Photo Hunt - Hard to find
The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is Hard to find/ tretching the theme rather, it occurred to me that Egyptian sarcophagi are hard to find except in museums. Here is a detail from a sarcophagus in the World museum in Liverpool
Even harder to find on a sarcophagus is the symbol "If you think I look bad, you should see the other guy" a symbol found mainly on the tombs of Pharaohs who liked a drink and a punch up....
Well that's my story and I am sticking to it!

You just made me smile with this post. Happy weekend.
I think this is a good take on the theme. It was definitely a wide open theme but had me scratching my head to think of where to go with it. Happy weekend.

*chuckle* I wonder where in the Hieroglyphic Dictionary that one fits.
I like your story :-)
Wait, isn't that an emoticon? The ancient Egyptians had emoticons! Wild.
Great story and great photos. Enjoy your weekend.

By "If you think I look bad, you should see the other guy" the guy in the sarko-phag's refering to Sarko-zy.
As for the word-verification (tedhida): Ted's hiding in the sarkophag?
Ah Ted;s by the fire! As for Sarko, perhaps he will need a sarcophagus come the next election
:)
Glad you like it!
