Preserving the Valley of the Kings

Even as historians and archeologists bemoan the public's lack of interest, that same public manages to be interested enough that many sites are seriously threatened by the sheer volume of visitors. The Valley of the Kings is a prominent example, and a management plan for its preservation has now been posted at the Theban Mapping Project website -- which also has much else of interest on Thebes and the Valley of the Kings.

Thanks to Nigel Hetherington, the Project's Conservation Manager, for bringing this to our attention.
