What gets me in your photos, Nick, is the fragility. Not of the tombs which have a fragility of their own, but of the surrounding hills, and of the village of the locals.<br /><br />The hills look as though they have been badly eroded by water, but is that possible? I would not think this area would receive sufficient rainfall to have water caused erosion. Perhaps it is wind.<br /><br />The villages look as though not much would stop them returning to the sands from whence they came. They look so small and impoverished. Fancy such a grand culture being reduced peddling replicas. Although these are not the descendents of the pharoahs, I guess, but of the worker-slaves.<br /><br />Wonderful eye-opening post.

I think they should be better protected for future generations to also have the chance to appreciate them.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4475588011822435195.post-52842978192746504172012-08-08T00:04:31.495+04:002012-08-08T00:04:31.495+04:00Wonderful insights into this famous valley!
