (a fictional Egyptian phrase meaning "sold, conned, duped" in this context). The humor in this cartoon lies in the playful lampooning of the age-old tradition of tourists being "fleeced" or overcharged for souvenirs. The tourists, eager to bring home memories of their travels, are shown as willing participants in this comical exchange. The Egyptian vultures, with their sharp eyes and cunning grins, represent the savvy local traders who have mastered the art of selling momentos to the unsuspecting traveler. Despite the lighthearted nature of the image, it also highlights the rich history and cultural exchange that occurs during travel. The tourists, dressed in modern clothing, stand in stark contrast to the ancient Egyptian vultures, showcasing the intersection of the past and present. The shining pyramids and historical landmarks in the background add to the sense of wonder and adventure that comes with exploring new places. Overall, this postcard print is a delightful reminder of the joys and challenges of travel and the unique experiences it brings.
