hey greenbean, you really knew you had the right answer! lol Twice over it seems since you found out it was names of lakes also. I didn't know that so here again, we learn something on the bubbler's TRIVIA!

I'll check out the next question in a while and see what I can come up with. In the mean time...maybe someone else can figure it out?

heres a hint for my question:

this car was is widely known from tv

Crys · 12-18-2006, 11:04 AM

I know this one!!!!

It's the Batmobile!

I'm not sure when it was completed and delivered (I suppose I should go look on Google, huh :roll: ) but it was completely made by hand. There were three or four copies used in PR events, but even with all the stunts they did with it, only the original car was ever shown in the TV series.

Google says the Batmobile was delivered on October 11, 1965.

Here's a site with info on the Batmobile:

Here's another: http://www.1966batmobile.com/

For my money, I still would rather have the Tumbler from Batman Begins

hahahah for a non-car person, I'm really amused that I've gotten both the car questions.

Here's one near and dear to my heart:

This Valley is the final resting place of some of ancient Egypt's greatest pharoahs (among others). What is the name of the organization that is working there now to chart out all of the details of the tombs? Who is their director and what is he most famous for?

The west bank at Luxor is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. It is much more than what we refer to as the Valley of the Kings, though many have called the whole of the area by that name. In fact, many good books on the west bank at Luxor (ancient Thebes) are titled, "Valley of the Kings", even though they cover the entire area.

The team is directed by Dr. Nicholas Reeves (“The Complete Valley of The King’s”, “The Complete Tutankhamun”, “Valley of the Kings – The decline of a royal necropolis”) & Professor Geoffrey T. Martin (“The Hidden Tombs of Memphis”) & has been working in the Valley since 1998.

(psst: please post your citations and do not quote more than a couple paragraphs from the original source, as I asked before, because of copyright violation.)

You have the right valley, but the question is not which valley it is or excavators of the past. The question is "What is the name of the organization that is working there now to chart out all of the details of the tombs? Who is their director and what is he most famous for?"

Oh, and Theodore Davis did not discover the tombs of Yuya and Tuyu. James E. Quibell, one of the great unsung heroes of Egyptian archeology did. Quibell's methods were not nearly as shoddy as his wealthy American backer's. He also did alot of the work that Petrie receives credit for today.

Crys · 12-27-2006, 10:21 AM

Here's a clue: The name of the ancient city is part of the name of the organization working in the Valley of Kings now.

pk · 12-28-2006, 10:14 AM

lol, don't take this the wrong way but...I kept falling asleep reading info on this question trying to find the answer last night.

I spent the day in Milwuakee yesterday. One stop was the new Discovery World Museum. It was really a great place for kids.

And it was my grandson's b-day party last night, so I was way to tired to read about this subject.

I think greenbean or someone else is going to have to find the answer to this one or I will have to do it when I am not tired at night! lol

Hey, what about Keith, Rudedog, one of the new users? We can use your input on this question....any HELP out there????
