Student id gets a discount on admission fees. Reporter's ID gets in any sites ... FREE. Too bad, I have none of them.

Egypt is famous for papyrus, it is believed where the word, "Paper" came from. Papyrus manufacturing process has not changed in thausands of years : 1. The papyrus plant grows in the Nile’s fresh water.It has long roots and stems and the ancient Egyptians used it in building ships and making Papyrus paper. 2. The outer bark of the papyrus plant is removed and the inner pith sliced into thin strips which are subsequently hammered to break the fibers and drain the water.They are then reimmersed into ordinary water for three days until the fibers become flexible and transparent. 3. The papyrus strips are then cut to the required length and placed on a piece of cotton each at a slight overlap making two layers one horizontal and the other vertical. 4. The papyrus sheets are put between (used to be big stones) two pieces of cardboard and placed under a hand press until dry.The cardboard is changed every eight hours and the drying process takes about three days. 5. Finally,the papyrus sheets are ready for painting and are given to artists.

The model of Valley of the kings. Each tomb shape and size. And the longest one belongs to the Ramesses II, too bad, it was not opened for viewing.

I have been reading about pole shifts. They have found huge pyramids on every contenent. Some are even 2000 feet under the ocean. They got there because when the poles shift - the continents move rapidly into new configurations. There are pole shifts every few thousand years.

Awesome pictures, sounds like you had a really good time. What did you mean when you said "you broke the spells of the book of the dead"
