Another last minute notification of a tv programme - this time tonight at 9-10pm on the Freeview channel UK History. The episode is entitled "From Plunder to Preservation" and is described on the Radio Times website as: "Documentary on the archaeologists and historians who uncovered the lost past of Egypt for us. A look at a time when the world of Egyptology began to take on a more recognisable face, as men like August Mariette and Gaston Maspero struggled to establish laws to prohibit the wholesale removal of Egypt's ancient monuments. We also encounter 19-year-old William Petrie, who established the use of photography in archaeology".
