Hi Norman,

Not entirely frazzled the old brain then ( in the heat )... ? ... :-)

I envy you the visit ... Ancient Egypt has always been a favourite 
period of mine.

I do a project at school which uses the background research on a tumbler 
style lock that the Ancient Egyptians invented - made from wood - which 
is closely identical to the modern tumbler lock - Yale type lock.

A main difference is that they didn't invent the use of the spring 
inside the lock.
