We have always lived in the most degenerate age of a fallen world. It's not just camels we like complaining about.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

-- Plato (who attributed it to Socrates)

"The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."

-- Peter the Hermit, 1274

They have a couple of characteristics that make them so resilient in adjusting to the arid environment. I would really like to go to Egipt, but for this year we have already planned a beautiful cruise. Hopefully, we can do this thing with Egipt next year.
