Currently stuck in Medinet Habu, metaphorically speaking that is. Mind you, not a bad place to be stuck. Examining the wrestling scenes depicted in the First Courtyard, at the moment, and can't help thinking about the possible existence of an ancient TNA organization! There's plenty of room in the Courtyard for a wrestling ring, the roof could have been slightly covered to offer a cage match, whilst the Pharaoh and the rest of the Royal family could watch eagerly from the 'Window of Appearances'. What do you think??!!

Well I finally signed the contract this week, with a new publisher, to produce a tour of my beloved Medinet Habu. Very excited about it all. So, expect quite a few posts over the next few weeks, with regards to my favourite temple. I'm currently focusing my attention on the chapels of the Divine Adoratrices and have already come across an issue. I just cannot find a decent translation of the formula offerings entitled "Appeals to the Living". So, if anyone could assist, please feel free to contact me.
