Kinnerton
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Couldn't find on 18th Jul 2009
Kinnerton submitted by TheWhiteRider on 4th Jul 2005. We could only find one of the Kinerton Standing Stones. This one, just visible in the long grass is right next to a footpath. The other, according to the map, is just a little way down the road, but appears to be on private land and is hidden by a high hedge and other foliage. A visit during the Winter months may offer a glimpse of it.

Xaghra Circle
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Malta (Gozo)
Visited: Yes on 24th Apr 2005
Xaghra Circle submitted by enkidu41 on 5th May 2004. Also known as Brochtorff's Circle. The actual circle is about 120' in diameter. Only about 85' of the circumference still stands and is obscured by by soil pile up and thick vegetation. The rest of the circle is outlined by a modern wall. The feature shown here is the central excavation in which Herr Brochtorff supposedly found other megaliths including an altar-like structure. The remains are thought to be of a temple smaller than but similar to the nearby Ggantija temple.

Cairo Museum of Egyptology submitted by AlexHunger on 31st Jan 2005. Cairo Museum of Egyptology
Many fine exhibits are displayed in the museum. The museum contains the items from Tutankhamons tomb, and the mumy of Ramses II amng many others. It has become a little cramped over the last 100 years and there is talk of transfering most exhibits to a new museum being built at this time and only keeping items relating to the 18th Dynasty, particularly Tutankhamon and Akenaten.
It is not permited to take photos inside.
