I remember reading about the work they were doing when I was a kid to move the temple at Abu Simbel in National Geographic. I was captivated...

Managed to make it to Turkey (Istanbul, Ankara, Nemrut Dag, and some other sites), but never got to go to Egypt while I was in the USAF, and now I may never leave home again... darn it.

I have always been fascinated with Egypt but like you, I never got there. Too late now, I'm too old, I missed my chance.

You guys are bringin’ down this whole thread about this woman’s death. ;’)

I’d enjoy seeing the places (some of them at least, and some more than others), but I’d require that the place be cleared of its populace first.

Of course, what I’d really like is a time machine. :’) First stop, Mohammed’s home hovel, no reason...

I wonder what happened to the thread about top ten underappreciated ancient sites?

ah...
