I seem to remember hearing a story about French soldiers using the Sphinx’s nose for target practice.
I think Zawi Hawass should re-think his hatred of Israel. They might be the only ones who could save his precious antiquities (and him, too!) by being the only ones willing to defeat ISIS.
Just my opinion...don’t wanna start a flame war.
Serious Islamists believe that graves should be unmarked, or only minimally marked, so a giant tomb like a pyramid would be forbidden.
Islam is a war plan.
Funny how these tools claim the property of what’s transcribed in The Great Works.
Exterminating ISIS is a “religious duty”.
I read somewhere that the Great Pyramid took 20+/- years to build, using some 20 million stones, according to the records extant.
The Egyptians would have had to set a stone into place every 7 seconds to complete it in that time.
That task would be daunting today with our equipment, so these guys should be busy for a while.
