West Bank - Luxor

Before we walk on from the Flint Factory look at this. As if the Factory wasn’t beyond the pale of time. This is a sea shell amongst the shards and discards, this must have been a shallow sea, a sea shore line, and we are hundreds of metres up into the hills. Makes Seti quite a modernist .

I will date this for you, Waz: this is a thirty-million-year-old fossilised clamshell, probably the oldest object you touched in Theban hills. Beautiful.
