the LOST PYRAMID by Anonymous on Thursday, 06 February 2014
I AM DISABLED AND NEVER WENT TO EGYPT. YESTERDAY, I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF A 2008 PROGRAM ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL, RE: THE LOST PYRAMID. I WAS TOO LATE TO SEE MOST EVERYTHING, BUT WONDER IF YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO ANYTHING ON YOUR INCREDIBLE SITE CONCERNING THIS INTRIGUING SUBJECT. I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP.
AFTER FIRST ACCIDENTLY LEARNING ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE, IT WAS THE SOLE SOURCE WHICH LED ME TO BEGIN LEARNING ABOUT ANCIENT EGYPT. THE MORE I LOOK AND LEARN THE MORE INTRIGUING THE SUBJECTS BECOME. AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT. THANK YOU FOR THE SPLENDID CONTRIBITIONS YOU MAKE EACH TIME I RECEIVE AN ALERT FROM YOU.
THANK YOU.
