The Egyptians are highly motivated to exaggerate as they look to the tourist industry to rebound.  Of course, if the nutty muslims would stop shooting up the tour buses they might have a better chance.

The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

Everybody wants money.

Nonetheless, I never saw anything that stops you from going there.  I wonder why they don't like you?

Don't know. Yahoo News has an article on this. Haven't read that one, either. ;)

That is the official line.  Supposedly centuries ago, they knocked the nose of the Sphinx off.  But most people here are Progressive, they despise the past just as much, though for different reasons.

No one really knows.  British propaganda for years was that Napoleon did it but anything the limeys say about him is suspect.  In any event, there are sketches of the Sphinx from the 1730's or so which show the nose missing and that was well before Napoleon.  There's another tale about some nutty muslim getting pissed off in the 14th century because peasants were making offerings to the Sphinx.

Coincidentally, there was a serious earthquake in the 14th century, too.  Draw your own conclusions.

Yes, the Emir doesn't like paganism.  BTW - Some Egyptian women still worship Hathor at the temple at Dendera.  But very discreetly ... for help in childbirth.

Yes, the British blame everything on Napoleon ... but not the Scarlet Pimpernel ... Robespierre made him up.
