This is being sold on the spectacle. It is taking place, organizers hope, at the feet of the Pyramids of Giza. ‘What a sight that will be,’ they say. Well, that might indeed be true. Yet the truth is that anything at all happening in such a setting, whether children squabbling or even just a bird taking a shit, would be a ‘sight’. But take away the background, those pyramids and the sand, and strip whatever is happening down to only what is happening, then the true value should become apparent.
