Old Kingdom Egypt: Saqqara, Giza, Memphis

These are photos of ancient Egyptian sites dating from the 3rd & 4th Dynasties of the Old Kingdom in Saqqara, Giza, & Memphis. They were taken shortly after 9-11, which explains the delightful absence of droves of tourists. I have created separate albums for the Cairo Museum, Abu Simbel, & other New Kingdom sites.

Abu Simbel: Temple of Rameses II

These are photos of the great Temple of Rameses II built on the southern border of Egypt during the New Kingdom. The entire temple was relocated 50 years ago to preserve it from the rising waters of Lake Nassar formed by the Aswan Dam. I have created other albums for the Cairo Museum, Old Kingdom sites, and other New Kingdom sites. Photos by Gary L.

Scotland

Random photos of castles & places throughout Scotland. The English sent my Scottish Covenanter Nonconformist ancestors from here to Ireland in chains. They eventually ended up in the Appalachian Mountains of America. Photos by Gary L.
