JACK'S GRILL AND OASIS

Towards the early years of the 19th century a certain Captain Jack became known as a great explorer of the mysteries of Africa. 

Jack established a pub on the shores of the Nile, which outlived him by many years, and is said to be honored by Jack's mummy serving as bartender to this day, thanks to the forgotten science of the funerary illuminati of the Nile.

Jack set up a local post, for which he created a series of local post stamps, now mostly quite rare, and mostly lost or damaged by babboon bites, as the banana gum on the backs of the stamps was too much of a temptation to the aforementioned anthropoidal connoiseurs.

Jack's pub is famous for it's fermented toddy, the recipe of which has been kept secret for centuries and is now one of the Eight Mysteries of Neferneferland.

JOHN LEE HOOKER MUSIC FESTIVAL

If one carefully examines the map of Neferneferland one will discover not only the ancient city of Memphis, which in modern times had a town in Tennessee named after it, but also the ancient city of Nashville, similarly honored by some strange coincidence also in Tennessee.

When asked about this,  Ms.Tinker Belle, the stage manager of the John Lee Hooker Festival, referred us to the works of Edgar Cayce for elucidation of this point. Others may cite obscure texts found in versions of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, a text popularized in the 20th century by Carl Jung and Jerry Garcia.

Nefer, of course, means 'beautiful' in the ancient Egyptian language.
