The Collonade at Luxor -- those sixteen or so tall columns in two rows, seen in the middle of this image -- was actually built by King Tut, and later Ramses II -- often called Ramses the Great because he had a long reign and has a great ad hoc PR department -- had most of the traces removed. His own cartouche was carved over Tut's, except nearest the top.

I see, to Ft. Lauderdale. That's just over 200 miles from Orlando. Thanks.

I'll have to take a day off from work, at least. Remember when I went to the Tampa Bay area to see David Rohl last year? The folks at the New Chronology group finally finished working on the DVD of that seminar last month, and my copy arrived in the mail on Saturday.

"Where can you go as an adult for $30 and see ancient Egyptian artifacts that are valued at over $650 million?," said Norman. "It is unfortunate that museums can't be free anymore, but those are the economics."

I could say the same about health care...

Fellow Freepers:

I come to you today with hat in hat. I need your help. You see, I am only $10.00 away from being able to prove that I am a direct descendant of King Tutankhamen and that the treasures that have been held hostage for years by the Egyptian government actually belong to me. Of course, with your generous help, I can claim these treasures and share them with the folks here at FreeRepublic. Donations are being accepted at the address below. Bless you.

No way, the Franklin Institute! Thanks.

I hope Steve Martin reprises the role.

He ought to be compelled to.

[Fresh Wind]

Almost 2 years to wait, but it's coming to Philly! YES!!!

Good work. Maybe the author could have included the cities and maybe even thrown in the dates? Sheesh! ;-) Ft Lauderdale's not too far ...
