Totally off topic: Update on the Coptic Museum.
Well I was under the impression that the museum was all but finished since they open in two weeks, but there are concrete mixers and scaffolding in the front room, so it's a wreck. The only thing not locked up and off-site were the niches from Sakarra.
Unbelievably neat stuff. So not a total loss.
Sorry Aitor, no Spangenhelm.
Is there anything worth seeing in the Alexandrian Greco-Roman museum
(I mean from a RAT perspective)
