Egyptian Temple Takes A Hike
 l-Khargah. The 2600 year
old temple of Hibis in the Al Khargah oasis will be moved about half a mile. Rising
groundwater is damaging this temple built to honour the sun god Amon. It will be the
greatest move of a temple since they moved Ramses II's memorial at Abu Simbel.
Just thought I'd mention
this bit I saw in today's newspaper.
The Downloads
thread in the forum is also discussing moves and those have nothing to do with Egypt.

Updated Pre-Release FAQ
 e only put it up three days
ago, but today the first update of the Pre-Release FAQ has been uploaded. So point your
mouse here and click...
 In keeping with the Tut-Ankh-Amun story and the
illustration above the poll I added a picture of the king's canopic jars. You can see the
larger version in the forum.

Essential Elephants
 achyderms are here to stay. Or are they? At least
we have a post by an avid elephant fan...right here.
Innovandora, one of our
regular contributors poses another interesting idea on the randomness
of the game.

FAQ section added
 here's a brand new section in Pharaoh Heaven today
- the FAQ section. But why do we need an FAQ
section for a game that won't be released for several months? Well, it's currently
home to Innovandora's pre-release FAQ, which contains all the information that has
hitherto been released about Pharaoh, and is a resource that all first-timers should check
out. Don't take my word for it though...why not take
a look for yourself?

Sphinx jinx
he forum is getting very excited about
the Sphinx at the moment. Here's why:
| Some people believe that the
Sphinx is believed to be older than the Egyptians them selves, because there is flooding
on it all the way up to the head, and they believe that the desert around there was once a
lot of jungles. Also scientist believe that all people came from an island, and when the
ice age went away, it flooded the island and they all left. That would explian the
similarities between the South American and Latin Amercan and Egypt. On that island people
would be set aside just to figure out out to build momumentall structures, then some
people took it with them when they left, and some decided not to. |
That's Gray
Wolf getting all controversial about the age of the aforementioned lion-like structure
near the Giza pyramids. Seems like he's been taking a leaf out of Graham Hancock,
who presented a TV programme here in the UK (and who has written a few books on the
subject) and contends that the Sphinx was built in something like 10,500 BC.
Interesting theory - to see what everyone else thinks about it and to put your own
thoughts, click
