People of Upper Egypt. These are the faces of people that are remnants of the great civilization of the Pharaohs. Although you almost never see them in the modern Egyptian media, the original people are still there largely un-mixed and with separate culture. They have largely been squeezed out of the popular culture, but they are still proud and surviving.

Don Pendleton (1927-1995) was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He served in the US Navy during World War II and the Korean War. His first short story was published in 1957, but it was not until 1967, at the age of forty, that he left his career as an aerospace engineer and turned to writing full time. After producing a number of science fiction and mystery novels, in 1969 Pendleton launched his first book in the Executioner saga: War Against the Mafia. The series, starring Vietnam veteran Mack Bolan, was so successful that it inspired a new American literary genre, and Pendleton became known as the father of action-adventure.

In Japanese folklore, Gashadokuro or Odokuro, are giant skeletons constructed from the bones of people who have died from starvation. Filled with intense anger and a thirst for human blood, they wander at night, grinding their teeth and making a gachi gachi sound. They tower so high above the ground and walk so quietly that they can be almost invisible. The only warning you get when the giant skeleton is near is a strange and inexplicable ringing in your ears.

The word also means 'mystery' or 'secret' in Old Germanic languages and runes had a important role in ritual and magic.
