Tutankhamun - his tomb and his treasures exhibition in Munich

Jaromir Malek is egyptologist at the Griffith Institute in Oxford, England. This archive is the worldwide leading one, because they have the original personal notes from Howard Carter, the discoverer of the more than 3000 years old thomb.
The remarkable point is, the institute provide full access to all this informations for free and to everybody. Just visit the website and read through his digitized notes or view the pictures taken from the early 1920th until now.
Providing historical information unrestricted to the public seems to be the best way to preserve this unique informations forever.
Later this year the exhibition will also move on to Hamburg in Germany.
See some pictures in my G A L L E R Y.
Visit Website Tut-Ausstellung and the Griffith Institutes in Oxford, where Carter´s diarys and pictures are published

New Year's Eve 2008 - finaly a great review

Endless discoveries like ice on the Mars, our accomplishments facing the view of the beginning of our universe and confirmation of the existence of an supermassive black hole in the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy opend our eyes in 2008.
Telescopes developed about 400 years ago by Galileo Galilei provided such possibilitys and that´s what should be honored with this "International Year of Astronomy" (IYA 2009, Astro-Jahr).
Happy 2009 indeed...
Germany declares the next "4th Reich"
"The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either"
"Wer die Freiheit aufgibt um Sicherheit zu gewinnen, der wird am Ende beides verlieren"
Benjamin Franklin
From now its legal for Germans state authority to search stealthy in your inviolable privacy for any suspect "terrorist" actions.
They have the right to spy silent in your home and install hidden monitoring systems without even your knowledge. Mr. Honecker and Mr. Mielke (DDR/GDR) would be pleased about such a situation. The only question is: When did we start again to chase people and burn buildings? Ask yourself...
