Photos were excellent but also frustrating, in that only that one isolated view was avaiable. I'm sure eager to see more, to state the obvious.

But, also, that photo of the "head of a 3000-year-old statue of King Amenhotep III" was great to see, given that the only thing previously about that discovery I've seen was in-site, whence the head was positioned face down as it was discovered. So, seeing it full on is truly something...it's quite beautifully done, and quite beautiful because of that, in addition to the antiquity involved.

Best time I ever spent overseas was traipsing thru the Cairo museum, incredible is all I can say as I walked up and down the aisles and exhibits.. that and R&R in Korea and the Phillipines, the times I remember, anyway. The camel ride at Giza was so so and the inside of the pyramid was kind of odorous, to say the least. ;-)
