Nice article about some recent finds, including at least two which have appeared on FR of late.

Clockwise from top: King Amenhotep III's sphinx statue; canopic jars from Sheikh Abdel-Gourna; a relief on Isisnofret's sarcophagus; the lower part of King Amenhotep's statue (5 - 11 March 2009, issue #937)

Thanx for the ping.Nice pics.Imagine the exitement of actually being there when relics this old are first unearthed?How much hasn’t been discovered?Tom:)

I would enjoy it, although the various risks associated with travel in Egypt mitigate my desire to try. :’)

Good point.Imagine being an archaeologist toiling at some primitive/inhospitable dig site for months or years endeavoring to provide anwsers to ancient history,only to end up on the wrong end of an ak-47.

Of course, if his father was a gambler down in Georgia, he might have seen it comin’. ;’)
