Someone made the claim (on a TV programme about satellite imagery and Egyptology on BBC 1 last night) that 'Lost Tombs are the Holy Grail of Archaeology' - surely, and without sounding too pedantic about this (always tricky I know), the Holy Grail is the Holy Grail of archaeology......
.....or am I missing something?
I think there's only one thing you might be missing, and that's that you have one too many instances of the letter 'n' in your blog title. I may be wrong (I often am).
ReplyDeleteI saw that programme, too. Very interesting, I thought. Especially the reconstructions suggesting that there were once a great many trees in that part of the world.
Come to think of it, there were once a great many trees in all parts of the world, but these homo sapiens sapiens things are proving themselves not so worthy of the name, after all... I think 'homo fatuus brutus' would be a suitable epitaph.
(apologies for the off-topic rambling)
