Just came across this postcard of the Pyramids. Obviously, it was sent from Egypt and although it is a modern day issue, it is still a fascinating subject depicted on a postcard.  |

A beautiful card indeed, I like it a lot,
but missing the interesting part, the back!

Thanks,
the barcode must have been applied US.
I wonder why they are exposing the foundations of the Sphinx?

The Sphinx has been undergoing a stabilization to control the base erosion. Dr. Zahi Hawass has really taken control of the preservation of these wonderful works of art. |

Worth mentioning, the nose (and face) of the Sphinx was
vandalised by a fanatical Muslim leader, not blown off
by Napoleon.

This Sphinx card came to me in a box lot. The main interest I have is that its addressed to a well known NZ authoress Miriam McGregor Redwood (from her daughter). Dated 1991 - Giza to New Zealand   |

I wonder just how many of those cards have been printed and sold through the years for tourists! |

Cheers James,
Davidovits is the book I read,
I thought his reasonings were excellent,
and I am a believer of the cast stones.
That picture of the author in front of the stones/blocks
fills me with a unbelievable desire to relive those times,
it was just so extraordinary what those people achieved.
I hope there is an afterlife where we can see :)

Deserts are amazing ecosystems. The whole landscape changes over 100 years. |
