For one thing it suggests that museum security may still be a problem in Egypt (which certainly could impact items in Egyptology collections) but also many visitors are interested in Egyptian history beyond the Pharaonic. I don't put many post-Pharaonic items in, mainly because they don't often come my way, but when something occurs that I believe may be of interest I add it on the off-chance. I do the same with some general items about technology used in other parts of the world, which have not yet been used in Egypt but may be useful in the future.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342690442454499340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-46021184025235803622012-04-05T11:11:50.879+01:002012-04-05T11:11:50.879+01:00Hi Bill.
