Here are a couple of my pics from Egypt. Alas, I don't have time to write more right now. Enjoy...
The Great Pyramid of Cheops! Giza
Cheops again. It's big.
Me & Sphinxie (I need a shave, he needs a nose)
Saqqara "step" pyramid (King Zoser 2667-48 BC)
(Zoser was big in Sumeria)
Temple of Isis (Philae)
Luxor Temple & Obelisk (collect 'em all!)
Colossi of Ramses II in Abu Simbel
Pretty cool, eh?

Hey, where are the laser beams shooting out of the Luxor temple?
You know, like this.
You laugh, but actually they do a pretty wild Sound & Light show in Giza. Like this.
Holy cow. Disney has taken over the world. Literally.
Should I bother with that sound and light show, Steve? I saw the Karnak one once and just about fell asleep... but it's not like it's far away.
And I'm looking forward to the next installment of photos. Sinai?
I thought the light show was pretty good--if you like that kind of thing. They played music from Lawrence of Arabia! It's probably better drunk.
Errr...what do you mean next photo installment?
Eh, you seen one eons-old man made marvel that took decades and countelss lives to create, on a monumental scale that can be seen from space and represents centuries of human achievement,
and you seen 'em all.
