    I took a picture from this very spot...in 2003. Love the mishmash of architecture in the building on the left.

    What a lovely portrait! I'm probably reading way too much into it, but his face really tells the story of a determined man who has weathered a storm or 50.

    Yes... I think if he told me, "Believe or perish!" my first thought would be that HE was the one doing the perishing!
  • Gwen Page said:
    I've never seen a photo of him before - cheerful looking chap!!
  • Mark Nelson said:
    May God be praised for this man. People the world over are still being touched by the impact he made on it.

    I think i'm right in saying that this was before the sphinx was excavated a bit (because we can't see its legs) and before it was damaged some more by troops using it as target practice in the war
