    Alabaster carving into vases and other figurines is a local craft in Egypt.

    In most of the factories where these stone items come from, they will give you a short introduction into how they are done.
    It is interesting, because hey also show you how some fake the granit-figures by making them heavier (those are not cared stone, but cement like things with old iron parts in it).

     Interesting descriptions and historical explanations. I imagine that Pharao Amenophis III would have found it perfectly normal to have 40000 people come and look at his tomb. I've never been to Luxor, but I have booked a room at Hotel Louxor in Paris.    		hunterV Sat Jan 1, 2005 21:13 UTC
     I have heard of those places and watched TV - and you've been there! Fine! Good luck!

     Really good page. Your photographs a stunning.    		tpal Tue Dec 14, 2004 22:03 UTC
     I am so envious of your trip to Egypt. I'm afraid I may be walking on three legs before I get there :-( Your tips are excellent. Really good reading. BTW Indian Summer is a warm spell after a hard freeze. I think I blinked and missed it this year...Tom
