Hah!

(that’s from Puya Punto, something like that?)

That sounds good.

Ideally, I could live on a yacht and just sail from port to port on the islands and mainlands of the Med. That would be good for a couple of years I think.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure.

And it’s amazing how many earlier topics there are about this site. :’) No, really, try clicking the keyword.

That’s also an interesting aspect to the Catal Huyuk site elsewhere in Turkey — it had no open market areas (apparently, the site iis 33 acres and only partly excavated) and no streets — the ingress and egress was across the roofs, and the entraces to the homes was through the smoke-hole.

The new Islamic government of Egypt is talking about burring the pyramids in wax. It would be better then blowing them up.

I’d like to see how long that wax lasts! LOL!
