The president appeared relaxed in short sleeves as he was guided round the world-renowned site by Egyptian antiquities supremo Zahi Hawass, with a visibly chatty Obama at one point putting his arm around Hawass's shoulders. The visit followed Obama's much-anticipated speech to the Islamic world from Cairo University, during which he sought to open a new era with the world's 1.5 billion Muslims. Hawass was quoted by state news agency MENA as saying the visit followed "unprecedented preparations and security arrangements." He took Obama to the feet of the enigmatic sphinx, an area usually off limits to visitors. "This is the longest official visit to the pyramids," Hawass said, at around 75 minutes. Almost every official visiting Cairo travels to the pyramids, which rise up from the desert outside the Egyptian capital. The pyramids and the sphinx are considered some of the greatest man-made structures in history. The largest of the three pyramids, believed to be the tomb of fourth dynasty King Cheops which was built over 4,500 years ago, is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that remains relatively intact. The site has been a tourist attraction since ancient Greek times with the US president also visiting the millennia-old "solar" boat in which the soul of ancient pharaohs symbolically travelled through the heavens with the sun god. The boat was painstakingly reassembled from 1,224 pieces of Lebanese cedar wood found buried in the sand decades ago. - - - Hot damn, tour guided by Dr. Zahi Hawass. I am jealous. Is this him? http://boards.history.com/topic/Midd...ntil/510005450 Officially plonked with your other two addresses. Three days of you is plenty enough. FloridaJim keeps on trying, but he doesn't succeed. Officially plonked by the screwdriver man. Now that's an honor. Oh? I believe I've raised WAFA's blood pressure on a number of occasions. More likely caused him to strap on a gas mask. Two gas masks...one is not enough. I don't pay attention to dumb****s like FloridaJim. You just did, no? |

I have to give a special thanks to Don White who sees to it that Harry always has the opportunity to swallow the hook. These guys are such tools. I don't know why I bother with them. |
