Erm, nope. Moving on... There were many maps produced in the Renaissance, for instance, which is where the Mercator projection map comes from. Does that mean he borrowed Da Vinci's helicopter? Obviously not. When the ancient Egyptians soared, Ahmed Maged, The Daily Star, Egypt, May 11, 2007. |

Too fragile to travel |
Google It! |

A nice piece by Margaret Maitland about the various museums that Zahi Hawass has recently asked for loans from, including Berlin for the Nefertiti bust and the British Museum for the Rosetta Stone etc. And contrasting that with the Egyptian's own insistence that Tutankhamun's gold mask is too fragile to travel for the current tour. Too fragile to travel, Margaret Maitland, The Eloquent Peasant, UK, May 16, 2007. |
