...aims to reconstruct the outer casing of granite on the Pyramid of Menkaure’s four sides...
They should include an explanatory plaque letting everyone know that the damage to that one was caused by one of the caliphs.
The Pyramids have lasted quite a long time. Resting the outer casing would help to make it last quite a while longer and show us how the pyramid looked at the beginning. Thats my unqualified 2 cents.
I am watching the Weather Channel seeing reports on the “monster storm” about to hit the West Coast. I also noted recent reports about East Coast areas that have had no snow for around 2 years. I decided to look at reports on the Hunga Tonga volcano blast 2 years ago to see if the huge cloud of water vapor thrown high into the air might be related to these changes in recent weather. I note you have not posted much CATASTROPHISM lately, so you might find some of the many articles posted below this Goggle category link suitable for posting. There were at least 2 on the weather disaster in the 500s.
