Dome loses UK super-casino race |
Google It! |
I hope that this will please Zahi Hawass who had threatened not to allow the Tutankhamun exhibition to come to the Dome, London, if it won its casino bid. Unfortunately Philip Anschutz (the US billionaire behind AEG) had previously threatened to curtail investment if a casino license wasn't granted which may affect Tut! This could drag on for a while though as there are bound to be appeals. Manchester wins super-casino race, BBC News, UK, January 30, 2007. cf. The Dome misses out, Harry Wallop, The Telegraph, UK, January 30, 2007. Previously: King Tut held to Ransom, August 31, 2006. Previously: King Tut hit by the curse of the dome, December 27, 2006. |

Pharaohs from the stone age |

You'll need to be an online subscriber to see the whole article or nip down to your local newsagents and buy a printed copy for £2.70 as it is on the shelves now. Hurry as, if I remember correctly, when the cover published date says 13th then that is basically when the next issue hits the shelves. Pharaohs from the stone age, Emma Young, New Scientist Magazine, UK, Issue 2586, January 13, 2007, pp. 5. cf. Arid Climate, Adaptation and Cultural Innovation in Africa (ACACIA).

Stone Man Walking |

It is interesting to see they are thinking of moving the solar boat to the site of the new museum. The existing solar boat museum situated just behind the pyramid of Khufu at Giza looks somewhat out of place where it is but it was built there on purpose. It is actually built over the boat-pit that the disassembled solar boat was found in. The pit is part of the exhibit and some of the covering stones are still in place.

Chance to see King Tut's tomb treasure |
Google It! |
Is this the “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” exhibition or not? If it is then they cannot be talking about 'this' March 3rd as the exhibition will be at the Field Institute in Philadelphia from February 03 to September 30, 2007 after which it move to the Dome, London (casino wrangles allowing) in November 2007 for an unspecified period of time. Following that both Paris and Tokyo have been mentioned. Could Bahrain be March 2008 after London? Or could they be talking about a different exhibition altogether?

'Mummies and Mosques': Local pair of cyclists experience Muslim hospitality in Egyptian desert |
Google It! |
I've changed the title slightly. In British English there is no such term as 'bicyclers', we are cyclists which is an abbreviation of bicyclist (rarely used). There is also a slight confusion in usage as in the UK a cyclist is one who rides a bicycle and a motorcyclist rides a motorcycle. Whereas in the US the term cyclist can apply to either. Bruce Junek and Tass Thacker have written and photographed a previous bicycle journey through Central and South America: , Bruce Junek and Tass Thacker, Images of World, USA, 1999, pp. 376. ‘Mummies & Mosques’: Local pair of bicyclers experience Muslim hospitality in Egyptian desert, Bruce Junek, Rapid City Journal, South Dakota, USA, January 08, 2007. |
