Not wishing to steal Horus's thunder - here's 3 early photos of Hatshepsut's temple.
Dated 1895
Undated, but possibly much earlier - note the upper level, where only the granite entrance is standing.
THis stereogram is dated 1905 - restoration is well under way.

Several of the things you mention are already done in the prison service in the UK - the prisoners cook the meals (under supervision), the prison farms worked by prisoners, make the prison service virtually self-sufficient in vegetables, and provide much of the meat used. The problem with the 'usefu...

It might be interesting to see if your newspaper has an online archive - even some local newspapers have them. If you want to see Carter's account of the days you have mentioned, take a look at http://www.griffith.ox.ac.uk/gri/4sea2not.html - the records of the 1923-4 season. It's in date order, and...

The early photographers had excellent lenses, and the glass plate negatives had no real problem with resolution -probably equivalent to many more megapixels than a modern digital camera. The clarity of some of the early photos often amazes me. Here's 3 more of Philae, taken by Bonfils 1894 http://ww...

I have to disagree - Carter was certainly a grafter - it took him 10 years or so to record and remove everything from the tomb, after virtually completely excavating much of the Valley. Most of the other excavators, with the possible exception of Petrie, were treasure hunters and general looters - i...

Life does mean life, Horus-but not necessarily life in an institution. The problem is that there is only one penalty for murder at the moment, which is the life sentence. However, the vast majority of murders are not in the same class as the Sutcliffe's of this world, who will never leave confinemen...

Yes - you are missing something. Firstly they are not scurvied Somalians in little boats. The boats are controlled now by 'mother ships' so they operate from Madagascar to the south, and way out into the Indian ocean - a vast area of water. Arming merchant fleets would not be the answer either, beca...

I have to disagree with Ebi - after driving in the UK for many years, and taking a defensive driving course with the company I worked for, I find that driving here is relatively simple, and that by mentally looking ahead, and physically using my eyesight, I can anticipate most of the things that bad...

Problems on the Blue side!
For most of the evening, the dreaded Internal Server Error keeps appearing!
For much of tonight, the dreaded Internal server error keeps appearing, and when I can get on, everything is slowing down - anyone else having similar problems?
