Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
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.

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?

With all that space to go at - it must have been deliberate and pro...

The Quelm Stone submitted by wiztwas on 29th Aug 2004. Located in North Bracknell on Harvest Ride (the northern distributor road). To find it follow Harvest Ride until you find the Quelm Park Roundabout, the Car Park is about 50 Meters to the East. The Stone is only 50 metres from the carpark and a few metres from a good path, even some one wit a wheelchair could get near enough to see it.

Inkpen Long Barrow
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Berkshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2007
Inkpen Long Barrow submitted by JimChampion on 24th Jul 2005. A view of the east end of the barrow against the backdrop of rainclouds on a showery summer afternoon. The macarbe double-gibbet makes the site easy to find from the valley below. The erosion due to people walking the length of the barrow is visible in this picture: the info board says that various measures have been taken to try and limit wear and tear by the visitors to this great viewpoint.

Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark).
