Site Type: Museum
Country: Egypt (Lower Egypt (North))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1987
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.

Great Sphinx submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Mar 2006. Egyptologists generally claim that the Sphinx has the face of Khafre, while others claim the rock formation is much older.

Khafre's Pyramid
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Egypt (Lower Egypt (North))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1987
Khafre's Pyramid submitted by Thorgrim on 13th Feb 2005. The most awesome experience is to enter the Pyramid of Khafre at Giza. Is it just a coincidence that Giza is located exactly 30 degrees and zero minutes from the equator? (Cairo is 30 degrees 1 minute North) Just think about it - some time before 2,500 BC, the Egyptians of the Old Kingdom placed the Sphinx and the great pyramids exactly one third of the way up from the equator and two thirds of the way down from the north pole. With all that space to go at - it must have been deliberate and pro...

London Stone
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes
London Stone submitted by Thorgrim on 1st Apr 2004. Once considered to be the guardian of the City and the place where all distances from London were measured, the London Stone now sits almost forgotten in a little glass box set into the wall of 111, Cannon Street opposite the Underground Station at TQ326809. Very difficult to photograph because of the internal light and glass. It is very low to the pavement and I put my compact digital to the glass and hoped for the best!
The Stone is a fragment of oolithic limestone and must have been brou...

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Would like to visit
Stanton Drew - Avenue submitted by TimPrevett on 18th Aug 2006. For evidence of the avenue, go past the NE circle, and look for the linear earthwork. The line is visible here on the LH corner of the picture; the group is on another part of the earthwork. Looking on the aerial pics, and on the ground, this can be traced from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock outside the Great and NE circles. I did have an excellent picture of this from the ground, but have accidentally overwritten it!
