A slew of stories about the opening of the new de Young Museum of Fine Arts, San Francisco, and its inaugural exhibition Hatshepsut from Queen to Pharaoh.

She married her brother, became queen and amicably ruled ancient Egypt with her nephew, who was also her stepson, for nearly 20 years.

A capable leader whose reign brought with it a surge of prosperity and a flowering of the arts, Hatshepsut should be as well known as Cleopatra and Nefertiti.

Qasr el-Nil Street, one of Cairo's oldest and most prestigious streets, is to have its historical and urban features restored and revived. The project is part of a larger project to restore and revive the whole of downtown Cairo.

Mrs Suzanne Mubarak described the Qasr el-Nil project as "a beautiful dream" while she was watching a film about it.

This historic and cultural area has witnessed many changes over the centuries and it can offer us a valuable insight into the past.

Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni says that the project reflects the Ministry's efforts to restore one of Cairo's most famous streets and that it will serve as a model for similar projects.

Galal Ebada, an assistant professor of architecture at Ain Shams University, who designed the project, said that the street's original appearance will be preserved and illegal structures on the pavement will be removed.

"Traffic flow and parking will be reconsidered, while we will give a lot of attention to the facades of the buildings, removing anything that detracts from their beauty," added Ebada.

Qasr el-Nil Street, one of the oldest thoroughfares in downtown Cairo, was named after a palace built by Mohamed Ali Pasha on the banks of the Nile, near Qasr el-Nil Bridge.

It begins at Midan el-Tahrir and ends at Midan el-Opera in el-Ataba. It is full of company offices, cafes, cinemas, theatres and social clubs.

"Mummy: the inside story" is a new exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science that runs through Feb. 12 [2006].

In the past the only way to learn about a mummy was to unwrap it, a process that was both destructive and irreversible. Now, with the development of modern imaging technology, it is possible to extract volumes of information about ancient Egypt without disturbing the mummies.

This exhibit presents two worlds, ancient Egypt through Nesperennub, a 2,800-year-old priest, and the 21st century through computerized tomography scans...
