Ethiopia, one of the world's poorest countries, is keen to lure more visitors to attractions including archaeological sites, centuries-old churches carved into solid rock and ancient cities like Axum to earn more foreign currency.

A Marxist coup... Wars ... Famine ... The whole Horn of Africa has had a bum rap in the travel biz!

Ancient writings found at the site, and stored in a vault in Addis Ababa, have recently been deciphered to reveal the following message:

You can't be in the show, Lucy.

Who do you think they are more likely to confuse Lucy with-Ann Richards or Molly Ivins?

Lucy, stored in a vault in an Ethiopian museum, and other Ethiopian artifacts including crowns and scepters of ancient monarchs are due to be put on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in Texas in 2006.

I found out about Lucy from Lucy's Bones, Sacred Stones and Einstein's Brain - still have it, as a matter of fact. Wonderful read, along with his follow-up, Jumbo's Hide, Elvis's Ride, and the Tooth of Buddha.
