Sunday . Time to do some bible- reading . Remember THE WRITING ON THE WALL @ Book of Daniel ( 5: 1-31 ) , where the mysterious words MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN appear on the wall of King Belshazzar’s frivolous Babylonian palace forecasting doom and downfall of his mundane Empire ? ( *** ) - - - The Art of Mural Painting is a loyal companion to the Traveller of Route 66 . Consisting mostly in ads and prop , MP ( as commisssioned works or as results of contests ) often mirrors a community’s self- concept or just individual desinvolture . Since “history” along The Mother Road doesn’t reach further than a hundred years , old heyday- pieces of Mural Painting are carefully preserved . Those Writings on the Wall which emerge in palimpsest- like layers are called GHOSTS .

( *** ) The Main Verse 25 -28, in American Standard Version , and in the Luther Bible 1545 ( via BibleGateway )
And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. / This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end; / TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. / PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Das aber ist die Schrift, allda verzeichnet: Mene, mene, Tekel, U-pharsin. / Und sie bedeutet dies: Mene, das ist Gott hat dein Königreich gezählt und vollendet. / Tekel, das ist: man hat dich in einer Waage gewogen und zu leicht gefunden. / Peres, das ist: dein Königreich ist zerteilt und den Medern und Persern gegeben.
