It's not the Bent Pyramid, you cheeky sod - it's me trying to take a photo of my 'Estate agent' view from the Balcony!

Some people think that the Sphinx had a lion’s head .....but when his nose fell off, it was recarved into a smaller person’s head. But they still seem to have trouble with noses

So many statues without noses in Egypt. odd considering there are other bits that are equally fragile that aren't missing.... no Hackett, I'm not talking about willies.

The Sphinx nose was shot away by Napoleons troops practicing their artillery skills.

Unlike Greek and Roman sculpture willies did not figure in Egyptian sculpture, probably because most of it portrays the Pharoes or deities and showing their willies in public would have resulted in the sculptor having his willie removed amongst other things.

Bar stewards. Actually, there's a lot of damage from various egos through the centuries.

Awesome place to visit. Even though gazillions of tourists have been there before, there are some magnificent things to see.

But beware of galloping gut rot.
