It is being conserved on site as it has a number of serious cracks which would make it unsafe to move at the moment.<br />Regarding Hourig, I have been told that she is not being informed about any of the discoveries being made by the Egyptian team. One would have thought professional courtesy would require the SCA to brief her on these finds.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303498740730207746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-31299965148526542352010-05-17T10:47:06.509+03:002010-05-17T10:47:06.509+03:00No you are right it is Hourigs site however becaus...No you are right it is Hourigs site however because of the ground water problem they are digging a trench from Medinet Habu to Seti I to lay a pipe. this will then suck water which will be pumped into a canal. The pumping station is being built at the Ramasseum. <br /><br />In the course of the excavation of this trench they are finding things and when they do the SCA is doing the excavation. The trench is at the west most end of Hourigs dig, parallel with the ticket office. <br /><br />Hourig has closed for the season, back in mid April but this work is carrying on. Egyptians don't have a season for work, so they are out there now and yesterday it was 42 c. amazingJane Aksharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14095946366899470418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6368980555997029494.post-36490864325224243682010-05-17T03:43:29.224+03:002010-05-17T03:43:29.224+03:00I'm a bit confused.

Any clarification would be most helpful.<br />Best wishes.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851820551399411904noreply@blogger.com
