Italians to the rescue


Mario and Luigi

ANoTD's chief Janjaweed operative Sam Geall brings us this story: Alfredo and Angelo Castiglioni, renowned Italian archaeologists and Egyptologists, are being rushed into Sudan to help in last-ditch conservation efforts. Similar to our topic in yesterday's ANoTD brief on Iran's Sivand Dam, Sudan's Merowe hydro-electric dam threatens to flood swathes of fertile archaeological land, this time in ancient Nubia. The 69 year-old Italians twins are famous for uncovering Berenice Panchrysos, Upper Egypt's "city of gold."

Good Day Kanishk, Sam and Ishaan

This is an interesting site, totally different from daily- event bloggers.

Wht caught my attention, are the images in this blog, that certainly add interest to a reader's eye with all the content, of course. How do you come up with all this?

Had a suggestion... Pls change the color text for the date of blog post as it is camouflaged with the dark text and dark background of your blog.
