January 2012 Where The Heck Is It?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Clues for this month…
Anticipating the large crowds coming to view the tomb of Tutankhamun, Howard Carter invested his Lotto ticket winnings in what he hoped would become a luxury hotel, built within the Valley of the Kings. Unfortunately, the plans neglected to include windows, and tourists shunned the drab structure.
As his last official act before being dethroned, King Farouk ordered the ugly structure removed, and used the stones to construct the great Sphinx at Giza, which proved to be a much more popular tourist item.
Or do you disagree? If so,
1. Where do you think this structure is located?
2. Who do you think caused it to be erected?
Bring your answers to the January 2012 meeting and you may win a prize.
