I'll try again later to post them somewhere. I used to have an Honesty account but let that expire when it became for-pay.<br>
<br>
About the Coptic Museum -- I did try to go there, but it's closed for restoration, I was told in broken English. If I understood him correctly, it'll be a couple of years before it opens again. (Did you know that the Egyptian Gov't gives no support to the Coptic Museum? It's entirely privately funded, apparently.)<br>
<br>
I'll look for the Luxor tetrarchic items, whenever I can get down there. It's a bit of a ways from Sinai!<br>
<br>
Anything else to see? LOL Roman-specific, I mean; that narrows it down a bit. Muslim-majority Egyptians tend to forget the Graeco-Roman bit of their history, and positively ignore the Coptic Christian part!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
