“The Octagon,” they say
Egyptian defensive site,
Like a “Pentagon” in a way,
Except with three more sides basically,
And then we agree,
On the topic of Egypt verily,
Is the Tel formally,
Of how many layers of civilization
Are around
So we say about a Pentagon we found
The Tel over the years
Until 500 are there
501 Pentagons,
You understand
500 levels below again,
What is below the Octagon then?
