- Daily Photo - Views From The Pyramids At Giza
I asked if anyone could supply some new and/or unusual images for my Daily Photo spot, and Fred Sierevogel has certainly helped out with this request, with these these two photos. Instead of being photographs of the pyramids they are taken from them!...
- Daily Photo - Many More Tix!
Well Fred Sierevogel has outclassed me with this collection of his tickets from Egyptian visits! I had a huge smile on my face when these sprang into life in Photoshop when I opened them. Thank you Fred! I was having a very bad day yesterday - but when...
- Blog Update - And Request For Photographs
I am off to the Current Research in Egyptology IX conference tomorrow (Wednesday 9th - better late than never, and thanks to Jacky from CRE for making it happen at all, because I forgot to register). I will be back at the weekend. If anyone has any good...
- The Second Door
http://www.algomhuria.net.eg/gazette/5/Article on today's edition of the Egyptian Gazette website by Zahi Hawass about investigations of the "air shafts" in the Great Pyramid - nothing new here, but I have added it in case it is of interest. It is...
- The Great Pyramid Shafts
The shafts that extend from the northern and southern walls of the Queens chamber have been found to have doors with copper bolts inside them. Perhaps behind one of these doors we will find a sarcophagus containing the missing mummy of Khufu's mother...

Daily Photo - The northern shaft at the Pyramid of Khufu
More entertaining and unusual photos from Fred Sierevogel, with my thanks. Fred calls this set of photos "The Mankiller" - the north shaft of the King's Chamber in the pyramid of Khufu. The outlet is at 83 metres high. The last of the photographs shows Ulrich Kapp squeezing through the opening of the upper northern shaft (not for the claustraphobic!). The story of the investigation of the air shafts is shown on the Upuaut Project website. There are no photographs but the site specializes in rather fine diagrams and architectural drawings of the shafts - it makes good use of CAD too.
Don't forget - I am always on the look out for photographs for the blog. If you have any that you would like to share with this blog's visitors please email ([email protected]) or add a comment. I won't be blogging tomorrow, but a new set of photographs will be posted as from Wednesday.
