They couldn't believe the wheel barrel was still not patented.

Well since the wheelbarrow has been known since ancient times, they would no more have been able to patent the wheelbarrow than they would have been able to patent the wheel itself (which also has no patent).

Zahi Hawass...

C2CAM had a guy on commenting on this.

Beyond the legalese, Hawass makes this statement on Christmas, and makes it while the proposed "law" is still under consideration.

So, he's grandstanding, and according to the guest, Zahi got hit in the head by falling debris at a excavation, damaging, at least, his vision, and even a trip to US ophthalmologists wasn't successful enough for him to continue to be the antiquities czar for much longer.

IOW, it's his swan song before announcing retirement.

I'm going to copyright spheres... Therefore anyone living on a spherical object, like the earth (even though it's not a "perfect sphere") is going to owe me royalties!

I'll finally be able to get caught up on my credit cards!

Some Frenchman copywrited the smiley face. The copywrite is not enforcable in the U.S., where the logo originated, because the originator did not copywrite it and it was deemed to have passed into the public domain. Courts outside the U.S have recognized the copywrite of a third party who was not involved in its creation.

I doubt that this “copywrite” will be recognized in the U.S. One can safely say that the pyramids have passed into the public domain.

"Thirty-five million tourists visit Las Vegas to see the reproduction of Luxor city while only six million visit the real Egyptian city of Luxor," the paper lamented.

Because there are no homicidal bombers in Las Vegas?

Wasn’t there a more ancient group named the Hor-she-shu who actually built the pyramids? The Egyptians painted them (graffiti) but did not build them. You ever hear about this?

Nope, I think they did invent that backyard game though. :’)

There’s evidence for a predynastic age for the Sphinx, but in any case, the causeway built for the second-largest pyramid (Khafre) was angled to miss the Sphinx, and there is at least one New Kingdom-era copy of an Old Kingdom-era record indicating that the Sphinx antedated Khufu.

Jews built the pyramids. That makes them the original owners of the patent and the copyright of the pyramid image. Today, the Jews in Israel and the West are invent astonishing new biomedical, engineering and telecommunications technology that help Egyptians and the rest of the world. Today at least the Jews can publish their discoveries and apply for patents and receive a huge percentage of the Nobel Prizes in the sciences way out of promotion to their numbers in the population. Did Egypt say thanks then or now?
