MORE BAHARIYA OASIS COVERAGE:

In case you missed the live chat with Roger Bagnall last week, a transcript
is now available online at:

Discovery.com has put up an out-of-date story on the find (i.e. the story
which was originally published in June), but there is a link on this page
to a number of photos that I haven't seen elsewhere which folks might want
to check out:

Among the articles of the latest edition of Archaeology Magazine online is
the full text of Zahi Hawass' piece on the discovery:

AT THE MUSEUMS

Art and Archaeology has a nicely illustrated review (in French) of an
exhibition called "L'Art egyptien au temps des pyramides", which will soon
be coming to the Met and the ROM:

The International Herald Tribune has a nice review of the British Museum's
"Rebels, Pretenders, and Impostors" exhibition, which deals with the coins
of various conquerors of various nations in various times:

The British Museum's page about the exhibition is also worth a look (but it
is rather large!):
