Hello,

sorry, but Hawass mentioned a "the visitor center in Amarna", not in Aswwan.

Thanks for this Claudia. I'll change it. As I was typing it I was surprised, because Aswan has the marvelous museum, and I thought that the investment could have been better used elsewhere. And it so it turns out that it is! Andie
