Egypt Pics

[David P. Valley]

My wife and I just returned from Egypt this past weekend and had a great time.

I thought I'd share some amazing pictures, for those of you who are interested in seeing Egyption culture.

I will be posting five pics at a time due to exceeding the limits of the uploads.

My wife loved this Egyption baby

This is the oldest boat in the world. This was unburied from a tomb 4,500 years ago.
Attachment 7264

Notice the rope that holds the hull together. Simply amazing that this boat floated at one time.
Attachment 7265

This camel is tired. Note the rifle hanging from the rear of the saddle. Everywhere we went, we had armed guards watching over us.

I was inspecting inside the pyramids also. Note the ancient way of monitoring cracks. They simply apply a cement solution (over the crack) and monitor for continued cracking

Very interesting. Thanks! ( Were those N.A.C.H.I. pens you were giving out? It must have looked like a bunch of young inspectors scrambling for 'free-bees at a chapter meeting! )
