Dear Sundial Friends,

 

There are only a few old Egyptian sudials preserved at the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. More can be found at various museums such as the ones in Berlin, Brüssel, London, New York, Paris, Turin, or the Vatican.

 

In 1998, the director of the Austrian Archeological Institute in Cairo, Dr. Josef Dorner, gave me photos of three old Egyptian sundials that had been kept in the archives of the Egyptian National Museum and which he had received from the director, Dr. Mohamed SALEH.

Herbert Rau in Berlin documented the old Egyptian sundials in Berlin.  These can also be viewed from my homepage :

A happy and successful New Year to you all!
