Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Egypt (Lower Egypt (North))
Visited: Yes
Sneferu's Bent Pyramid submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Mar 2006. Sneferu's second attempt at building a proper pyramid.

Trip No.2 Entry No.4 Date Added: 24th Dec 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes
Avebury submitted by creators on 27th May 2005. I have been reluctant to submit this picture because it is a composite, taken on the same day in the same place but still a composite. It is AngieLake's exquisitely named 'receptors' hands receiving the moon and a picture I love.
